[Rodney King]

Why do you say Ben and Jerrys is laden with dioxin ? (2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzodioxin)

Junkscience.com bought a tub of Ben & Jerry's and tested it. It found dioxin levels far higher than the amounts that Ben & Jerry are always bitching about. Of course, no Attorney General's sued them.

Thank you Rodney King....dioxin is a common bleach used to make paper white....it is very resistant to solar or biological degradation therefore it amplifies as it goes up the food chain....my guess is that the paper carton of B&J is whitened by dioxin and it leaches into the ice cream over time....BTW watch your coffee filters...i wash the filter if I have to use a white one...try to use only brown or even better, the gold mesh filters....dioxin will be found wherever you find white paper...it is a harmful substance
