Don't confuse the terms 'natural' and 'organic'. Natural is mostly an uncontrolled term generally meaning that something hasn't gone through any 'unnecessary' processing. Organic, however, is a term controlled by the gov't. Controlling what can and cannot be used in growing/raising/processing/preparing the whatever.
I don't buy 'natural' products. I buy organic.
While asbestos may occur naturally in nature, what ends up in products (past or present) was never 'organic'.
