Rocket Fuel In Milk

The California State Food and Agriculture Department and the Environmental Working Group, a private watchdog, have found rocket fuel in milk. Samples were taken from milk in Alameda, San Joaquin, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Orange counties and minute quantities were detected of perchlorate, a rocket fuel component widely used by the defense industry. There's disagreement as to whether the level represents a health threat to infants and small children. It is expected, however, that there will be agreement that the addition of rocket fuel to kid's milk will allow a general reduction in their prescribed Ritalin dosages.
