What's Up With Soy ?

BAD FDA POLICY ON ADDITIVE LABELING

And you thought you were safe because manufacturers now had to put labling info on their products, think again, we are talking FDA, the same people that brought you VIOX and only God knows what else..

We are extreemly unhappy with the following:

Did you know that if there soy or its diritives were just under 2% of a foods content the manufacturer does not have to label the product as having soy?

Worse

Did you know that if a secondary supplier manufactures his product with 90% of soy, as long as the first manufacturer is concerned, he does not have to label his product (The one on the shelf you buy) as having soy...

And the FDA allows food manufacturers to get away with labeling soy additives as "natural flavors" or "vegetable protein". This has enabled the manufacturers to slip by the folks trying to avoid soy or MSG. (monosodium glutamate made from soy).

It Can Only Kill some people, But I guess it's all about money so it must be OK!

For example, all sweet chocolate products contain soy but they get away with the "natural flavors" crap. Another soy derivitive is the mono-diglyceride used for emulsion in many foods.

And don't forget vitamine E (why in the world is it in personal body products? Your hair and skin is dead, so it can't prevent ageing applied by shampoo, shower and bath gel, lotion, etc.)

Why is Soy in tea, couldn't be a filler could it?

There's also a lot of genetic engineering going on with the soybean to make it do other things. The problem will be a product called something else but that is still soy.

If you do away with the milk, the eggs, real cheese, coca butter, then what are you left with, anything real; no, and the taste is not what it once was either which makes little sense!
