Yes. I know it is a supplement, but it is still in there. If it had such wonderful antibacterial properties, salmonella wouldn't grow in it. Take e-liquid, which has flavorings and VG, where bacteria probably can thrive, as they are sugars. No one vapes straight PG. The myth is based on inhaling straight PG.That Rambach agar is used to test for salmonella but the PG is only a vehicle for the powder agar
mixed in with other goodies.
See where the PG is only supplemental to the Rambach?
What makes it a good medium for growing salmonella isn't the PG it's the
Peptone and yeast extract mixed in with the agar, the 10ml per liter is just the carrier.
If you take out the agar, peptone and yeast you won't grow salmonella in the PG.
But I still can't find anything saying PG is used in asthma inhalers either prescription or
in hospital. I believe that assertion by the vapor industry is bogus.
I think the problem is pretty much all the vape myths concerning this are based on a study done in the 1940's, when even cigarettes were considered healthy...
