Interesting article. Acrylamide is quite toxic yet the polyacrylamide is

non-toxic? However, polyacrylamide has been highly touted as a soil

amendment since the 1950's by guess who......MONSANTO!!!! Guess MONSANTO

had some toxic waste to get rid of and found a wonderful use for it. Is

there any wonder why this stuff might be showing up in the food chain?

Knowning full well that heating this stuff will break it down into toxic

acrylamides? I notice that the FDA didn't test grandma's kitchen roasted

spuds off her Idaho spud farm though. Most everything they have listed

is....guess again, processed made by man type convenient junk food.

Seems to be alot of missing data here or it is just one sided. Not sure

which yet.

Needless to say MONSANTO is nobodys friend and they certainly do not

have the publics best interest in mind, ever.

Thanks TerriLynne.

I would also like to add that most processed foods are grown on large

agricultural combines who would be more likely to use MONSANTO soil

amendments than grandma would use on her small spud farm in Idaho. It is

best never to use any form of inorganic fertilizers. Always go with

organic mulch, compost, rock dusts, and green cover crops.
