Although I don't eat perfectly, I do have an extreme wariness of processed food, and soy in particular. But say it ain't so: most veggie burgers are tainted with neurotoxins. Frightening, I know. It's a chemical made from crude oil (which is almost a euphemism: you can also think of it as a petroleum by-product) that's also present in rubber cement and gasoline. (Awesome.) It is used to extract oil from soybeans.
What's worse is that hexane (the chemical at issue) is used to extract cooking oils that aren't expeller or cold pressed. I just checked my cooking oils, which are purchased solely from health food stores: one cold pressed, one expeller pressed, and one mystery product. I wonder my local take out place is using.
Mother Jones answers your questions. Think before you eat, because no processed product is going to be as good for you as organic whole foods.
