How is artificial raspberry flavor from a beaver's butt....

The fuck, dude?

It's true. I've been using artificial raspberry flavoring in water for about a year and now I'm sooo disgusted.

Castoreum comes out of a beaver’s behind – it’s extracted from their anal glands — and is used to make artificial raspberry flavoring

Castoreum is a product of the trapping industry. When beavers are skinned for their fur, these glands are taken out, and are sold after being smoked or sun-dried to prevent putrefaction…

Stop tonging beaber buts ....

... Have a taste of porno actress wine!

Its absolutely bullshit crao thats why. Believe everything you hear. Fucking stupid people. On drugs are we or just really gullible.

note to self, no more freaking artificial raspberry flavored ANYTHING...

its real

Only need 300 lbs a year (must be a strong flavor). Trapping would supply that much - no one is chasing beavers through the woods for their butt.

What is scarier is propylene glycol, which comes from propylene oxide, which comes from propylene which is made by cracking oil or natural gas.

A petroleum product that is subjected to three industrial processes to produce the final product.

This is worse than trans-fats. At least that was food reacted with hydrogen.

We should not have anti-freeze in our food.

Oh dear god...

OP you wrecked Raspberry flavour for ever....

I love really raspberry... I get them when I can but the are expensive....

so I get a lot of the fake tasting stuff... Like the R raspberry Ice tea...

I used to buy normal Ice tea and put 5 or 6 raspberries at the bottom of the glass and pure in some ice tea...

but... switch cause it was less expensive... just to buy the other.....flavoured Ice tea...


that makes me sad that I have been drinking the anal gland of a beaver...

too late for me

"OP you wrecked Raspberry flavour for ever...."

i was drinking a raspberry arizona tea......

^^^Says the Canadian and who is doing all this beaver anal probing? Canadians! Who is the world leader in Moose raping? Canadians!

i never like raspberry.

I can't see why you're afraid of natural beaver secretions when there are so many chemistry experiments in your food...

You do know aspartame is genetically modified e-coli poop?

Oh damn it I just had a Beaver Butt flavored Poop-Tart

All those artificial flavorings are just awful. Grape, strawberry, banana...yuk.

this is a shity thread

Also include artificial vanilla to your no can do list.

Lick it with gusto...

Ewww! I may never eat again!

Here's a website with some more nasty food-additives...

it may have ruined artificial raspberry for you, but know its also used in strawberry flavorings and some vanilla flavorings. it should also be noted that castoreum is a NATURAL flavor. so dont think you can eat something naturally flavored and its NOT gonna have beaver butt in it, or something equally as disgusting. the only way to avoid it is to eat foods labled with 'real' ingredients, or know for sure what you're eating by growing and making it yourself.

I was disgusted when I found out as well. It was on one of our game shows here called "Cash Cab" that I found out about the raspberry flavouring....

Also, about the aspartame being ecoli poop (that I've heard different stories true & untrue)...

Can you imagine now though, I have a brand new box of Crystal Light in my cupboard that I bought BEFORE finding out about this stuf.... raspberry flavoured with aspartame.... trying to figure out "Do I use it up as I have with all the other boxes? to save $ in not throwing it out? OR do I just throw it out?" (Big box too with 30 individual servings)

EEEEEKKKKKK !!!
