"it doesn't contain a synthetic, lab-grown building material"
Actually asbestos is a natural material (so some marketers would have you believe it can't be bad). It used to be mined in Quebec.
Modified the above to switch the example from "cholesterol" to "fat". The statement:
- A more realistic example can be found in various fruit- and vegetable-based foods that advertise themselves as "cholesterol-free," which is exactly what we would expect since cholesterol is only found in animals in nature.
is false as plants do contain small amounts of cholesterol, although they tend to rely more on phytosterols for cellular function rather than cholesterol which animals rely upon (see Cholesterol:Physiology). For clarification, the term "cholesterol free" applies when there exists less than 2mg of cholesterol per serving (see FDA CFR Title 21 Subpart D 101.62, under (c)Fatty acid content claims).
