How to make prickly pear cactus fruit juice for FREE (Health Ranger video)

(NaturalNews) Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) teaches wild foods harvesting in a short video about harvesting nopal cactus fruit and turning it into nutritious, medicinal juice! Watch the video on NaturalNews.TV at: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=6952BD89F1F8EC25756D84DBF43BDFA3 Or view it on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8VmzQgZN_g In the video, Mike Adams demonstrates how to harvest prickly pear cactus fruit (without getting stuck by the spines), how to press the juice out of the cactus fruit (using a juice press, see below), and how to mix the final juice with tea to make a delicious wild foods beverage! To press out the cactus fruit juice, Adams uses a Norwalk Juicer which features a powerful juice press. Because many people don’t have a juice press, the alternative way to accomplish the same thing is to blend the cactus fruits in a Vita-Mix blender , pour the slurry into nut milk bags , then squeeze the juice out of the nut milk bags. Nut milk bags are available at the NaturalNews Store: http://store.naturalnews.com Harvesting tips Prickly pear cactus fruit juice is almost incandescent purple — it’s a beautiful color made of phyto-pigments that are also powerful medicine. You’ve often heard to eat all the different colors of fresh foods, right? Well, cactus fruit has some of the most powerful colors you’ve ever seen in nature, similar to the color intensity of something like spirulina or astaxanthin. The best part about harvesting cactus fruit is that it’s FREE, and it’s widely available throughout the world where the climate doesn’t get too cold in the winter. You’ll find cactus fruits in the South of the USA, Central America, South America, Australia, China, the Middle East and many other regions. Harvesting tip: Always leave some cactus fruit for the birds. This is one of their important food sources. When harvesting wild foods, never harvest the entire plant, obviously.

Maybe the answer is to stop getting all your food indoors and start finding more of it out in nature where it really grows!” Along those lines, NaturalNews.TV recently launched a course called FREE Food and Medicine which teaches that exact principle: http://premium.naturalnews.tv/Free_Food_and_Medicine__NN.htm Watch for more videos and articles on wild foods here at NaturalNews.com.

Shock finding: More than 75 percent of all ‘honey’ sold in grocery stores contains no honey at all

(NaturalNews) Just because those cute little bear-shaped bottles at the grocery store say “honey” on them does not necessarily mean that they actually contain honey. A comprehensive investigation conducted by Food Safety News (FSN) has found that the vast majority of so-called honey products sold at grocery stores, big box stores, drug stores, and restaurants do not contain any pollen, which means they are not real honey. For the investigation, Vaughn Bryant, one of the nation’s leading melissopalynologists, or experts in identifying pollen in honey, and director of the Palynology Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University, evaluated more than 60 products labeled as “honey” that had been purchased by FSN from ten states and the District of Columbia. Bryant found that 76 percent of “honey” samples purchased from major grocery store chains like Kroger and Safeway, and 77 percent of samples purchased from big box chains like Sam’s Club and Wal-Mart, did not contain any pollen. Even worse were “honey” samples taken from drug stores like Walgreens and CVS, and fast food restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC, 100 percent of which were found to contain not a trace of pollen. The full FSN report with a list of all the pollen-less “honey” brands can be accessed here: http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/11/tests-show-most-store-honey-isnt-honey/ So what is all this phony honey made of? It is difficult to say for sure, as pollen is the key to verifying that honey is real. According to FSN, much of this imposter honey is more likely being secretly imported from China, and may even be contaminated with antibiotic drugs and other foreign materials. Most conventional honey products have been illegally ultra-filtered to hide their true nature According to FSN, the lack of pollen in most conventional “honey” products is due to these products having been ultra-filtered. This means that they have been intensely heated, forced through extremely tiny filters, and potentially even watered down or adulterated in some way prior to hitting store shelves. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) holds the position that any so-called honey products that have been ultra-filtered are not actually honey. But the agency refuses to do anything to stop this influx of illegitimate “honey” from flooding the North American market. It also continues to stonewall all petitions to establish a national regulatory standard for verifying the integrity of honey. Ultra-filtering eliminates and destroys all medicinal properties of honey Assuming that there is any real honey at all in the phony honey products tested by FSN, the removal of pollen and other delicate materials via ultra-filtering renders them medicinally dead. Raw honey is a health-promoting food that can help alleviate stomach problems, anemia, allergies, and other health conditions. Ultra-filtered honey is nothing more than a health-destroying processed sugar in the same vein as white table sugar or high fructose corn syrup. The good news is that all of the honey products FSN tested from farmers markets, food cooperatives, and “natural” stores like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, were found to contain pollen and a full array of antioxidants and other nutrients. Local beekeepers are another great source of obtaining raw, unprocessed, real honey.

