All this makes me happy I live in Europe...
Our laws are much more stringent, to the point that many hormones and chemicals widely accepted in US agriculture were banned in Europe as far as 20 years ago, in the '90s.
We do NOT use rapeseed oil or canola oil (unless you're british or scandinavian, but that's not my fault...)
those who don't use butter or olive oil for cooking and frying use corn oil or peanut oil, to which we have been accustomed for centuries...
If SOY and WHITE RICE are so bad, how come Japan and China live off it so well ?
Unfortunately that Dr. PatriciaB's website is visible by all, worldwide, yet her research (?) concentrates on US Agricultural products only.
It's a bit like European left-winger lobbyists pucshing to ban or levy SUVs with data based on US Highway Authority statistics... like Italy was teeming with Suburbans and Chevy Novas...
US white flour is bleached? OK, stop buying it, buy wholewheat.
White sugar is bleached? Stop buying it, buy brown sugar, better still, use honey!
Concentrated orange juice contains water and corn syrup? Ever considered buying your own oranges?
Now, when somebody tells me
milk is bad...
