I can't imagine that everything vanilla, strawberry, or raspberry flavored came from a beavers anus. Not because I don't believe our government would approve it, but because there's a lot of things with those flavors. Just the sheer amount of products alone makes me question this article. I don't know the process for extracting this, how much that yields, or how much is necessary to achieve the desired flavor, but the first thing I thought of was there must be warehouses of beavers strapped to machines having their assholes harvested or something.
How could so many things all contain this one thing if it only comes from a beavers anus? I think what's more likely is that this chemical is synthesized artificially and added to the products, it's only one chemical among many that add to the flavor so it's in very small amounts, or there are multiple different things they can use to achieve these flavors and it isn't always castoreum.

Great. You are the perfect sheep.

I'm a sheep because I don't automatically take what you say as fact without questioning it? Yeah, totally. Bahhhh.
How about actually refuting my points instead of resorting to calling me a sheep?