CSC announces boycott against J&J for continuing to needlessly add cancer-causing chemicals to baby shampoos

(NaturalNews) A new report put together by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC) reveals that, despite numerous petitions from consumers and consumer advocacy groups, Johnson and Johnson (J&J) continues to produce baby shampoos that contain two known cancer-causing chemicals. And perhaps the worst part about the whole thing is that J&J has reformulated these products for some countries, but continues to use the toxic versions in North America. Entitled Baby’s Tub is Still Toxic , the CSC report explains that J&J’s Baby Shampoo, Oatmeal Baby Wash, Moisture Care Baby Wash, and Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash all contain 1,4-dioxane, a petrochemical byproduct of the ethoxylation process that lessens the severity of other chemical ingredients, but can also lead to cancer. J&J’s Baby Shampoo also still contains quaternium-15, a harmful preservative added to products to kill bacteria. In the process, though, it releases formaldehyde, a highly poisonous ingredient also used in rat poison. Formaldehyde can cause permanent lung damage, gastrointestinal corrosion, skin burns, and cancer. What is particularly disturbing, though, is the fact that J&J does not need to even be using these chemicals in its baby products. It already makes versions of these same products that are free of these chemicals for Denmark, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and the UK. It is only those baby products made for the US, Australia, Canada, China, and Indonesia that still contain them. “Clearly there is no need for Johnson and Johnson to expose babies to a known carcinogen when the company is already making safer alternatives,” says Lisa Archer, director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics at the Breast Cancer Fund. “All babies deserve safer products.” J&J responded in a statement by saying that it will eventually phase out these deadly chemicals. But it has yet to reveal whether or not it will do so by the November 15 deadline that CSC is petitioning it to do. “Natural” versions of J&J’s baby shampoo products, which are free of these and other harmful chemicals, are already available in the US and other markets. But they typically cost twice as much as J&J’s conventional varieties, which discourages many consumers from making the switch. “While it is encouraging to see that Johnson and Johnson has made progress in formulating a safer ‘natural’ version of its iconic baby shampoo, now is the time for the company to rise to the occasion and make the safer products the world market is demanding for all its customers,” adds Archer.

Steve Jobs dead at 55, his life ended prematurely by chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer

