From Mr K. W. Beckwith, MRPharmS
SIR,—I was truly taken aback by the letter from Mr W. J. Bowler (PJ,
September 30, p482), under
the heading “Heart disease” in which he declared that, from now on,
his tableware will be well rinsed.
He will, no doubt, be surprised to learn that my wife and I calculated that
we have been rinsing such items for over 40 years, not because of a heart disease
risk, but for reasons made public at the time that to ingest washing-up liquid
was not wise for health reasons. Our sink unit includes a separate section for
water for rinsing purposes.
