can somone tell me the food additives that are derived from meat? i want to know so that when i start to look at labels i know what to avoid. is it more expensive or less expensive than a diet with meat? thanx if u can help me.
Always watch out for geletin!!! It can be hidden in some foods that you don't expect (cereals for example, like frosted mini wheats). If you eat cheese, don't eat cheeses with rennet and make sure they have microbial enzymes, not animal enzymes. As far as the vitamins added to foods go, I'm not really sure about those.... Maybe do a google search for further help you out.
milk derived: casein, whey, lactic acid, skim milk powder...etc
meat derived: rennet, gelatin, mono- and di-glycerides, tallow, lard, "natural flavors," shortening, etc
Sodium Casienate= milk derived. Urea= Urine and other bodily fluids, found in baked goods, pretzels. Whey

This was actually posted in another topic. :P It takes a while, but eventually it becomes second nature to read product labels. Good luck!

Eeeew.
thanx. didnt think to do a search this morning cuz i was soo tired from being up for over 12 hrs. 12 hrs is usually my limit but im trying to change my sleeping schedule so im up during the day instead of the night. always a battle with me. i didnt know pee was a ingredient in stuff til i read a pp reply. i also found out that some companies use human hair in thier stuff (dont know what companies) and that ingredient is called cysteine/cystine. i got that info from http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/faqingredients.htm#b-12 found this with a search i did earlier today. the pee and human hair is gross.
