From what I read,mineral oil is a by-product of the gas refining process. Nothing like starting the babies out early absorbing chemicals.

Hey bugser...

You were right on about the origin of mineral oil
Got this from Wikipedia...

"Mineral oil or liquid petrolatum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. It is a transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes (typically 15 to 40 carbons) [1] and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum. Mineral oil is a substance of relatively low value, and it is produced in very large quantities. Mineral oil is available in light and heavy grades, and can often be found in drug stores."

hmmm so much for mineral oil...
