Digest Number 784

[Guest guest]

I was vegetarian when I discovered that the Vitamin D (aka lanolin) in 8th

Continent was from wool fat...I thought that was SO disgusting and didn't seem

very vegetarian to me so I immediately stopped using it. I understand that

vegetarians eat and use animal by-products but I myself just could not deal with

the idea of taking in a by-product of a sheep. When I went vegetarian the only

by-product I used was cheese. No milk as a drink or in cooking...no eggs...no

leather...silk..wool....etc. Guess I was just in a different mindset so I

apologize for stating that 8th Continent is not vegetarian when I guess in the

general sense it is, it is just not vegan.

 

 

Did that clear it up for you?

Re: 8TH Continent Soymilk

 

If that were the case, then it could be vegetarian- just not vegan. However, if

that were the case, wouldn't that lanolin be listed in the ingredient list? It's

not on that list- unless it's under " natural and artificial flavors. "

 

Lanolin has a rather strong smell, though- it would be hard to hide. WHile 8th

continent does taste too beany for me, it doesn't taste or smell woolly.

8th Continent, is not vegetarian as it contains lanolin from sheep. Can't

remember where I read it, Vegetarian Times maybe?
