The Danger Of Natural Flavors

This week on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m joined by Vani Hari who shares her advice for reading food labels, including the top things we need to look out for, why we need to be weary of fortification, and what it means when a product includes “natural flavors.”

Her drive to change the food system inspired the creation of her new company, Truvani, where she produces real food without added chemicals, products without toxins, and labels without lies. Vani has been profiled in the New York Times and The Atlantic, and has appeared on Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, CNN, The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors, and NPR.

I was just getting ready to cook a steak I purchased at Kroger and turned it over and looked at the ingredients and it says natural flavors. What the hell? Shouldn't the steak be the NATURAL FLAVOR? They are poisoning us.

How do I find the complete episode. All I’m getting is the teasers.

Amen and Hallelujah! Creating addictions.

I avoid it. My child having an annatto seed allergy we have to avoid natural flavor and natural color and vague words like spices .

White claws make me sick maybe it’s the natural flavor

so I guess I need to stop my seltzer consumption with natural flavors. :(
It is the only way I can drink water. Especially during a water fast for 3 days.

What about some thinking natural flavors to be connected--at least some of the time--to H-EE-Kay-2-Ninety-3?

[chadleatherby]

We don't need ozempic to stop hunger, we need to stop eating these addictive processed foods, eat real food people

MSG by any other name is just as crappy.

[CoachMacdaddy]

More likely your cravings are going to be from something bigger in your daily consumption but yeah true

[VictorLatvis]

Stop using natural flavors in everything😜😝
