Surprised?

Do any of you make your own ice cream?

"The list of additives in ice-cream sounds like a science project. Many nutritionists now refer to ice-cream as 'the garbage dump food'. These are some additives found in commercially produced ice-cream:

Piperonal - used in place of vanilla - is a chemical used to treat lice.

Diethyl glucol - a cheap chemical used as an emulsifier instead of eggs - is used in antifreeze and paint removers.

Butyraldehyde - used in nut-flavored ice-cream - is one of the ingredients in rubber cement.

Amyl acetate - used for banana flavor - is also an oil paint solvent.

Ethyl acetatee - used for pineapple flavor - is also used as a cleaner for leather and textiles.

Aldehyde C17 - flavors cherry ice-cream - an inflammable liquid used in aniline dyes, plastic and rubber.

The additives in many modern foods combine to form a lethal cocktail. Man is not designed to consume inorganic foodstuffs and the increased consumption of chemical compounds leaves toxic waste in the cells. If we continue at this rate we will soon be positively non-biodegradable."
