Hi adam,

I agree with you. My sense of what dr. sy said was that the consumer would

not really know if the ingredient list was complete or not. I would assume

that this company, Lavera, is listing everything because they say " full

disclosure. " the only other reason I can think of for not fully disclosing

is because they don't want the competition to copy them. ....so we suffer!
