The Ahh OR Ah-Ha in Ice Cream


Thanks to this informative article from Waymarks Publications we shall have a better understanding of the ahh or ah-ha in ice cream. Thanks to Rakka for the image.

Ice Cream, Anyone?

The average American consumes 24 quarts of ice cream every year. He thinks he is only eating cream, sugar, and vanilla. But he is actually putting a lot of very strange things into his body.

There are over 1,400 flavorings, stabilizers, colors, and emulsifiers available to the commercial producer of ice cream.

Unfortunately, ice cream manufacturers are not required by law to list the additives used in making their product. As a result, most ice creams are synthetic from start to finish.

Ice cream makers are giving us a wide variety of delicious flavors, but are they fit to eat?

There is hardly any ice cream flavor that does not have a chemical substitute. Some of the artificial flavors are potent poisons which are powerful enough to cause liver, kidney, and heart disease.

Some ice creams contain natural flavorings; some contain a mixture of natural and artificial flavors, and some are entirely artificially flavored. The artificial flavors are favored by the manufacturers because, since they cost less, the profit is increased.

For example, consider "vanilla": Category I is commercial vanilla flavoring made entirely of vanilla. Category II is a combination of natural and artificial flavors; and the package may read, "vanilla flavored." Category III is entirely artificial; and the label may read, "artificially flavored vanilla."

What is in artificial vanilla flavoring? It is peperonal or vanillin. Peperonal is a chemical used to kill lice. Vanillin is made from the wastes of wood pulp and has no relationship to the vanilla bean.

Natural vanilla (which is pureed vanilla beans or vanilla extract) is much more expensive than artificial vanilla. Today it is only rarely found in the ice cream you buy at the store.

Then there is strawberry flavor. How nice fresh, ripe strawberries taste! But in your dish of "strawberry" ice cream, you will find benzyl acetatea synthetic chemical that tastes like strawberries.

According to the Merck Index, an encyclopedia for chemists, this substance is extremely dangerous and can cause vomiting and diarrhea. It is a nitrate solvent.

Would you rather have pineapple flavoring in your ice cream? Ethyl acetate is used to give that flavor. It can cause liver, kidney, and heart damage. It is also used as a cleaner for leather and textiles. Its vapors have been known to cause chronic lung, liver, and heart damage.

What about banana flavoring? It is amylbutyrate, which is also used as an oil paint solvent.

Cherries anyone? Aldehydec 17 is used to provide the cherry flavor in your ice cream. This is an inflammable liquid which is used as aniline dyes, and the manufacture of plastic and rubber.

Perhaps nuts is what you want in your ice cream? Butraldehyde is the chemical used to provide the nut flavoring in ice cream. It is one of the ingredients in rubber cement.

The problem is that nearly all our artificial food flavors and food colorscome from coal tar! This is a substance in coal and also petroleum. We would never think of putting coal or gasoline in our bodies; yet that is what is put into all the processed food which contains, what the label calls"pure food colors" or "artificial flavorings." Coal tar is notorious as a causative agent in producing cancers of the stomach, bowel, kidney, liver, and other organs.

Back in the old days, fresh eggs would be added to ice cream as an emulsifier, to make it more textured. Today diethyl glycol is used instead. This is the same chemical used in antifreeze and paint removers. Like all the other chemicals, it is dangerous. You do not want even small amounts of these chemicals in your body. According to the Merck Index, it is sufficiently toxic to cause liver and kidney damage.

Stabilizers make ice cream smooth; and emulsifiers make it stiff, so it can retain air. Here are some of the chemicals used to stabilize and emulsify the ice cream you eat:

Propylene glycol (also used in antifreeze), glycerin, sodium carboxyl methylcellulose, monoglycerides, diglycerides, disodium phosphates, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, polysorbate 80, and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.

Government regulations permit all these things to be placed in your ice cream.

Last but not least, ice cream makers pump air into the product. Homemade ice cream weighs 7 to 8 pounds per gallon. Store-bought ice cream weighs 4.5 pounds or less. So you are paying a lot for a smaller amount of cream; but you are still getting a heavy dose of chemical additives. Is it really worth it?

The next time you are tempted by a nice-looking banana split, think of it as a mixture of oil and nitrate solvent, antifreeze, and lice killer.

The Masterful Deception is in Full Swing!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVdtExDYc-k The masterful deception spoken of in prophecy is in full swing. If you know that you are not right with the Father of creation, I suggest you drop to your knees right now and let Him know you love Him. Soon will be the pronouncement, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." Rev. 22:11

How to be Like Jesus

How to be Like Jesus

DA 302 “If the eye is kept fixed on Christ, the work of the Spirit ceases not until the soul is conformed to His image.”

ED 18 “As the perfection of His character is dwelt upon, the soul is re-created in the image of God.”

SC 70 “It is by loving Him, copying Him, depending wholly upon Him, that you are to be transformed into His likeness.”

MH 500,501 “Christ gave no stinted service. He did not measure His work by hours. His time, His heart, His soul and strength, were given to labor for the benefit of humanity...His love for man led Him to welcome every indignity, and suffer every abuse.”

CT 262 “The Saviour’s entire life was characterized by disinterested benevolence and the beauty of holiness. He is our pattern of goodness...He showed consistency without obstinacy, benevolence without weakness, tenderness and sympathy without sentimentalism. He was highly social, yet He possessed a reserve that discouraged any familiarity. His temperance never led to bigotry or austerity.”

TMK 155 “The Christian life does not consist merely in the exercise of meekness, patience, humility, and kindness. One may possess these precious & amiable traits and yet be nerveless and spiritless and almost useless...

(DA 353 “He fearlessly denounced hypocrisy, unbelief, and iniquity, but tears were in His voice as He uttered His scathing rebukes.”)

