Dear Diamond Community - I wish for you to be aware of the possible contamination of our food and take action to support our Diamond Bodies! See below … Jacqueline Joy Natural vanilla flavor comes from a vanilla bean right? Maybe not for long -- a new genetically engineered ingredient, straight out of a petri dish, is about to enter our favorite foods, from ice cream to birthday cake. Synbio vanilla -- produced by a form of extreme genetic engineering called synthetic biology -- is stranger than science fiction, but regulators will still let food companies call it natural. The truth is this new vanilla doesn’t even come from a plant. Instead, it is made in labs using synthetic DNA and genetically engineered yeast which exists nowhere in nature. What’s worse, the FDA hasn’t even bothered to test this laboratory creation as a new product. Instead, the agency labeled it as “Generally Regarded As Safe”. Ice cream companies are one of the biggest purchasers of vanilla flavoring and we need your help to send them a strong message: don’t use this unnatural vanilla in your ice cream. Tell Haagen Dazs, Dryers, Baskin Robbins and other ice cream companies to commit to not use synbio vanilla by signing our petition here: bit.ly/167bKA5 Thank You.
