It's my understanding that a comprehensive calorimetry test performed by an independent firm is in the works. It will be interesting to see what the results might reveal - or will the exercise turn out to be open to interpretation. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
