actually some chemiclas can kill in ppm (parts per million) amounts. it is not just the amount, it is what the stuff is.

I dont know the safe limit for hexane, but dont diss the small numbers, as some stuff is very deadly in small amounts.

” -ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 50 ppm (TWA), Skin
other isomers of hexane.” The internal organs up take of chemical is at a much lower level than is shown here.

If you put a match to your veggie burger and it bursts into flames, then it has too much hexane in it. ;-)

FWIW, and IMHO there is no such thing a human-digestible “all natural” soy protein. Kidney beans, pinto beans, string beans etc, sure — but not SOY beans.

A veggie burger is going to consist of processed foods. It doesn’t take as much adulteration to grind up cow or buffalo or even turkey and mold it into a patty. But veggies are quicker to go to “paste” form than “burger”.

I think cattle have been fed soy beans for a long time. Don’t know about others.

So why am I suspicious that maybe NaturalNews is funded by the meat packing industry.

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.

There’s nothing quite like that Olde Worlde Hexane flavor that Ma used to add to her cookies.

Read up on our foodstuffs of the 1800s. The "good olde days".

Cheese may actually have been soap and milk was watery chalk dust.

The ChiComs have nothing on the old American hucksters.

Hardly, Mike Adams is behind Natural News, in my opinion the guy rocks and were lucky to have someone doing what he is doing.

http://www.healthranger.org/bio.html

Mike Adams is no stranger to traditional Western medicine. The son of a Pfizer contractor and a clinical trial tester for some of America’s biggest pharmaceutical companies, Mike grew up using prescribed pharmaceuticals, trusting doctors and believing what the FDA reported was safe and in the best interests of the country. All that would change when Mike was faced with his own personal health emergency, and the pillars of medicine he once trusted came crumbling down before him.

Mike began his mission as the Health Ranger as a response to his own failing health. At the age of 30, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a disease brought on by poor diet and severe lack of exercise. As a high-powered software executive, extreme levels of stress and cholesterol, depression and chronic back pain were common features of Mike’s past.

Searching for answers to his health woes, Mike dove into research; he devoured thousands of books on nutrition, pharmaceutical drugs, wellness programs, the politics of food - anything he could find.

Mike has now made it his life mission to share the most remarkable discovery he made on his quest: the vast majority of all diseases can be easily prevented and even cured without drugs or surgery.

And that’s exactly what Mike did. He cured himself of diabetes in a matter of months and transformed himself into the picture of perfect health in mind, body and spirit.

How Mike Adams transformed his own health

When Mike first began to discover all the life-changing information about health, he thought few people would believe what he was telling them. In order to gain credibility, he first had to prove that his own ideas about health were valid. So Mike decided to put them to the test by transforming his physical body into the healthiest patient any doctor had seen.

Through his own program of outstanding nutrition, careful food choice, and the outright avoidance of a few key dangerous ingredients (you can see them all covered in his book, Grocery Warning), he was able to dramatically revolutionize his own health.

Mike dropped 50 pounds of body fat. His LDL cholesterol plummeted to 67. His resting pulse plunged to 48. His back pain disappeared, and he felt absolutely reborn at the age of 32. Mike was in perfect health.

To prove these results, Mike had his blood chemistry analyzed by a local medical lab, and posted all his results online for everyone to see. All results are 100% verifiable and on-file with his naturopathic doctor.

Real answers for lifelong health

Emboldened by his own experience of health transformation, Mike continues to explore and share the truths of natrual nutrition, disease, health and healing. Over the last several years, he has spent more than 10,000 hours studying the true causes of disease vs. health. With the help of his extensive private research library, Mike Adams has authored more than 1,600 articles on health, interviewed today’s greatest pioneers in alternative medicine, and completed dozens of books and special reports on the subject.

Carrying the torch

Since then, Mike has founded NaturalNews.com, an online news source covering all areas of personal and planetary wellness from nutrition to renewable energy. Here, he’s written thousands of articles and built a following of over 800,000 people across the globe.

Mike has also founded a non-profit organization, The Consumer Wellness Center, an online retail center, Better Life Goods, and the popular publishing company, Truth Publishing. Mike speaks frequently at national and local gatherings like the Amazon Herb Summit and the Raw Foods Challenge in Los Angeles.

Speaking from personal experience and extensive research, Mike has touched the hearts and changed the lives of thousands of people around the world. Adams is a raw foods enthusiast, an organic gardener, and a holistic nutritionist. He eats no processed foods, dairy, sugar, meat from mammals or food products containing additives such as MSG.

Adams has been called “the best health and natural products writer on the scene today” and has openly recommended hundreds of health and green living products without any compensation or kickbacks. He adheres to a strong ethical code and practices the lifestyle he teaches.

"...take colloidal silver at 10 ppm and people will tell you how dangerous it is but hexane at 21 ppm and they scoff at it,"

That's because at ppm levels, heavy metals CAN be toxic. It takes MUCH higher doses of hexane to have anywhere near a toxic effect:

"The neuropathic toxicity of n-hexane in humans is well known[3] ; cases of polyneuropathy have typically occurred in humans chronically exposed to levels of n-hexane ranging from 400 to 600 ppm, with occasional exposures up to 2,500 ppm."{Wikipedia}

This is just more alarmist eco-propaganda (remember Alar???)

Nope, I’m wrong. You CAN produce digestible proteins from soy beans.

My bad!

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.
