Default I'll let "logic" answer that one...

In it's natural state Soy is good for something - not eating, but putting nitrogen back into the soil.

When things burn they give off fumes - many things give off fumes even without burning (that "fog" on the inside of your windshield comes from the dashboard).

Logic says... if something burns and releases fumes, than burning soy candles would release the compounds within the soy candles.

But more than that... what of the oher substances used in the soy candle recipe? And, what's the wick made of?

Why not just use natural wax - bee's wax - if you really want a candle. You'll still have to figure out what to do about the wick. But hey, at least it's more natural.

Of course, the simple solution is to not burn candles in the first place.

Why burn candles anyway? I can't think of any good reason to burn candles. Even in a blackout I can use a torch if I really must have light. And there are "wind up" torches available so no need to buy batteries.

If you must have a candle, go with a bee's wax one.
