This is useful but…why can’t ppl just look at a label or the ingredient list on the back?Cannonpointer » 19 Nov 2024, 5:21 pm » wrote: ↑ YUKA.
You just scan the bar code of any product you are thinking of buying, and YUKA will tell you every poison in that product.
You don't just use the "score" of the product. For example, no corn chip or potato chip will have a great score, since they're loaded with fat and salt. But you knew that before you scanned it. What you are wanting to know is whether the chips have deadly additives - many do. If it says Frito, it does.
So you get a smidge more granular by pushing a button and looking at the additive count, and then you get more granular still by looking at the individual additives and their risk factors.
It sounds daunting, but it takes only seconds to confirm a good product, and a few seconds more to find out whether the additives are literally carcinogenic.
YUKA. For the health and safety advice that your captive government agencies no longer enforce or provide.

You can get duck butter cheaper by simply buying a duck from a farmer, and rendering the fat from its skin. You'll get over a cup of fat that way. And you still get a nice roasted duck.

That would be stupid. Big Ag has litigated the right to obscure the labels. You will never find a label with "MSG" on it - but you WILL find products with MSG in them. The labels are designed to obscure what is in the product - not elucidate it. \\
No, it's a go **** yourself thread.

You think it's that easy?
What about milk? Heavy cream? Half and half?
You think carrageenan is safe? It isn't. But the FDA lets it in - and most major dairies use it to thicken their cream and assist it in thickening up, which allows them to stretch their product with more milk. Most would assume it is a harmless gum. The app educates consumers in the store, on the spot.
Carrageenan is a natural, sulfated polysaccharide extracted from red seaweeds that's used in many products as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, and gelling agent:Carrageenan is also known as carrageen moss, Irish moss, and carraigin.
- Food: Found in chocolate milk, processed deli meats, vegan gelatin, desserts, ice cream, cream, milkshakes, yogurts, salad dressings, sweetened condensed milks, beer, and more
- Pharmaceuticals: Used as an inactive excipient in pills and tablets
- Cosmetics: Used as a thickener in shampoo and cosmetic creams
- Other: Used in toothpaste, air freshener gels, shoe polish, fire fighting foam, and more
Some concerns about the safety of carrageenan include:
- Inflammation: Carrageenan can activate the innate immune pathways of inflammation.
- Digestive problems: Carrageenan may cause bloating and irritable bowel disease (IBD).
- Allergic reactions: Some people may be allergic to carrageenan.
- Bleeding: Carrageenan might increase the risk for bleeding during surgical procedures.
- Ulcerative colitis: Carrageenan might increase the risk of relapse in people with ulcerative colitis.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved carrageenan for use, but some scientists believe it can be harmful.
I have hens, so I produce my own eggs. My dairy comes from a local farmer. My meats are mostly from local farmers. My veggies are mostly organic - I abide by the dirty dozen and the clean fifteen.Majik » 21 Nov 2024, 10:39 am » wrote: ↑ I stopped eating all processed food about 18 years ago.
When I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis ....
The doctor said it was due to an improper diet ....
but I was eating healthy ....
And than a friend of my wife whom is an Asian born Naturopath....told us the only safe food left on the planet to consume is what YOU raise and grow Yourselves ....
and since then We raise and grow all of our own food ...
From Meat and Poultry to fruits and vegetables and 3 Years ago we started making our own cheeses which without additives or preservatives lasts only 4-5 days....
and I have been healthy ever since....
