Hey all, just wondering if there are any chemists on the forum that can weigh in on this recent article:

https://www.technologynetworks.com/...rticles-are-not-as-inert-as-we-thought-378027
Just wondering what the implications are for brewing given the presence of thiols in beer.

I'm guessing at such low ppms it might not be too big of a deal?
The alcohol in the beer will get you first, bananas are high in potassium and silicon dioxide I suspect that over the centuries it has been used it would have come to light before now if it was dangerous to health.
