My mom showed us something that was very interesting on 60 Minutes today. It was all about flavorings in foods. How they make it so people will be addicted to it, how to make the perfect mixture so it will smell and taste good, etc. Anyway, I learned a fact that will either make you say, "Awesome!" (if you happen to like gross things) or vomit (if you have a queasy stomach).
Some strawberry and vanilla flavoring have "all natural flavors". What they don't tell you is what's so natural about them. You see "natural flavors" on a strawberry pop-tart box or vanilla wafers and think "Oh yeah, they actually use strawberries and vanilla". In some cases that's true, in others that's not.
I learned that some "natural" strawberry and vanilla flavors are made from the glands of a beaver's backside. I said it. Feel free to tell all of your friends or vomit. Goodbye! :D
I don't know what to say to this. How about EWWWWWWWWWWW! XD That's pretty dang disgusting. Apparently they use human hair in some breads as a "dough enhancer"(that's what they say on the side of the bag). I have yet to look for this, but it came from a pretty good source. Hair apparently has amino acids that are pretty good for you once ingested, but it's still gross.
