KMUD episode about it was too short. Let's extend the list.
Mentioned in the episode:
Glutamate glue.
Carrageen, agar agar, gum arabic.
Ascorbic and citric acid made using lead tanks for sulfuric acid.
Vegetarian renet. -
Sulfites. Metabisulfite, bisulfite. I noticed it added to dry fruits and gelatin (was really bummed about this one)
-
Brominated vegetable oil- It is used in sports drinks and sodas as an emulsifier—a substance that helps blend liquids that don’t otherwise blend easily, such as oil and water. (According to the FDA, it keeps citrus flavorings from separating and floating to the top of the beverage.) It has been linked to neurological problems; thyroid, heart and liver problems; and behavioral, developmental, and reproductive issues.
