This is a tricky question, we want to
believe that Natural flavors are simply Natural flavors but the truth be told there isn't much of a difference between artificial
flavors and natural flavors except in the way it is produced.
For example Amyl acetate provides the
dominant role in Banana Flavor (artificial ingredient). When it is distilled FROM bananas with a solvent, amyl acetate
is a "Natural Ingredient".
A Natural flavor isn't necessarily more
healthful than an artificial one. Both Natural and Artificial flavors are manufactured at the same chemical plants,
Mother Nature? I don't think so!
So Buyer beware when shopping ....Natural
Flavors are also CHEMICALS and sometimes go through twice as much chemical processing than artificial flavors.
All those healthy vitamins that say Natural Flavors, aren't so natural!
Pick and choose your battles my friend!!!
