let’s talk about natural flavors sometimes people  think that natural flavors mean vegan no they  

don’t let’s differentiate natural flavors versus  artificial flavoring so the question is how do  

they make flavoring taste like something and keep  it natural well they use the essence of something  

they might use a spice some extract fruit fruit  juice veggie veggie juice edible yeast herbs bark  

buds of plants roots of plants leafs of plants  but they also use meat seafood poultry and  

egg that’s right so when you have a plant-based  veggie burger how do you think they get it to  

taste like a burger well this is how they do  it they use animal products i just wanted to  

bring this to your attention if you think  that it’s completely vegan well usually  

it’s not now personally i don’t have a  problem with that because i’m not a vegan  

but what i want to do is to raise awareness  on the difference between natural flavors  

versus artificial flavoring artificial  flavoring has to do with synthetic chemicals  

that could be coming from petroleum or other  chemicals the molecules are similar but  

they’re definitely not the same now here’s  another point that i want to bring up that  

because i produce certain supplements that require  flavoring there’s one thing that a lot of people  

don’t realize when you have dry flavors compared  to liquid you have to use various carriers to make  

them dry okay and the most common carrier is  maltodextrin which is the highest thing on the  

glycemic index it is way higher than pure glucose  okay glucose is like 100 maltodextrin i think is  

like 120 it could be even more so it’s it’s not  keto friendly but they use that in the flavors  

so i just wanted to bring that to your attention  all my products do not use maltodextrin we use a  

different carrier i think it’s called acacia  gum another point the fda doesn’t require  

labels to indicate what’s in their natural  flavoring that’s just another point i want to  

bring up and so you this is why you might see  it on a vegan label when you buy chicken from  

the store if you look on the ingredient a lot of  times it’ll say natural flavoring why do they have  

to add flavoring to the chickens because chicken  is so bland and they have to make it taste like  

drinking so they’re actually going to add chicken  flavoring to chicken and they also do it with pork  

and beef so read your labels so last point i want  to bring up is monosodium glutamate can also be  

disguised as natural flavorings i mean in the  past i remember eating certain foods that had  

natural flavorings but had no msg and the food  just tasted too good and i do know that when i  

consume food with msg first of all i’ll be hungry  in about an hour and a half and i’ll be very very  

thirsty because the amount of sodium glutamate  and that’s what occurred after i ate that food so  

read the labels use judgment and realize that just  because it’s natural doesn’t mean that it’s vegan  

hey before you go real quick i have a course  entitled how to bulletproof your immune system
