10 Everyday Foods Made With Disgusting Ingredients

There was an episode of Jamie Oliver's Food Kitchen that showed kids what their ice cream sundae was comprised of. Human hair should not be an ingredient.
 
I am not sure if some of those are true. I know some food coloring that does not come from crushed insects and most sugar come from sugarcane.

Not true anymore ... beet sugar has taken the lead.
Cane was once the dominant sugar in U.S. markets, but within the last few years beet has taken the lead. Beet now accounts for 55 percent of the 10 million tons of refined sugar consumed in the country each year.

I wasn't suprised by any of them until I had gotten to the end. "Always remember that this is what that 'meat' is."... it looks like a giant tube of toothpaste! The worst part is, is that I will still eat all the food discussed in the article.
 
Real or just a joke - if only you knew what you were really eating every day. I try not to think about it. Off to McDonald's for lunch. :)
 
I would have to validate the information about the sugar. I do know that the red dye used in foods comes from an insect and most of that information is true. Jello is definately bad for you, any kind of gelatin that is Jello brand is made from animals and has pig parts in it. There is vegetable based gelatin however and is healthy for you. Vitamins made with gel (gelatin) caps is made from pig parts. It's true, there is just a lot of nasty stuff people put into their bodies without knowing. When Jack Lalane was alive he used to say, Don't eat anything man makes. And it's very true.
 
This is not really accurate. The castoreum used in food does not include urine. The mixed stuff is used by the beavers to mark territory, not to flavor your food. Anything red or pink is not made with carmine unless it says carmine or natural color. Otherwise, it is artificial. And remember, in many countries and cultures people eat insects... And cellulose is not "basically sawdust"-that is just false. Cellulose can be obtained from sawdust, as it can from any green plant (a tree is a plant). But they don't put sawdust in your cheese! And the spelling errors tell me this is not written by the most credible source...
