Toothpaste update

Had a reply from Colgate-Palmolive today, who say:
Thank you for contacting us again with your question. Your interest in our Company and our products is greatly appreciated. We are happy to have the oportunity to assist you. Colgate Toothpaste does not contain palm oil or any ingredients that have been derived from it. Than you for taking time etc. blah blah

Why couldn't they just say that when I wrote the first time??!

  2. Colgate themselves say that they use palm oil. They mention on the website that they consume less than 0.2% of palm oil produced in Malaysia which has 85% the production. That is actually a lot! That means that only 500 products like colgate cause the whole deforestation of Malaysia.:
