Natural Flavors.........NOT!

"How many times have you seen the words 'natural flavors' on a label and thought, whew, good. Nothing bad there!"

This is the question posed by Lynn Stratton at the website Healthy Holistic Living. Lynn has been checking out Flavor Technology companies and gives us the lowdown on her findings in her article, Is it Real, Or Is it Senomyx? How New Flavor Technology Tinkers with Our Tastebuds. What she has uncovered is truly frightening, especially for those of us already sensitive to food additives. I urge you to read her article. If this kind of technology continues to be used under the guise of providing 'healthy' products, then the future of food is looking grimmer than ever.



With this in mind I just picked up 75lbs of pesticide free tomatoes which I will be canning over the coming days. When you can't trust your food supply, Grandma's ways really are the only alternative!
