"it is abundant in nature and necessary to most forms of life, including humans", so I don't think its like freshening up your drink with a good old batch of Clorox! lol Still probably not something we'd want to be drinking.

There is a "no sugar added" applesauce, only to have found "sweetened with splenda". I was so mad. In the Capri case....technically it says: no artificial colors or flavors.
