Interesting article on Yahoo this morning

Hi All! I am new to clean eating and am finding it SO interesting and eye opening (and also kinda scary, the more you learn what you eat!) I came across this article this morning and wanted to share!

    WHAT IT IS: Beaver anal gland juice. Really. Beavers combine it with their urine to mark their territory.
    FOUND IN: Vanilla or raspberry flavoring in processed foods, labeled only as “natural flavoring.”
    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: It’s beaver anal gland juice.

    The most disturbing bit of information in the aforementioned article. I don't even want to know what they do to those poor beavers to get it, let alone envision consuming it. SUPER EWWWWWWWWWWWW!
