I couldn't get the link to load, but those who eat bugs will not live through the parisites for long, does no one pay attention.
 
heard today that yoplait yogurt, has been adding carmine. a guy who ate yoplait for years recently started feeling ill after eating some. turns out he had a shellfish allergy and the carmine ingredient added--i think fior color---is made from bugs that share somechemical as shellfish and the man was having an allergic reaction. he was eating the strawberry.

label does not mention this. it does say carmine on some had my daughter look it up for me. yup. its there. im glad i started making my own yogurt with my crockpot years ago. its alot easier than you think.


The red dye is used in a range of food and cosmetic products, including:
  • Candy
  • Ice cream
  • Children’s snacks
  • Cake mix
  • Juices
  • Burgers
  • Sausages
  • Yogurt
  • Lip sticks
  • Eyeshadows
  • Shampoos
  • Lotions
  • Pill coatings

Indigo carmine is another type of dye that’s also made with carminic acid, but it does not derive from cochineal insects.


Carmine red dye is found in some processed and packaged foods, cosmetics, and body products. In foods, it is listed on the ingredient label as:
  • Carmine
  • Cochineal
  • Cochineal extract
  • Carminic acid
  • Natural Red 4
  • Crimson lake
  • Carmine lake

the bugs are already in some foods but given boring names so people wont know.

getting creepy out there

They have forced the manufacturers to have no other option:(.
They get what they scream for. :mad:
