Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
The hexane in the end product, most of them are well under one part per million. In fact, a lot of them have non-detectable levels of hexane, which means there's probably some in there, but the instruments we have to measure it simply aren't sensitive enough to pick that out.
What you would need to consume from hexane to even have mild side effects, what you would need to consume is 11,340 kg of oil at one time.
