Natural Flavors
This term is used for a plethora of ingredients added to food to enhance flavor and aroma. While they are derived from plant or animal products, THEY ARE MADE IN A LABORATORY ***and likely less natural than you think. A better option would be whole foods where the flavor and smell come from nothing but real food, herbs and spices.
*** flavor enhancement from aborted babies???

*** flavor enhancement from aborted babies???
First, what is your source here?
Second, no. The enhancement is not FROM aborted babies. The issue with lab-made ingredients is that they are TESTED on aborted fetal tissue.

Right, there's a company called Senomyx that developed flavor enhancers (there are lists of companies that do business with them), and they tested the enhancers on aborted baby cells (to see how the cells would react to the different enhancers), but the enhancers themselves do not contain the cells (at least as far as we're told ... who other than God REALLY knows what all is in our food supply?)

Why thumb down? The future is insects. The article tells you that certain flavor enhancers are made in lab which isn’t natural.

Yep.

For the record, I did not issue the down-thumb. But I think you shouldn't be concerned about those.

I didn’t downthumb you, Viva. You’ll never know who or why. Don’t let it worry you.
My reaction when I saw your title “natural flavours?”, was to think of natural flavours, such as vanilla, cayenne pepper, nutmeg etc. It is so obvious - these flavours are natural.
Nothing wrong with being MADE IN A LABORATORY. You might just as aptly say MADE IN A FACTORY.
A natural flavour is not a flavour enhancer. When I think of flavour enhancer, I think of sodium chloride, common old salt.
Just a few thoughts to put things in perspective. Just stick to natural.

Don't trust "natural flavors" on the packages. Read the ingredients. There are foods/drinks with the words "natural flavors" on the packages, but they contain the UNATURAL asparatame and other cancer-causing artificial sweeteners.

Agreed. The air you breathe is far worse for you.
