Flavors = specific molecules or chemicals, the two words are interchangeable here, that are present in the food for taste and don't really have any nutritional benefits. These are present in all foods everywhere. Example: whenever you eat an apple (eat the apple) even freshly pulled off the tree, there are specific chemicals that make an apple taste like an apple. We'll call this apple taste the apple chemical. This apple chemical has a specific molecular structure that can be replicated in 3 major ways 1. You can get the apple chemical from the apple itself 2. You can get a different chemical from a plant or an animal product, rearrange it in a lab, and create the apple chemical 3. You can synthesize the apple chemical from scratch in a lab using a combination of different chemicals By definition, a natural flavor is any flavoring chemical that is derived from a plant or animal product and an artificial flavor is any flavoring chemical that is synthesized from scratch in a lab. Natural flavor does NOT mean that the flavor you're tasting came from the thing its supposed to taste like. Again back to our apple example, if you're eating something that tastes like an apple, but doesn't actually have any apple products in it, there's a very high chance that the "natural" flavors you taste don't actually come from apples themselves. Believe it or not, natural flavor is now the 4th most common ingredient in prepared foods behind water, salt and sugar. There are two major problems with natural flavors: 1. No scientific data has studied the efficacy on natural flavors because each natural flavor can have hundreds of different chemicals in each product, so it's difficult to standardized and have controlled studies comparing health outcomes for them 2. The problem with natural and/or artificial flavors is the same problem with artificial sweeteners, that is they trick your brain into craving more of the actual flavor because of its potency. This can lead you to eat more than you originally intended So, natural flavors claiming to be healthier is FALSE My name is Mitch. I'm a recent medical school graduate from the USA and welcome to the channel all about the science of wellness & medicine. Each week I'll be releasing a video explaining the science of a specific topic of wellness & medicine. These include topics such as: diet, sleep, meditation, productivity techniques, exercise, mental health, medical conditions, and lab/imaging testing just to name a few!
