I totaly agree on not trusting anything the FDA has to say I was also raised on lots of bean soup and still like it and has never made me sick it is the food coming in from China that we really need to be worried about and I really read labels on this also all the chemicals added to our foods in this day and age the GMO's round up ready and roundup bis more dangerous than DDT ever was and these foods are soy, corn and sugar beets I will not eat any of those also one of the worst food ingredients is fructose corn syrup found in almost everything that is why I cook from scratch and READ labels
