The Daily Skunk

If you are a label reader like myself, you have definitely come across an ingredient listed as “natural flavor”.

At first glance most wouldn’t even think twice about this, I didn’t, until it dawned on me one day how odd it was to see that listed as an ingredient… I mean doesn’t most anything have a natural flavor?

Well, turns out natural doesn’t mean natural in this case. No it isn’t some concentration of the real thing added to enhance the flavor. It is much more chemically altered than that.

Here is an excerpt from the US federal code on natural flavors:

“the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or any other edible portions of a plant, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose primary function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. ^[3]“

Now, I realise that there is nothing within that which seems to be sinister… or is there?  That’s the thing, nobody but the manufactorer or owner of the product being natural flavorized really knows and most of them aren’t as simple as that definition implies.

And that is  because the flavors are patented, which also means they do not have to be listed as anything other than natural flavors.

Now I’m not necessarily trying to suggest that all of these are bad for us, but on the same note do you think any of them are actually good for us?

Something tells me that there is no positive benefit to consumption of these flavors and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that many have some sort of negative health impact if consumed in large amounts over long periods of time.

For example… Coca Cola, how do you think they get that flavor in there - do you think it is a pure concotion of some organic products boiled down into some refreshing syrup and then mixed with water and carbonation?  Or Mountain Dew, Squirt, Pepsi, 7 up, etc. And most people who drink these beverages drink multiple cans per day… even though the amount used is very small, what does that actually mean.

Anyway, on with the conspiracy theories.

Instead of copying the article and being branded a plagarizer, I am leaving you with some thoughts and a link.

If this article doesn’t shed some light on the crux of the matter, I don’t think you will ever understand anything, except that your children’s children will also live off the federal teat and steal Yu-Gi-Oh cards from the pedophile-congregation-area at Hastings.

If Israel is to continue concessions to terrorists, they will cease to exist.  If the Muslim world is going to come to the 21st century, they must forgive all centuries previous and live in the current times.  They need not abandon beliefs, but they must stop the terrorists who call themselves Muslim, or risk being devalued by the terrorists’ actions.
