Phlux, I think that acetate causing living damage thing is total BS.

Calcium acetate is added to lots of food.

Sodium acetate is also added to lots of food.

Zinc acetate is used as a dietary supplement.

If acetates caused liver damage I think food manufacturers would be getting sued right and left with all the pickled foods, and other stuff with tons of acetates in it. That just doesn't sound right to me. I don’t think acetates are a health concern.

Sounds like complete BS to me!

You must be thinking about something else. I know oxalates are not good for you. Maybe you're thinking of oxalates?
