Reasons To Go Organic: Avoid Foods With These Chemicals

  • It's no wonder more and more people are going to a greener lifestyle! These chemicals cannot be good for anyone! Here are the final 5 that we stumbled upon.

    6. Carmine

    Also known as cochineal extract and E120, the pigment carmine is used to dye food. Carmine is made from bugs…lots of bugs. Cochineal bugs to be exact, which, when dried in the sun and ground up, make an excellent addition to your pill coatings.

    7. Rennet

    Rennet is an enzyme used in cheese production for separating milk into curds and whey. The reason rennet is so good at manipulating milk is because that’s what it was made to do…only it was meant to do it inside a calf’s stomach.

    8. L-cysteine

    L-cysteine is an amino acid that is commonly used as a meaty flavor enhancer. Unfortunately for the squeamish, the most common source of L-cysteine is poultry feathers.

    9. Propylene Glycol

    Propylene glycol is a common ingredient in anti-freeze bottles. It’s the much-less dangerous cousin to ethylene glycol, and because of that distinction, you can find it in soda, alcohol, and baked goods, where it’s used to add flavor.

    10. Castoreum

    Historically found in vanilla and raspberry flavored foods, castoreum is the liquid produced in a beaver’s anal scent glands. These days it is more commonly used in perfume.

      I find it humorous and disturbing at all the weird things “partially produced by genetic engineering.”
