True fact: A common ingredient in commercial breads is derived from human hair harvested in China

NaturalNews)
If you read the ingredients label on a loaf of bread, you will usually find an
ingredient listed there as L-cysteine. This is a non-essential amino acid
added to many baked goods as a dough conditioner in order to speed industrial
processing. It's usually not added directly to flour intended for home use, but
you'll find it throughout commercial breads such as pizza dough, bread rolls and
pastries.

While some L-cysteine is directly synthesized in laboratories,
most of it is extracted from a cheap and abundant natural protein source:
human hair. The hair
is dissolved in acid and L-cysteine is isolated through a chemical process, then
packaged and shipped off to commercial bread producers. Besides human
hair, other sources of L-cysteine include chicken feathers, duck feathers, cow
horns and petroleum byproducts.

Most of the hair used to make L-cysteine
is gathered from the floors of barbershops and hair salons in China, by the
way.

While the thought of eating dissolved hair might make some people
uneasy, most Western consumers ultimately have no principled objections doing
so. For Jews and Muslims, however, hair-derived L-cysteine poses significant
problems. Muslims are forbidden from eating anything derived from a human
body, and many rabbis forbid hair consumption for similar
reasons. Even rabbis who permit the consumption of hair would forbid it if it
came from corpses -- and since much L-cysteine comes from China, where sourcing
and manufacturing practices are notoriously questionable, this is a real
concern. In one case, a rabbi forbade the consumption of L-cysteine because the
hair had been harvested during a ritual at a temple in India.
