Some chemicals are good, even if they have a confusing name. That being said natural flavors is such a catch all, I avoid those products... my favorite is castoreum... tastes like vanilla, secreted from the castor glands around a beaver's anus. Natural vanilla flavor.
Lol, thanks for the heads up on the beaver butt! Oh how they must laugh about what they get us to ingest.
To be fair, if you trust what I read on kikepedia, 300lbs are used in food per year, as opposed to 2.6 million lbs of vanilla bean extract. So again, according to them, it's mostly used in a variety of swedish schnapps and maybe a few other products.
Still that’s a lot of beaver butt.
