11 disgusting natural ingredients in food


Years before today, the word “natural” actually meant something. It referred to food that came from nature, unaltered by humans. But as money became the primary concern for food companies, quantity preceded over quality. Today, “natural” is simply just a word that’s slapped on products to make them sound more appealing to the masses.

Did you know that natural labels are not actually regulated by anyone? “Natural” products can contain:

GMOs
Toxic pesticides and herbicides
Growth Hormones
Antibiotics
Now, that doesn’t sound too natural. If that isn’t disturbing enough, here are 11 disgusting ingredients in your food, that are usually labeled as natural.

Coal Tar

Processed foods contain many different types of dyes to change their colors to something that is “more appealing” to your eyes. Tatrazine is a dye derived from coal tar. This industrial waste-derived food coloring, also known as yellow #5, has been linked to hyperactivity in children. Coal tar is often used for pavement sealcoats, medicated shampoos and now as an ingredient in our food. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, mixtures that contain more than 5% crude coal are considered a group 1 carcinogens.

Pudge is going to implode

"Natural" is a pretty meaningless word. Everything is natural.

I try not to eat much of anything that I don't make from fresh ingredients myself at home. The food documentaries have opened up my eyes. I'm not necessarily talking about GMOs, just using raw ingredients to make meals instead of shit that comes in boxes or bags.

I didn't see Twizzlers or Snickers bars in the article which are my go to junk foods when I misbehave. Seeing Funyuns was disappointing although I rarely see those here anyway.

this article has nothing to do with GMO. I just thought some of the ingredients were pretty weird. Beaver anal gland secretions and such

Yeah - but it mentions GMO and puts them in the unnatural bracket - and pudge is a shill for monsanto who wont stand for it!

I hear ya dude. After watching the way my mom died, ive come to realize its not when you die but how you die!

I've started my first aquaponic system and so far so good. I fully intend to grow most all of my food, provided I get the systems down. Does not mean I am not going to get some pizza and wings and what not along the way, but I am for sure switching my primary diet to stuff that I know does not have any "extras" in it.

I guess I deserve that for picking on you, güero, although it's not my drug of choice.

I think you are mistaking worrying with giving a shit about what we put in our bodies.
