Is L-cysteine acceptable to vegetarians?
What about to vegans? Since it's made from voluntarily donated *human* hair, there are no ethical issues involved, right? Of course, the grossness factor still exists, but ignore that for the sake of the question.
Answers:
Technically, if it comes from hair or feathers, it is an 'animal product' and wouldn't be vegan (yes, humans are animals too!). However, if it did come from voluntarily donated human hair, there are no ethical issues involved, so the underlying reason for veganism wouldn't be violated.
Personally, I tend to avoid this ingredient due to the yuck factor.
what is that?
can't it be made from chicken feathers also?i heard it can be extracted synthetically from coal too?If it is made from human hair isn't that a form of cannibalism to a certain extent?Hmmm,it's hard to say.i wouldn't want to eat an animal if it voluntarily commited suicide.(lemmings?)i guess you can eat it,but I still wouldn't.
