Today all newspaper inks, including the colored ones, are soy derived
(black ink has been soy based for about 20 years). Until a few years
ago, colored inks on shiny paper (those ad inserts) needed a metal
mordant to make them adhere, but I've been told that's been changed
too. So newspaper shouldn't be toxic.
