Whew! We needed a new crisis. The old ones are getting stale.
I dunno why that headline made me laugh out loud.
Yuck. I wonder if the Burger King veggie burger has hexane in it? I just had one for lunch.
Practically everything we eat or drink seems to be laced with chemicals, additives, solvents, pesticides, hormones, etc. Whether you are a vegetarian or meat eater you are being exposed to environmental contamination. That’s just life. Unless you raise your foodstuffs organically you don’t know what you are consuming.
explosive chemical ?... that explains all that farting.
Well thank God I just have chicken, beef, pork and whey protein then .... none of the poisonous soy crap for me.
I got some “natural news” for you pal. The air you are breathing right this very instant consists of nearly 80% nitrogen which is a key ingredient in explosives and fertilizers...
And I'm supposed to PANIC over THAT???
yum
This s*cks. I need to take soy as part of my hormone replacement therapy.
Damn this stuff sounds like urban, field expedient, bomb making materials!
Also the hydroxycut is not getting as much bad press in warning people as it should.
thanks, bfl
Obama’s fault
Interesting information, thanks for posting it.
That’s nothing. Bottled water contains a massive amount of dihydrogen monoxide. If just a little bit of that stuff gets into your lungs, you’re dead.
O my goodness.... That’s like 0.0021% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a link in your article.......I say ugh since I like Horizon milk because it doesn’t go bad as quickly as others....but...........
One company that had an excellent opportunity to meet consumer expectations by supporting the growth of organic acreage in North America was Dean Foods, makers of the industry’s leading soymilk, Silk. Instead, after buying the Silk brand, Dean Foods quit purchasing most of their soybeans from American family farmers and switched their primary sourcing to China. This cost-cutting move helped them build their commanding soy milk market share using soybeans of questionable organic certification from China.
“White Wave (the operating division of Dean Foods that markets Silk and Horizon organic milk) had the opportunity to push organic and sustainable agriculture to incredible heights of production by working with North American farmers and traders to get more land in organic production, but what they did was pit cheap foreign soybeans against the U.S. organic farmer, taking away any attraction for conventional farmers to make the move into sustainable agriculture,” said Merle Kramer, a marketer for the Midwestern Organic Farmers Cooperative.
Hexane is a common organic solvent from the same chemical family as methane, propane, and octane. It is used to dissolve the oil in soybeans, then evaporated (distilled) off.
I don’t know that that constitutes “bathing in” it or not. And soy meal has been in use for decades with no directly attributable harm. But don’t let that get in the way of a perfectly good panic.
Holy cow! We’re doomed!
