Love the site and the recipes.
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with the safety of "popular and inexpensive vanilla in the Mexican section of my grocery store contains propylene glycol." This is artificial vanilla made from propylene glycol with a petroleum starting base. Propylene glycol can come from grain sources but not this cheap synthetic version I am afraid. I regularly contact companies directly to ask quality control questions.
Also a physician friend of mine recently commented on his frustration with controlling the cholesterol and blood pressure of a patient until he found out the propylene glycol in her food and cosmetics was interfering with the medicine.
I always suggest people check their local grocery stores, Big Lots, drug stores (CVS & Walgreen's have their brand on sale frequently) and Dollar General type stores for great deals on REAL 100% VANILLA extract. A little goes a long way in your great Cook for Good recipes and without the potential medicine interactions.
