    Do you know that naturally brewed coffee contains over 700 chemicals, banana over 300 chemicals. All foods contain chemicals that provide flavor. When you grill or fry meat you develop some unhealthy chemicals, but since they are natural, there is no concern. These naturally occurring chemicals provide the volatile flavor in these products. The chemicals found in industry flavors are all approved by the FDA, and are found in foods. We eat thousands of chemicals every day. The chemicals in industry flavors are self limited by the strength of the chemical, as they are in nature.

    […] Comment #1: I’m wondering if it would be possible to make these from juice or juice concentrate rather than ‘flavours’? Some of those flavours, even ‘natural’ flavours are quite gross. I would love to see a recipe with just juice.http://elizabethyarnell.com/effortlesseating/2010/02/how-natural-are-natural-flavors/ […]

    I not to mention my guys appeared to be reading through the best information located on your web site and so before long developed a terrible feeling I had not expressed respect to the website owner for those techniques. These men had been for that reason passionate to learn them and have very much been having fun with those things. Appreciation for genuinely so thoughtful as well as for going for variety of outstanding tips most people are really wanting to be informed on. My very own honest regret for not saying thanks to you sooner.

    To be clear: This is a list of potential artificial flavors, not natural flavors.

    However, a list of “natural flavors” would be depressing as well.

    How did Nonna get a list of ‘natural flavors’?

    That is one of the hardest lists to pry out of the hands of a food producer. I know first hand.

    You may already know this but, food additives such as MSG can BY LAW be put into any ‘processed food’ by cutting that additive by 10% (maybe less) with anything ie. table salt or lab created chemical and, vola! It’s no longer MSG and it can safely hind under the misleading ‘natural’ flavoring labeling.

    Hi,

    What I am interested is these two Sugar Substitute products, “Swerve” and “Truvia”.
    Both these two Sugar Substitutes have listed in their ingredients “NATURAL FLAVORS” What does that mean? After Reading your article about “Natural Flavors” I am concerned about using these two products. They both claim to be healthy. “Swerve” is even created by a Doctor to help diabetics. How do I go about finding out what Natural Flavors means in these two products. I have written and e-mail to one of these companies, but have not received an answer yet. Anyway, Thank you for your posting. Maybe you could do some research into these two sugars. to give consumers a heads up.
    Thanks again for your website!

[…] When I read the labels I see some great electrolytes like magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium, but I also find artificial sugars like Aspartame, Sucralose, and High Fructose Corn Syrup; artificial dyes (show me where florescent orange appears in nature!); caffeine; and “natural flavors” (Remember the frightening list of ingredients that make up “natural flavors”?).
