Yummy...isn't it? Those vanilla ice-cream or puddings which you enjoyed again and again and again countless times. Years of eating ice-creams, desserts, jellies, sweets, and other packaged food products, have you ever wondered what is in the so called 'natural flavors' ingredient? It sounded so NATURAL after all isn't it? And besides, it taste so good.
Today, I'm sharing with all of you the truth about 'natural flavors' ingredient found in some of the 'delicious' foods you eat throughout your lifespan. It's called Castoreum! Yes, it nasty! What is it? It's a secretion of beaver's anal glands! Still going for that vanilla or raspberry ice cream or puddings? Imagine eating or applying something which is coming out from beaver's ASS? Oh god, that's just disguting!
Castoreum, is an ingredient used in food products including some of the desserts such as puddings, sweets, jellies, ice-creams, package food products, supplements, and even cosmetics. skin care products and certain oils. Why is it used in these products? I seriously have no idea! Let's just say that it is one of those 'top secrets' which food industries DO NOT want the public and consumers to know about. Oh yeah, they are protected by the 'trade secret laws'. Under FDA rules, companies don't need to include castoreum on the ingredients list, and they can just call it 'natural flavoring'. Ask yourself, if you are the food manufacturer, would you want consumers to know about it? There you go, that's your answer.
Now, how would you know if that product contains castoreum? It's simple, look out for 'natural flavors' in the ingredient list before you pay at the cashier. Everytime before you eat that ice-cream or sweets with so called 'natural flavors', think of beaver's anal glands! It's one of the most sickening food ingredient ever found and unknown to most people out there. I remember Jamie Oliver in one of David Letterman's interview saying "It taste sooooo goooood" in a sarcastic manner.
