I used to never care about ingredient lists. I used to believe that everybody that makes food, has a conscience. But these days, with the viral videos of fake meat, coloured fruits and vegetables and even fake rice, I'm getting very paranoid.
So I thought maybe drinks will be spared. And I started liking almond milk, that everytime woolies or coles have a brand on half price, I will definitely choose that brand. That is until I read about Carrageenan and Gellan Gum. Hmm. 2 new ingredients that I never once bothered.
And surprise, almost all the almond milks that I have consumed, has either of these ingredients. To tell you the truth, I don't think it has a very serious impact on me. Hmm unless the serious eczema condition is due to it because that's something I been battling for a few months which I find it odd too. Odd that it has affected more areas than it used to affect. I attributed it to old age i.e. genetics change.
These 2 ingredients, especially carrageenan, usually affect those with indigestion though. Maybe the thought of IBS reminded me of someone, which lead me to write this post. To remind that in this world, people are putting more and more artificial ingredients in our food, and we should stop eating and drinking blindly.
That's all I can do for now. Other than drinking only Pureharvest almond milk which is the only one I trust for now but rarely goes on specials. Sigh.
P/S: I find it amusing that when I add and you accept, then why am I removed afterwards. Puzzling thoughts.
PP/S: And I finally used up the gargle solution from last year and yet my throat is still sore. Oh well, at least one less item to keep.
