What's In The Food You Eat?

Interview with Mike Adams Editor of www.NaturalNews.com

Mike Carruthers:
The food you eat isn’t always what you think it is, for example the artificial red color used in many yogurts, ice cream and candy is something called carmine.

Mike Adams:
And carmine is made from crushed red beetles and it sounds like an innocent color but it’s actually crushed insects.
 

Mike Adams Editor of NaturalNews.com, says it isn’t necessarily harmful or dangerous it’s just a little gross as is the confectioners glaze that’s often put on pills and candy.

A lot of people don’t know that confectioner’s glaze is really made from an Asian beetle. It’s made form a secretion of what’s called the lac bug.

Again there’s no reason to think it’s dangerous of harmful but it is pretty interesting. What might be dangerous is microwave popcorn.

There’s a chemical found in microwave popcorn, it’s called diacetyl. And it’s been in the news over the last several years because the workers who are packaging this microwave popcorn they are coming down with lung disease and it’s becoming known as popcorn lung.

We could only find one case of a person who may have gotten popcorn lung from eating it and this guy claimed to eat 2 bags of microwave popcorn every day. But just to be safe…

I would not recommend that people actually buy and consume microwavable popcorn just go with natural popcorn.
