Vanillin

Anyone with food issues should check out vanillin. What is vanillian? It is used instead of vanilla. Now the chemical make up is confusing. Wikipedia explains it. Go to www.wikipedia.org/wiki/vanillin for an explaination.

What this explaination fails to mention is the health results from the use of vanillin. My husband love Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and other candy. His eyes crusted up and a huge pimple like blemish developed under his eyes. Then some came on his nose and chin.

I was puzzled since I take such care reading labels. The word vanillin appeared. What happened to vanilla? Looking up the information, it was easy to isolate the new word in the list of ingredients. Made from wood and other things while natural, it is not good for many people. There are lists of complaints about vanillin from some users. There is no data requiring the elimination of this product.

Some day there may be enough data. For now if you have food issues, watch your vanillin use.
