While Richard Snell replied:
| lecithin (pure vegetable product), propellants isobutane,
| trichlorofluoromethane and propane.  Contains 29 calories per 100 ml ...

And both of us were reporting on cans bought in Toronto.  The obvious
conjecture is that Richard's can was older stock than mine (which also
has a sticker about having no CFC's).  But the really weird part, unless it
was simply Richard's error, is the omission from his list of the principal
ingredient on mine!