(NaturalNews) It’s is extremely saddening to see the cost in human lives that modern society pays for its false belief in conventional medicine and the cancer industry in particular. Visionary Steve Jobs died today after being treated for cancer with chemotherapy at the Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto, California . In recent months, he appeared in public photos as a frail shadow of his former self. The thin legs, sunken cheek bones and loss of body weight are all classic signs of total body toxicity observed in chemotherapy and radiotherapy patients. Steve Jobs reportedly underwent both. His chemotherapy treatments at the Standard Cancer Center are now well known (http://www.marksmarketanalysis.com/2011/02/steve-jobs-on-chemo-may-have-only-weeks.html), and his secret radiotherapy treatments in Switzerland have now been made public by former Apple executive Jerry York. Jerry York confided in Fortune Magazine about Steve Jobs’ secret flight to Switzerland to receive radiotherapy treatment for his cancer (http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/01/18/steve-jobs-went-to-switzerland-in-search-of-cancer-treatment/). Fortune Magazine kept this secret until Jerry York died in March of 2010 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_York_(businessman)), after which Fortune Magazine decided its confidentiality agreement with York no longer applied, and it published details about Jobs’ secret visits to Switzerland (http://gawker.com/5737092/steve-jobss-cancer-secret-revealed-following-sources-death). Fortune Magazine also repeats another fact about Steve Jobs that rarely appears in the press: Namely, that Steve Jobs underwent a secret liver transplant which raised eyebrows among many who wondered why a member of the wealthy business elite could receive a liver transplant essentially on demand while everybody else had to wait on a long transplant list (http://articles.cnn.com/2009-06-24/health/liver.transplant.priority.lists_1_organ-transplant-liver-transplant-united-network?_s=PM:HEALTH). In January of this year, Roc4Life.com reported: “Jobs’ medical leave is due to cancer, but no one knows whether it stems from his 2004 battle with pancreatic cancer or complications from a secret liver transplant in 2009. According to recently deceased off-the-record source from Apple’s Jerry York, Jobs took an unpublicized flight to Switzerland in 2009 to undergo unusual treatment at the University of Basel. Switzerland’s University of Basel known for their radiotherapy treatments for neuroendocrine cancer and it’s unavailability in the U.S. Experts say Jobs’ pancreatic cancer has a history of reappearing and spreading to vital organs at a slow-growing pace, which probably explains the medical leave.” In other words, there is no question that Steve Jobs underwent multiple conventional cancer treatments , including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In the end, however, even Steve Jobs could not overturn the laws of biochemistry. When you poison the human body, the result is the deterioration and eventual shut down of the body. Chemotherapy does not work ! This fact should now be obvious, and yet every year, more and more people choose chemotherapy to their own demise — people like Farrah Fawcett, Peter Jennings, Patrick Swayze, Michael Douglas and many others (http://www.naturalnews.com/027047_cancer_therapy_chemotherapy.html). Don’t they see that conventional cancer treatments do not work? Losing Steve Jobs is a loss of a great visionary It is striking that people who are geniuses in their own fields can understand so little about the fundamentals of human health. Steve Jobs was arguably one of the most influential visionaries of our time, and his development of human-technology interfaces revolutionized modern computing. Had he achieved another twenty years of life — and lived to 75 — he would have no doubt contributed to our world in even more profound and positive ways. Yet his remaining life was stolen from him by the cancer industry and its poisons. This is yet another frustrating example of how the modern medical system harms our society. It steals from us the longevity of visionary individuals who have so much more to offer our world in terms of creativity and innovation. Of course, you can’t blame the cancer industry for causing Jobs’ cancer in the first place. Some other cause had to have been present to get the cancer growing — probably a combination of nutritional deficiencies and exposure to environmental toxins. And yet the cancer establishment says nothing to people about correcting obvious nutritional deficiencies that lead to cancer, even when most cancers can be prevented for mere pennies a day. The simple combination of vitamin D and selenium , if taken in combination, could probably prevent more than 80% of all cancers in America (http://www.naturalnews.com/021892.html). Yet the American Cancer Society and all the mainstream cancer non-profits don’t dare advocate vitamin D or selenium. If solutions were readily available to everyone, how would the cancer industry maintain its profitability? The dark side of Apple This gets us to the dark side of Apple, because just as the cancer industry is a greed-driven monstrosity that incessantly seeks profits at the expense of others, Apple has increasingly become a corporation that has routinely chosen for-profit domination over public service. This is not so much about Steve Jobs himself as it is about those who surrounded him and ultimately exploited his talents for their own selfish agendas. Apple iPhones, for example, were recently exposed as secret tracking devices that record your location and upload that data back to Apple headquarters (http://www.naturalnews.com/032239_iPhone_tracking.html). Alex Jones even issued a special report just a few weeks ago, asking the important question: “Is Apple Evil?” (http://www.infowars.com/is-apple-evil-a-message-to-steve-jobs-infowars-special-report-w-alex-jones/) Apple has been caught intimidating journalists, blocking iPhone apps that allow people to make charitable donations, and even running manufacturing facilities in China with such poor wages and working conditions that workers there commit suicide in record numbers (http://www.infowars.com/is-apple-evil/) Apple has become the Big Brother it once opposed But most of