Neil,

I found some "CSO" on the web but it was $19.50USD for a litre!

I read your link and must agree with JohnR... I hazard that it is a 'lab' funded quietly by the CSO producers in Texas.
The article was more an advert for the lab, having virtually NO conclusions at all regarding CSO, particularly as regards competitive products.

But I'll keep looking for some, because it won't kill me.

By the way, I do believe that you researched it.

cheers
