Please read....this is why I think Postum IS GONE!


This is my theory

In 2002 the FDA discovered a chemical called Acrylamide in lots of processed foods, especially some roasted and baked foods that had to reach high temperatures to process. and I understand that this chemical is a carcigen...just do a simple internet search on it...

Postum turned out to have a very high level of Acrylamide in it....they believe it was due to the long baking process that was needed to produce POSTUM.

So now the FDA is putting pressure on company's to lower the levels of Acrylamide in the foods they produce...and since POSTUM has such a high level of this chemical....well they decided that it would be wise to just make this product go quietly away if possible...

I am just not buying the story that the demand was not there... Why would they stop production "everywhere" not even let Canada produce itl...or not even have it as an online product... I believe that they figured that people had been drinking this for Soooooooooooo...many years that well...If they waited for FDA to come to their door then it would be in the news ...etc.... and it could potentially cause problesm for them...
make sense?

Postum Drink

There is nothing out there like Postum.  You had a good produce with lots of loyal customers.  I saw 2 jars on ebay going for $35.00 if you don't think it is worth making it available again.  It could be a money maker if you just advertize it a bit.  Ho bring back, bring back, bring back my postum to me, to me.  Bring back, ho bring back, bring back my POSTUM TO ME, TO MEEEEEEE.  Larry Krayer Harlan, IN.
