Chinese soy sauce made from human hair is cancer causing and restaurants throughout Japan could be using it....

"During the Pacific War (World War II), food shortages meant that the soy beans used to make sauce instead became a foodstuff and hair was gathered from barbers and used to make ersatz soy sauce," Satoshi Noguchi, the boss of Noguchi Rihatsu barbershop in Kashiwa, Chiba[url]....more...[/url]

WTF? Human hair? I will never look at Kikkoman soy sauce the same way again.

Next up: Japanese mayonnaise.

WTF?!

[Mike]

The thought of eating human hair really does trigger my gag reflex. Not many things do, including the eating of trash (been there). This is just fucked. Soy(lent) green is people!

Do they distill it or mulch it or what the hell. Were they using it as an additive or for the color. Who the hell decided "hmmm we don't have any soy beans but lots of hair, lets try that". But I agree with the idea of barfing. Hair is one thing I can't stand even when I get one of my own in my mouth its just gross. But eating others ughh!

You don't get any hair in your mouth if you get them to shave first.

Smart ass, will they shave or no, it's their prerogative. Even after shaved, you'd still end up with a strand or two! Would you barf then? I think not.

A thorough shaving leaves no hairs behind, but you're probably better off getting 'em to get waxed just to be on the safe side.
