What's REALLY in Your Food's Natural Flavors?
Uncover the truth behind “natural flavors.” In this episode, Nurse Doza dives deep into what natural flavors really are, how they’re made, and the surprising ways they impact your health. Are they natural, or just a marketing trick? Learn how these additives influence food addiction and your overall well-being.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Natural Flavors Are Not Natural: These additives are processed mixtures that often include synthetic chemicals, despite the “natural” label.
Labeling Loopholes: Companies don’t need FDA approval for flavor ingredients, and the term “natural flavors” hides complex chemical processes.
MSG in Disguise: Many “natural flavors” are simply renamed MSG, which has been linked to adverse reactions and neurological effects.
Addictive by Design: Flavor scientists intentionally create addictive tastes to drive consumer habits and sales.
If Man Made It, Don’t Eat It: Following Jack LaLanne’s advice, opt for whole, unprocessed foods to avoid hidden chemicals and improve your health.
