I love Junkscience.com.

They’ve just proven that, by Ben&Jerry’s own reasoning, their ice cream is “unsafe” and should be taken off the market.

Ben & Jerry’s promotional literature, available at its “scoop shops” and on its web site, states, “Dioxin is known to cause cancer, genetic and reproductive defects and learning disabilities… The only safe level of dioxin exposure is no exposure at all.” Dioxin is a by-product of industrial processes and may also be created naturally through combustion of plant materials.

“The level of dioxin in a single serving of the Ben & Jerry’s World’s Best Vanilla Ice Cream tested was almost 200 times greater than the “virtually safe [daily] dose” determined by the EPA.

“Ben & Jerry’s and Greenpeace, the company’s source for information on dioxin, have concluded that dioxin is not safe at any level.”
“If dioxin is so dangerous, perhaps Ben & Jerry’s should remove its ice cream from the market until it is ‘safe,’ consistent with the company’s promotional literature.”
