RE: concerns about hemp food products/Heather/Mark

[Guest guest]

I think what Mark meant (please correct me if I'm wrong, Mark) is that there

seemed to be an actual " warning " (meaning health-wise) for the non-organic soy

protein isolate, and the " note " for hemp products had to do with the legal

aspect.

workplace requires periodical drug testing or if you undergo recurrent drug

testing. "

Roger,

 

 

 

The link you provided does not warn against hemp protein powder, it is an ad

in FAVOR of it. It is SOY protein they are warning against.

[RawSeattle] concerns about hemp food products

 

 

 

Since hemp food products are so highly touted by much of the health food

industry for their health benefits, I was considering ordering them until I

read the warning at this link:

 

Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein Powder

http://store./iherb/organichemp.html

 

Since hemp seems to be one of those emotional issues where both the pro and

con factions are distorting the facts I decided it would be difficult to be

really certain about how safe hemp is as a food product, both in a practical

and legal sense.

 

In light of the fact I'm struggling with health problems and my current rule

of thumb is " if in doubt about the healthfulness of a health food, don't eat

it " I decided to avoid hemp food products.

 

I'm sharing this so anybody else who had taken the statements about hemp

food products " being perfectly safe " at face value will realize there might

be different views on this subject, and can look into it if they are

concerned.

 

May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter,

Roger

I didn't notice the warning about drug testing at the bottom, but since

Roger's concern is about the healthfulness of hemp, it wouldn't have

occurred to me that that was the warning he was referring to. The fact that

it might cause a positive result on a drug test doesn't say anything about

whether the product is good for you or not from a health standpoint.