all, Apple operates with a mindset of total monopolistic domination , requiring apps to be sold through its iTunes, where Apple takes an unfair cut of every sale. In fact, Apple has come to very much resemble the Orwellian Big Brother image that once made it famous in its January 22, 1984 Superbowl ad, which positioned Apple’s Macintosh computer as freeing people from tyranny. Watch that ad at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhsWzJo2sN4 What’s so striking about this commercial is that, in many ways, Apple has become the very thing it once claimed to oppose — domineering control, automaton conformity, and centralized command over the expression of musicians and programmers alike. The text of the ad says, “On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like “1984.” Thanks to companies like Apple, 2011 sure is a lot like 1984. A clever response to all this appears in a parody video that pits Steve Jobs in that “1984″ video as a way to show that Apple acts more like Big Brother with each passing day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zhHwim6cV8 Anyone who has ever owned an iPhone knows all about being locked into a technology from which there is no free choice to do what you want with it. Why aren’t iPhones sold as “unlocked” from the get-go? Why do you have to hack your own phone just to free it from Apple’s domineering control? And why does your phone track your every move even without your permission or knowledge? Live by principle, because that’s the only thing you take with you You see, the more you look into the story of Steve Jobs and Apple, the deeper it all gets. And that brings us back to Steve Jobs and the topic of principles and ethics . All the wealth in the world couldn’t save Steve Jobs from cancer, of course. Here’s a question for you: In his final days of life, would Steve Jobs have traded every bit of wealth he owned for a healthy new liver and pancreas? You bet he would! And yet he couldn’t. Because it doesn’t work that way. When it comes to organ health, there are no second chances . You’re given one set of organs to live with, and if you can’t figure out how to take care of those with nutrition, healthy foods and avoidance of environmental toxins, all the money in the world can’t save you. Importantly, you don’t take money with you when you die , so collecting dollars or cars or even gold is little more than a short-term distraction set in the physical world. What you do take is a karmic record of your actions ; a “universal log file” of your principles and ethics, if you will. And that’s what matters in whatever experience or reality awaits us beyond this one, whether you believe in Heaven, or reincarnation, or ascension to higher plane of existence. Was Steve Jobs a positive influence on our world? Yes, I think so I don’t pretend to be qualified to judge Steve Jobs on all his actions here on our planet, but the only honest question in helping to answer that is this: “Is our world better off because of Steve Jobs’ influence? Or is it worse off?” On the whole, I believe Steve Jobs himself was a creative visionary whose talents eventually became co-opted by less-than-ethical corporate interests which operated outside his core intentions. This is precisely the reason why brilliant people should always be wary of “investors” or men wearing suits, because the whole purpose of venture capital is to grant people who don’t know how to really create wealth a way to sink their claws into those who do. This is why I have consistently and successfully resisted all venture capital and buyout attempts targeting NaturalNews. To bring in big money people would destroy the heart and soul of what NaturalNews is all about, in the same way that all the big money people who eventually surrounded Steve Jobs ultimately compromised what was originally an uplifting vision for human freedom and expression. (Even in the health industry, I can’t even tell you all the stories of brilliant, visionary people who have been betrayed by investors and corporate interests. It happens almost 100% of the time.) The real lesson in Steve Jobs’ passing, then, is not “oh wow look at all these cool gadgets he left us” — because that’s the juvenile view — but rather “what can we learn from Steve Jobs about staying authentic in our own lives and our own decisions?” What I’ve learned from Steve Jobs is that staying true to your vision is far more important than being commercially successful or collecting material wealth. Walking a path that gets your face on the cover of business magazines requires too much compromise of ethics and principles. The business community, after all, doesn’t usually celebrate real geniuses who share things with the world and make nothing from it. It only celebrates those who find clever ways to extract billions of dollars from the hands of consumers. In fact, you might even say that the business world actually punishes those who bring real innovation to the world — people such as free energy inventors , most of which you have never heard about because they ended up mysteriously dead before they could bring their inventions to market. Steve Jobs was celebrated because his innovations were consistent with the culture of mass consumerism and unbridled corporate greed — buy more computing stuff, and buy it often! That makes investors rich, and that’s the name of the game in the business world. Steve Jobs was celebrated, in other words, not for who he was on the inside, but for all the other people who got rich off him along the way. And that’s a shame, because even after his passing, I feel like we never knew the real Steve Jobs at all — the Steve Jobs who probably wanted to make the world a better place yet repeatedly found his talents being distorted and leveraged for bottom-line profits in a culture of greed that only cares about finding new ways to convince consumers to part with their money. Steve Jobs may be dead, but the domineering greed of those who extorted his talent lives on. The iPhone 5 will probably be out in a year or so, so we can all throw away our old electronics which end up in a toxic landfill somewhere, and then replace it with new electronics made in a slave labor factory in China. Isn’t technology great? Either way, may Steve Jobs rest in peace. May his name never be used for commercial exploitation again.

