Food Additives

I wonder if these and like ingredients is why so many people are suffering with disease such as arthritis and cancer!

Once my mother was eating walnut ice cream, and I was telling her about how some ice cream contains antifreeze. When I checked the ingredients I was shocked! There were NO walnuts listed… but it contained walnut chunks… or did it? Please read on.

Ingredients of many COMMERCIAL ICE CREAMS:
· Dietheyl Glycol: Used instead of eggs… it is an antifreeze and paint remover
· Ethyl Acetate: Used in place of pineapple… it is a cleaner for leather and textiles
· Piperonal: Used in place of vanilla…it is a lice killer
· Amyl Acetate: Used for banana flavor… an oil paint solvent
· Benzyl Acetate: Used for strawberry flavor… a solvent.

And the source of my mother’s walnuts… Butyraldehyde: Used instead of nuts, it is one of the ingredients of rubber cement.

There are over 3,000 additives that are used in the manufacture of the food we eat. Some estimates of individual consumption are as high as five pounds of chemicals per year!

The department of Consumer Affairs receives many letters and calls from consumers who are concerned about these additives. Even experts cannot agree on the safety of or necessity of all these chemicals.

It is my solemn belief that all chemicals are unnatural and the less we consume the better.
