[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1016411, member: 12607"] 3mile, You're stretching. In a big way. Yes,[b] some[/b] things you swallow - or metabolites thereof - [b]may[/b] be excreted through sweat/sebaceous gland secretions, or in your urine, etc.; but not just anything/everything. Ever eat any asparagus? Mercaptans carry through nicely... I'm not a biochemist or a physiologist, per se, but as a classically-trained microbiologist, veterinarian, and pathologist, I do know a bit about chemistry, physiology, and the like. Some research scientist somewhere,figured out that you could apply fipronil to a dog's skin and that it would be concentrated in the secretions of the sebaceous glands, enough to repel/kill fleas/ticks - but it probably goes other places as well. No drug company has tried, to my knowledge, to get it approved for cattle - might not be considered safe for use in food animals(most of us in the USA don't knowingly eat dogs or cats), or the slaughter withdrawal might be too long to be useful. Back in my microbiology training, I was well aware of the 'fusel oils'(means 'bad liquor' in German) and other products/co-products of alcoholic fermentation - and aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, etc. may remain, depending upon the feedstock you're using (grain, potatoes, fruit, molasses, etc.) to produce ethanol. But since this thread is/was about vinegar - acetic acid is a little 2-carbon organic acid produced by oxidation of ethanol - and my point was that acetic acid is NOT going to be excreted in sweat - it's gonna be utilized in the metabolism of other carbohydrates and fats by way of the TCA cycle - and will not, especially at the dilutions the ACV proponents are pushing - really do anything measurable, much less the magical things they claim. Won't hurt anything, but it's a potentially expensive and unproductive tilt at a windmill. [/QUOTE]