TMK 155 “Jesus was our example in all things…Loving words fell from His lips to comfort, encourage, & bless....Jesus was a silent and unselfish worker. He did not seek fame, riches, or applause, neither did He consult His own ease and pleasure. ...He did not shirk care and responsibility.”

TMK 156 “Christ never flattered. He never deceived or defrauded, never changed His course of straightforward uprightness to obtain favor or applause. He ever expressed the truth. The law of kindness was in His lips, and there was no guile in His mouth...Those who follow Christ will be continually looking into the perfect law of liberty, and through the grace given them by Christ, will fashion the character according to the divine requirements.”

TMK 157 Remember, “repetition of acts form habits, and habits, character.”

DA 43 “He shunned all outward display...Greatness can never save a soul.”

DA 68 “He manifested a patience that nothing could disturb, and a truthfulness that would never sacrifice integrity. In principle firm as a rock, His life revealed the grace of unselfish courtesy.”

DA 70 “He was possessed of one purpose; He lived to bless others.”

DA 789 “The grave clothes were not thrown heedlessly aside, but carefully folded…In His sight, who guides alike the star and the atom, there is nothing unimportant. Order and perfection are seen in His work.

DA 800 “Christ never forces His company upon anyone.”

DA 815 “The Saviour’s manner with Peter taught his brethren to meet the transgressor with patience, sympathy, and forgiving love.”

DA 72 “In His industrious life there were no idle moments...He closed the door to the tempter. Neither gain nor pleasure, applause nor censure, could induce Him to consent to a wrong act…He was perfect as a workman, as He was perfect in character...He taught that it is our duty to be industrious, that our work should be thorough.”

DA 73 “Jesus carried into His labor cheerfulness and tact...He held communion with heaven in song…seemed to banish the evil angels.”

DA 85 “In every gentle and submissive way Jesus tried to please others.”

DA 87 “He often denied Himself food in order to relieve the needy.”

DA 91 “He passed by no human being as worthless, but sought to save.”

DA 92 “He would not betray the secrets…poured into His sympathizing ear.”

DA 147 Christ taught that the “claims of God are paramount...”

DA 181 We must consent to bring into captivity every thought to Christ.

DA 190 “To minister to a soul hungering...was a refreshment to Him.”

DA 198 “The Saviour cannot withdraw from the soul that clings to Him, pleading its great need.”

DA 208 “He made no plans for Himself. He accepted God’s plans for Him.”

DA 243 “He was the embodiment of purity…of spotless integrity.”

DA 253 “His language was pure, refined, & clear as a running stream.”

DA 254 “He was earnest, rather than vehement.”

DA 260 “In His life no self—assertion mingled.”

DA 261 “In that life no noisy disputation, no ostentatious worship, no act to gain applause, was ever witnessed. Christ was hid in God...”

DA 330 “In the heart of Christ...was perfect peace. He was never elated by applause, nor dejected by censure or disappointment. Amid the greatest opposition & the most cruel treatment, He was still of good courage.”

DA 337 “He...who had met Satan & conquered him did not flee before these demons, but cast them out.”

DA 353 “He exercised the greatest tact…He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness.”

DA 356 “Jesus...never purchased peace by compromise…Jesus assures His disciples of God’s sympathy...Not a sigh is breathed, not a pain felt, not a grief pierces the soul, but the throb vibrates to the Father.”

DA 363 “As a man Christ supplicated the throne of God till His humanity was charged with a heavenly current that should connect humanity with divinity...His experience is to be ours…When every other voice is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God…The soul that is thus refreshed will be surrounded with an atmosphere of light and peace.”

DA 434 “Christ taught them not to place themselves needlessly in antagonism to established order…avoid controversy whenever possible.”

DA 451 “Christ was not to be presumptuous, not to rush into danger, not to hasten a crisis...He must wait patiently.”

DA 488 “Though Christ had just been repulsed… His love toward them was unchanged.”

DA 515 “In all His intercourse with rude and violent men He did not use one unkind or discourteous expression…He spoke as one having authority.”

DA 533 “He weeps with those who weep, rejoices with those who rejoice.”

DA 594 “It was not Christ’s purpose to humiliate His opponents.”

DA 619 “His indignation was directed against the hypocrisy…but He spoke no words of retaliation. He had a holy wrath...but He manifested no irritated temper.”

DA 645 “Jesus alone could read his [Judas’s] secret. Yet He did not expose him.”

DA 693 “His decision is made. He will save man at any cost to Himself.”

DA 704 “He [Caiphas] was struck with admiration for His noble...bearing.”

DA 722 “He spoke no word of condemnation. He looked pityingly upon Judas.”

DA 724 “On His [Christ’s] face he [Pilate] saw no sign of guilt, no expression of fear, no boldness or defiance. He saw a man of calm and dignified bearing.”

DA 726 “His whole bearing gave evidence of conscious innocence. He stood unmoved by the fury of the waves that beat about Him.”

DA 735 “Every feature expressed gentleness and resignation and the tenderest pity for His cruel foes. In His manner was no cowardly weakness.”

DA 741 “From insult to insult, from mockery to mockery, twice tortured by the scourge, all that night there had been scene after scene of a character to try the soul. Christ had not failed. All through the disgraceful farce of a trial he had borne Himself with...dignity.”

DA 744 “The Saviour made no murmur of complaint. His face remained calm and serene...No curses were called down upon the soldiers who were handling him so roughly. No vengeance was invoked upon the priests…Christ pitied them in their ignorance and guilt. He breathed only a plea for their forgiveness…”

FW 16 “Let this point be fully settled in every mind: If we accept Christ as a Redeemer, we must accept Him as a Ruler. We cannot have the assurance and perfect confiding trust in Christ as our Saviour until we acknowledge Him as our King.”
