Björn,

We have the "Öko-Test" at my institute, but since I am on sickleave I do
not have access to it right now. But nevertheless I can tell you that this
"journal" is of that kind, that you get frightened after reading an issue
to breathe, to eat anything, to drink anything except double distilled
water, because everything - yes, everything, is poisoned and even the most
biologically produced food is not o.k., because it is packed in paper,
which is only 99% recycled.....

Regards,

Franz
