Kassandra Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 All this talk about soy and cancer has got me thinking. Soy wax is not made from organic soy beans, so is it dangerous to burn the wax the way it is? I mean, is it like buring pesticides into the air?

stacien Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Anything you burn is going to produce carbon which is not healthy. Wheather it is organic or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doris Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Very little is organic, even some of the things marked organic are sometimes suspect. A lot of land is quite polluted, as is much of North America's water, as well as the rain and the air. More toxins are continuously being spewed into the environment at a fantastic rate. Many of the things in common usage are full of cancer-causing or possibly cancer-causing materials. The list includes common household cleansers, many detergents, shampoos, carpets, stain repellants, insect repellants, flea sprays & collars, non-stick pans, and the list goes on and on. I don't think that the pesticide residue in a soy wax candle would make the candle very high on the list of dangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't know about other soy products, but the refining of soybean oil eliminates pesticides completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
