Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I just wanted to make everyone aware of what carmine is-_ depending on who you talk to it is either a scale insect or a beetle. and it is in almost all of the activia yogurt! yumm! it is a popular food coloring, but can cause serious problems in people who are allergic- I personally do not wish to eat ground up bugs. Perhaps more people will contact those companies that use this additive and tell them to remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 We eat thousands of "bugs" daily in our vegetables and in any processed food that we use. Carmine is an extract from various insects and has been used for years without any significant event. While we don't particularly like using it, it may be safer than if they use an industrial chemical in its place. I would not concern myself with this. Since they are damaging our food in so many other ways I would rather expend my energy trying to stop the degeneration of all our food by geneticall modifying it and having it cross-contaminate our organic crops. This, I am neurotic about!--- On Sun, 2/21/10, thesitesfamily <thesitesfamily wrote: thesitesfamily <thesitesfamily carmine Date: Sunday, February 21, 2010, 9:03 AM I just wanted to make everyone aware of what carmine is-_ depending on who you talk to it is either a scale insect or a beetle. and it is in almost all of the activia yogurt! yumm! it is a popular food coloring, but can cause serious problems in people who are allergic- I personally do not wish to eat ground up bugs.
