Young Living Essential OIL

Labeling on EOs usually says "not for internal use" but with extractives of fruit and spices, I wonder why not? Flavorings from the grocery store these days, and even from health food stores, are so highly diluted I could use half the bottle at a time and still not get the effect I was after. Especially McCormick and its related brands; those don't taste right to me and I suspect they are actually synthetic FOs.

I've been told the reason why they are labeled "not for internal use" is because in order to legally sell for food use they are supposed be tested by some gov't agency, and most don't go to the bother and expense. Is that true? There's only one popular brand I know of that doesn't try to restrict how the product is used, and that's 'Now' brand, none of which is organic. People tell me 'Now' brand is really low quality stuff. But they all say "internal use allowed".

I'm especially fond of lemon. Two drops of pure lemon oil will flavor a whole 2 pound tub of a plain yogurt. I recently purchased a small retail size bottle of aromatherapy lemon oil of a brand called 'Nature's Alchemy' and of course it says "not for internal use" and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me a good reason not to do just that? I've also purchased Aura Cacia citrus oils in the past.

Thanks for any info, and apologies if this has already been discussed to death before I arrived.

BTW, I don't mind an RTFM response, if there is a pointer to the information.
