Silk & Robert Cohen

[Guest guest]

I would not believe much of what the site you mentioned says..

 

It is by Robert Cohen who has pretty much proved to be an unreliability

source of any true scientific information.. and has been an instigator of

much bad will in the veg/ar community.

It appears Robert Cohen had an ax to grind with White Wave the makers of

Silk. (Unrelated: White Wave was bought by a large food Company but is

supposed to remain ~independent)

 

I love Silks SoyNog at holiday time. I consumed 6 qts on that week in WI a

couple of years back.

 

When you get here you will be able to get Wild Wood.. which I like much

better than Silk & Wild Wood is a sponsor of Go Vegan Radio.

 

Wild Wood is a very cool I think vegan owned company that... like I said

uses Fair Trade cocoa etc.

 

I asked to owner of Wild Wood why he does not make a Soy Nog & he said it

would cost too much to setup and produce as seasonal product in the small

market he has.

Hi all!

Ok, so little did I know that in posting about a yummy chocolate

almond milk, that it would snowball into a scientific investigation

involving animal experimentation! Yikes. Although, I must say, I did

not know of any harmful effects of carageenan. It's an extract of

seaweed, personally I'd think if anything, You can

check out this site if you're curious about it. This is one viewpoint

of it, I wonder if there is any other studies done on it.

I'm disturbed, as my sister and I go through about 3 cartons of silk

every week! Between the two of us, we use it for coffee, lattes,

granola, smoothies, pancakes, it's indespensible around here!! So to

find out it has this deadly cancer causing additive, how gross!

Regardless of your personal opinions of the source, the information that

he cited is quite valid. I will refer you to the following links which

corroborate his claims. The danger of carageenan is quite real.

Remember, just because the people are nice, their intentions may not be

the best. I know plenty of wonderfully nice ranchers.

 

Love,

http://www.veganboard.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000286.html - There are many

more links on this site.

 

http://www.notmilk.com/carageenan.html - Another good article, listing

many alternatives to Silk.

 

http://www.dadamo.com/physiology5.htm - A great article on the effects

of high polyamines.

 

http://www.vegsource.com/talk/veganism/messages/10007124.html - An

opinion from your own website.

 

The take home message here is to do your own research. If you don't

believe what you hear from one source, check their sources!
