Though I don't like the scare tactic of saying that something in a food is "an ingredient in silly putty." That doesn't mean anything by itself, since lots of perfectly fine ingredients are in all kinds of stuff you would never eat. A whole lot of inedible products include H20 (paints, for example), it doesn't mean H20 is bad for you. (Water.)
