Beverage-can stove
I removed the statement about the best fuel being 2% salicylic acid in ethanol. The source is not high enough quality for such a silly claim. (The exact fuel on the site is 38-40% water, so we would require very strong proof.)

Yogurt
Made the temperature suggestion less specific. Traditional recipes aren't so specific, and the formerly recommended temperature is (usually) too hot.

Whey
Make the yield of whey to butter accurately reflect what the source says. There is no whey:butter ratio, only a whey:milk ratio.

Whey
Removed incorrect amount of butter yielded from whey. The amount was contradicted in the source (and later in this article).

Butylated hydroxytoluene
Removed the claim that BHT is being replaced by BHA. It's been "citation needed" for YEARS and internet reading indicates that BHA is less likely to be safe. If you add back the claim, add some evidence.

Potassium metabisulfite
Corrected the units for wine--we should not be measuring a powder by volume. Also suggested that the given amount is HIGH. It is almost at the maximum legal limit for red wine in the EU.

Air purifier
Added "citation needed" on the amount of ozone produced (<0.05 ppm), because this can only be determined by measurement.

Remove the link to "pecuniary", because we don't currently have that page. Wiktionary doesn't have it, either.

Isocyanate
Don't write "opposite to" when describing two structures (which are actually not physically on opposite sides).

Petroleum jelly
These aren't as powerful as they're being made out to be: Acetone just dissolves some plastics, and condoms can be weakened but not dissolved, as a vulcanizate.
