What’s Hiding in Your Veggie Burger? Don't worry, it's only n-hexane...

[Giray Khan the Brave]

Hi all, just saw this interesting article and thought I'd mention it on the off-chance that it may be a good one for SOTT:

_http://www.emagazine.com/blog/whats-hiding-in-your-veggie-burger

...the benefits of highly processed forms of soy protein... was called into question by a... report... which claims that non-organic soy protein is commonly extracted from the soybeans by literally bathing the beans in n-hexane, a chemical byproduct of petroleum refining.

Thought it might be an interesting addendum to our current discourse re The Myth of Vegetarianism.

Cheers :)
