Chinese soy sauce made from human hair is cancer causing and restaurants
throughout Japan could be using it, screams Asahi Geino (11/25).
[...]
"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
Prefecture, tells Asahi Geino.
Human hair makes an alternative to soybeans because it contains the
amino acids that give the sauce its flavor. Some say Chinese soy sauce
makers who use hair as an ingredient are posing a cancer risk because of
the powerful chemicals they use to extract the amino acids from human
hair.
