Abba_S, what’s your source for saying the EPA considers the type of ink used by newspapers toxic?
I found a recent (2016) article entitled “Is newspaper safe for your garden?” on the website of the Permaculture Research Institute. Their conclusion is that there may (or may not) be problems with glossy paper or color inks, that perhaps the pulp is bleached with chlorine which leaves a residue of dioxin (but more likely it’s bleached with hydrogen peroxide), and that if you’re concerned about GMO soybeans, you may (or may not) have a concern.
I find a lot of misinformation among people who are advocates of organic food, so I’m not surprised that some random organic blog says ink will kill you.
