Vanilla Ice Cream

Castoreum, a slime that is secreted from a beavers`s anus, is an important ingredient in vanilla ice cream. This chemical has a distinct smell that is similar to that of vanilla, which is why it is harvested as a fragrance. What’s more surprising is that Castoreum can be extracted from a beaver in a fluid-like stream.

  Hi, Donna! Actually, what we meant to say is that the red dye in some yogurts contains a distinct kind of bacteria that’s also found in a certain species of bugs. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Our advice would be to go for simple yogurts rather than the dyed ones, because they contain more chemicals. Have a great day!
