Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Kellogg Replaces Trans Fat With Genetically Modified Soybean Oil Web Note: Non-genetically engineered low-linolenic soybeans are also on the market. Critics point out that Monsanto developed their low-linolenic soybean variety without gene-splicing and then arbitrarily added this trait to herbicide-resistant GE variety, essentially forcing their customers to buy a GE seed in order to get its low-linolenic variety. http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/DietNutrition/tb/2317 Kellogg Replaces Trans Fat With Genetically Modified Soybean Oil By Katrina Woznicki, MedPage Today Staff Writer Reviewed by Robert Jasmer, MD; Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco December 13, 2005 BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Dec. 13 - Kellogg has announced that it will limit the trans-fatty acids in some of its popular snack foods, replacing the trans fats with a soybean oil genetically modified to be more heart-healthy. Kellogg will start using a soybean oil called Vistive, introduced last year and made by Monsanto of St. Louis. Vistive is low in linolenic acid and reduces the need for partial hydrogenation, a chemical process that gives food longer shelf lives, yet produces trans fat. Vistive will be in a number of Kellogg's convenience foods, such as Cheez-It crackers and the breakfast pastry Pop-Tarts. The reformulated products are expected to appear in the market in early 2006, the company said. http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/kellog121505.cfm 1000 miles of endless screams, where all the dead heroes lay I've got the choice to set my knife, I've got the courage to set my life I've got the day I'll pick to die.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 aww man, and I thought that I could eat kellogs, geez, it's like you can't trust companies anymore. what are we gonna do? we can't live off the lands, cause the lands is being develop and the land that there is, we can't afford anyhows. so were stuck with food companies that are not really food companies but businesess, interested in making profit only. and even the healthy food companies, are prbably owned by them big corporations, so which ones can we trust? that breatheriarism concept is starting to sound real good. , Jonnie Hellens <jonnie_hellens> wrote: > > Perhaps out of the frying pan and into the fire? > > fraggle <EBbrewpunx@e...> wrote: Kellogg Replaces Trans Fat With Genetically Modified Soybean Oil > > Web Note: Non-genetically engineered low-linolenic soybeans are also on the > market.
