OCA Web Forum Posting of the Week

Silk Soymilk Packaging Scam

The OCA web forum is an online community of like-minded people sharing thoughts about the wide variety of topics you regularly read about in Organic Bytes or on the OCA website. The web forum now has over 4,500 members and nearly 10,000 posts. One of those recent posts was from a user named Tedalan:

"I was very involved in the creation of Silk Organic Soymilk when it was first designed and manufactured. Steve Demos was very committed to Silk being Non-GMO, Organic and Vegan. Suddenly, when buying Silk at Whole Foods, I discovered that none of the Silk flavors in half gallon containers were certified organic. The cartons look exactly the same as before with the exception/removal of the USDA Organic Seal and the word "organic" before soybeans in the nutritional panel. This is a very sneaky way for a manufacturer to discontinue Non-GMO Organic soybeans in the manufacture of their product. I also wonder why Whole Foods continues to sell this product without a warning sign."

Organic or not, all soy is bad for human consumption and has been a scam foisted on consumers from the beginning.

HI Donna..I am here! Can't guarantee how much I will be able to get in as I am in mega groups! But will try occasionally to see what's up!

Now I was told and read that Soy Milk is good for you and especially for lowering cholesteral.

Yes I know, we were all told soy was good for us. It was all propaganda unfortunately to foist an unsafe product (cheap to grow) on an unsuspecting public. Only fermented soy is safe. Check out the link above to find out why.

Again, thanks for joining NATURE PROVIDES.

The change in Silk from organic to conventional is not the end of the story. Dean Foods has now decided to do the same thing with Horizon milk...creating a line of "natural" milk as an offshoot of the organic brand.
