Dioxin in Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream?

[Guest guest]

Is anyone familiar with this report?

http://www.junkscience.com/nov99/benjerry.htm

This is my favorite ice cream, and i admit I eat a pint a week. I'm

wondering if the researchers who tested ben and jerry's are affiliated with

the " notmilk " campaign? Does anyone know? The reason I mention this is that

I saw this link posted to another list in the same email as an article from

robert cohen of notmilk.com. That makes it a fairly obvious connection.

Whether or not it's true, does anyone have any information on dioxin

accumulation in animal fat? I imagine it's not something our high fat eating

ancestors had to worry about, but what about us? Are the levels something to

be concerned about? Is dioxin making it into animal fat via rain water,

feed, or...how?

This is about a year old, Suze. If I remember right Ben and Jerry's changed

their container to be labelled after dioxin free. I saw some of the beginning

discussions on this from people who seemed to be qualified experts. Bottom

line, unless us along with cows can survive without breathing there's no way

for dioxins to not be in any mammal's fat. Its emitted by factories and we all

breathe it in. Vt being low in pollution compared to other parts of the

country. There's no such thing as dioxin free milk.
