This is a bad news, isnt it? As we can no longer rely on the natural flavors. We did rely on the flavor because we do not really understand the meaning behind the term. We assume that natural flavor is the flavor that only come from nature and that like everything else that comes from nature, it is better than the artificial ones. But is it really true? Or the natural flavor is just something that is genetically modified or pesticides laden food?
The truth is, although there are so many food products on the supermarket shelves with label of all natural ingredients in the hope that people would be tempted to buy these as they think to be healthier, but once you read on the rest of the label, you will find out that these food contain laboratory concocted food agents as well as large amounts of synthetic that will cause many health issues, disorders and diseases.
Shopping has become harder than ever with these issues. We like certain products and think that these products will help us get healthy, instead the products will only kill us slowly with the level of unhealthy chemicals contents in them. So how do we trust products with any labels at all? We read the labels and think that we are in the hands of those professionals creating the labels, and not marketers who would do anything to get their products sold.
Who are the ones granting the permission anyway? Why can’t all products to be as bland as cigarettes? In which we can see clearly the warning of smoking kills and picture of us if we continue to smoke. This way, we know our risks when we are purchasing them and consuming them and we are responsible for the risks that we take.
To know why these artificial and dangerous substances can enter the products and yet they still have natural flavor label is because they are considered natural. MSG in the food products can get by with many names. Among the names are autolyzed years and hydrolyzed soy protein. All of them are considered natural and at a glance, the names seem like something nutritious instead of dangerous.
And what about those artificial sweeteners, which by the way also pass for natural ingredients? Do you know that this kind of sweetness will cause issues such as headaches and muscle aches? So, the best thing to do is to make everything from scratch and if possible, grow your own vegetables just to be sure.
