I read this just as I was about to pour "natural" strawberry syrup over my
waffles. Thanks a LOT, man. :-)

... And now that I know, I'm not sure what to do with it.

Natural Flavors Come From A Beaver’s Butt Why do food companies
list “Natural Flavors” as an ingredient? Probably because it sounds more
appetizing than “Flavor Extracted From A Beaver’s Ass.” For some unknown
reason, the largest food flavoring company in the world recently revealed a
number of revolting secrets to CBS News. Among other things, the story
confirmed that “natural flavors come from nature, but not necessarily from what
the label implies. For example, strawberry and vanilla flavor can come from the
gland in a beaver’s backside.” That gland is filled with Castoreum,
described on Wikipedia as the “yellowish secretion of the castor sac in
combination with the beaver’s urine.” According to a study published in the
International Journal of Toxicology, the substance has been “used extensively
in perfumery and has been added to food as a flavor ingredient for at least 80
years.” The bottom line is, natural flavor can come from anything in
nature, no matter how grotesque. Artificial flavor, meanwhile, refers to a
chemical additive that is 100 percent man-made, from scratch. These food
flavors are designed from the ground up to be irresistible, addicting, and
short-lived, to ensure that once we pop, we can’t stop. You can watch the
stunning report from 60 minutes and learn a whole lot more about the food
flavor industry below.
