Food - Butter Flavouring Linked to Alzheimer's Disease

According to this article at Food Navigator's website, "An artificial food flavoring compound used for its butter-like taste and mouthfeel may be linked with key processes in the development of Alzheimer's disease." How scary is that? The chemical, Diacetyl (DIA), is used in a wide variety of food and drink products giving users a rich, butter flavoring. For example, "buttered" popcorn that you heat in the microwave might be a mixture of chemicals. What is good about this article is that it makes the consumers more aware of the products they eat contains CHEMICALS and not real or natural FLAVORING. One can only imagine all the chemicals we ingest with every meal. As we continue to ingest more and more chemical products, we are causing long-term damage (ie, disesases like Alzheimer's) to our bodies. That is why it is so crucial to investigate what you eat, the ingredients on the label. If you see a long list of chemicals, please reconsider.
