Have you noticed yet? There is an increasing amount of products you consume that have some form of natural flavors in the ingredient list on the bottle, package, or container.

It’s very similar to perfumes, parfumes, fragrances—no one really knows how many dozens, hundreds or even thousands of ingredients, chemicals, and agents, are inside that fragrance.
