so we have this book in my house-“uncle john’s curiously compelling bathroom reader”-& i read through most of it. not in the bathroom, if you’re wondering. no. i was reading it because it’s just a bunch of random information & shit. & i came across some things. so ill just post them up at various times of the day today :]
first let’s start with WHAT’S IN YOUR….
bread & bread products (pizza, bagels, pastries, etc.): l-cystine, an amino acid that adds the strechiness to the dough. made from feathers, cow horn, petroleum & sometimes human hair because human hair is the cheapest source. a few factories in china buy hair from the poor to make the product.
jelly beans: the hard shiny surface is shellac or…insect secretions. the insects (laccifer lacca) live in trees, the secretions coat the branches. the branches are cut & the shellac is refined & sometimes also use in processing coffee beans.
skin cream: contains afterbirth-human placenta. said to “rejuvinate” skin & get rid of wrinkles. cosmetic makers have deals with hospitals.
gum: contains castoreum to enhance flavor. it is produced in the anal glands of beavers. also used in perfumes & incense.
toothpaste: dicalcium phosphate- from bones of animals that chew their cud; cattle, sheep, goats
beer & wine: many european/some american producers use isinglass to speed fining, or clarification, process. made by cleaning & drying bladders of fish; sturgeon, cod, hake. also used in glue & cement.
perfume: shatole-a fixative that makes the ingredients stick to skin & last longer. white crystalline organic compound in beets, coal tar &…..feces. it’s what gives poop it’s distinctive smell.
disssssssgusting? sho is. changing my choices in what to use & what not to use? no.
