Talk:Hemp milk

Re-creation of Hemp Milk page

This page was made twice before by other contributors and deleted as being an un-salvageable advertisements. After reading the Wikipedia article on "soy milk" and acquiring appropriate knowledge on the subject of "hemp milk" I created a article that while short is hopefully written in a manner appropriate for Wikipedia (though as of now it is still biased as it only mostly mentions purported health benefits). Note that I used similar content and formatting to soy milk article due the similarity between topics. Jsorr (talk) 16:21, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Now you are the expert. Can you add the WP:RS to support the health claims? That would definitely improve the article. I was wondering whether or not it should be merged into Hemp#Food. I think this depends on how much of the article is verifiable. --SV Resolution(Talk) 15:13, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I do not think that this page should be merged into Hemp#Food based upon the precedent already established on wikipedia to have independent pages on soymilk, almond milk, etc. I do agree that it needs more verifiable content and a more encyclopaedic perspective. I do not have the time to do this presently. 2h2o (talk) 04:08, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

No allergies? How about some evidence?

Removed claim that there was no risk of allergic reaction to eating hemp seeds if one has an existing food allergy. The source cited for this claim is is of doubtful reliability as he has been in trouble with the FDA for making extravagant claims about food products that he also sells.

Further, it is wildly irresponsible to make sweeping claims about medical conditions without knowing an individual's medical history and testing their response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.152.95.63 (talk) 10:48, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Discussion of phytates

The discussion of phytates in the article is contradictory. It states both that hemp does not contain phytates and that it is a substantial source of phytates. Perhaps the intention was to indicate that soaking the seed to make hemp milk may neutralize the phytates. I do not know whether hemp seed or milk contains phytates or whether soaking can neutralize them, but would like to know. Please clarify this important point.Contributorcontributor (talk) 18:35, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. Most sources I checked seem to tout hemp's lack of phylates as an advantage over other plant food (e.g. soy). Someone with institutional (or other) access to the journal should check the article cited in that final paragraph to see what it actually says. The summary may be correct. If so, some sort of introductory sentence may be in order to explain how that research fits with the other claims of a lack of phylates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.88.37.66 (talk) 16:47, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Dr. Weil as a source

Andrew Weil's web site should not be used as a source. He is a well-known quack. '--50.157.202.4 (talk) 14:27, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

I see that Andrew Weil's web site is currently used as a source. This leaves me and other Wikipedia readers in a sort of limbo. On one hand, the note here saying he is a quack. On the other, his website is given as a source. Who to believe??

Is there some way to resolve this conflict? CBHA (talk) 17:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Can Weil be used as a source for how it is made and not what he claims to be the benefits since the process is less biased? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thejavis86 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

water footprint?

It's great that the water footprint of "dairy" milk is specified, but since this article is about hemp "milk" shouldn't it specify the water footprint of the subject of the article?--2604:2000:C54F:E500:FD22:3BE0:2A99:AC6F (talk) 16:36, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Remove Banner

Have enough sources been added to remove the banner? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thejavis86 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

The only source is nutrition data for one commercial product, but there's lots more info in the article with no sourcing. Goonsquad LCpl Mulvaney (talk) 09:05, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

@Zefr: I don't mind your revert of my recent addition, but can you suggest some helpful sources for expanding this article? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:01, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

For nutrition, Wikipedia articles use the USDA nutrient database, FoodData Central, which gave this result when I searched for "hemp milk". Let's not cite public or private companies who manufacture hemp milk, as most likely those products have nutrients added during manufacturing (contents not natural to hemp). Also, let's not imply anti-disease effects from consuming hemp milk or any food - that requires a WP:MEDRS source (which doesn't exist). --Zefr (talk) 17:06, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Zefr, Sure, I totally understand. I'd like to see further improvement of this article, if you have any specific additions in mind. Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:08, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Most of the major plant milks (this link, right graphics) have updated articles. --Zefr (talk) 17:11, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