Hidden camera water fluoridation video released by InfoWars

(NaturalNews) The InfoWars team has released stunning secret video footage showing how the toxic chemical fluoride (actually fluorosilicic acid) is dumped into the public water supply in Austin, Texas. The secret footage reveals pipes so corroded by the highly-corrosive fluoride chemicals that they have obviously needed aggressive repairs just to keep the liquid chemical flowing. Watch this undercover video footage , which was taken without the permission of Austin water authorities, in this InfoWars video: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A836C957ADAE569341FC01576B3D1A10 We have posted this video on NaturalNews.TV with permission, as a backup in case YouTube censors the video as it has been known to do.

Watch it at: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A836C957ADAE569341FC01576B3D1A10 Fluoride: The mass chemical poisoning of the human race Water fluoridation stands as one of the most heinous crimes of our time, and it exemplifies the complete idiocy of virtually the entire (conventional) medical and dental professions, whose practitioners have aggressively demanded that the American people be poisoned (drugged!) every time they drink a glass of tap water. The dangerously inflated, ego-driven medical doctors of America have, for decades, smugly insisted that adults, teens and even infants should all drink the highly toxic fluorosilicic acid that’s dumped into America’s municipal water supplies — much of it being sourced from China and absolutely chock full of heavy metals and other dastardly substances. That the conventional dentists and doctors of America have even pushed fluoride for so long tells you they have zero integrity as health professionals in the first place. They are so ignorant — and yet so smug in their insistence on being right — that they would gladly order infants to drink chemotherapy cocktails if the U.S. government declared chemo to be good for public health! If justice were to be served in America, mass arrests should be made right now of municipal water workers who inject fluoride into the water supply, effectively operating as domestic terrorists for unleashing a chemical weapon. On top of that, every single doctor, dentist and government “authority” who took part in mandating water fluoridation should be arrested, imprisoned, and prosecuted for their role in carrying out the most evil chemical crime against people and nature that has ever been pulled off. You’ve been lied to about fluoride! Conventional health authorities routinely and maliciously lie to you about where fluoride comes from, what’s in it, and what impact it has on public health. Watch my narrated animation on fluoride to learn more about where fluoride really comes from: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=42652E035A1B1BAAAE1F340B54694975 Don’t be fooled by arrogant doctors and dentists who claim fluoride prevents dental cavities. They have all been lied to as well! And most of them are too gullible to question their own information sources, so they believe anything they’re told by governments, the CDC or medical journals which are themselves engaged in outright scientific quackery. Doctors and dentists who promote fluoride are harming babies with their chemical drug pushing. It’s time they were stopped! There is not one shred of reliable scientific evidence that drinking fluorosilicic acid prevents dental cavities and is safe for human consumption. The entire conventional fluoride mythology is nothing but an elaborate public health hoax that has been carried out on the world as a way to dispose of toxic chemical waste byproducts by dumping them into the water supply rather than paying to have them removed as hazardous waste chemicals. Anyone who tells you that “fluoride prevents cavities” is a complete ignorant zombie who has been brainwashed by the system and probably can’t even tell you WHY they believe fluoride prevents cavities. “Someone told me so!” is about the best answer they can usually come up with.

Philadelphia exurb ends water fluoridation

(NaturalNews) We can only hope that the recent surge in American communities voting to end water fluoridation is an omen to the eventual end of this abominable and toxic practice across the entire country. A recent report in the The Mercury explains that officials in Pottstown, Penn., a northwest exurb of Philadelphia with over 21,000 residents, have decided to stop fluoridating the borough’s public water supply. Reports indicate that, despite the fact that not a single Pottstown resident showed up at any of the public hearings concerning fluoride, the Pottstown Borough Authority voted to remove the toxic chemical on its own, which it had been importing from China. Pottstown had been one of only a few communities in Pennsylvania that artificially fluoridate their water supplies. Only one board member, Aram Ecker, opposed removing fluoride — and he did so, of course, using the same outdated and pseudo-scientific talking points peddled by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Dental Association (ADA), and others who continue to deny the numerous, more recent studies that show fluoride consumption causes brain damage, thyroid dysfunction, and other health problems (http://www.naturalnews.com/fluoride.html). The move will save Pottstown as much as $60,000 a year, which is roughly what it costs to import the liquid toxin from China, and lace it in the water supply. As a result, the borough’s water department workers will also no longer have to go through the intense handling procedures that are required when dealing with highly corrosive fluoride chemicals. Pottstown’s decision came just one day after Spring Hill, Tenn., a suburb of Nashville, voted to remove fluoride from its water supply, which marks what appears to be the eventual decline of the chemical’s use across the US (http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110818/WILLIAMSON12/308180009/Spring-Hill-drop-fluoride).

Chinese man dies after being exposed to industrial version of common meat additive

(NaturalNews) The Chinese government has sentenced Gao Yanjun, a butcher from the northern city of Jinzhou, to life in prison — and four others to up to 15 years in prison — for illegally adding poisonous, industrial-grade nitrates to meat products they sold, in order to enhance their color and texture. In contrast to food-grade nitrates, which although it is also technically poisonous will not necessarily kill you, industrial-grade nitrates are a known chemical poison that is fatal when consumed. According to a recent Associated Press (AP) report, a Chinese man by the last name of Sun bought roughly 75 cents worth of nitrate-contaminated pig intestine from Yanjun’s butcher shop last year. Shortly after consuming it, Sun died, while his friend who had also eaten some of it was hospitalized in serious condition. It was later discovered that Yanjun had deliberately added the fertilizer chemical to his meat to help improve its appearance. Even so-called “food-grade” nitrates are dangerous, though. Despite being a legal food additive, they are known to cause cancer and other illnesses. Consequently, many consumers are choosing to buy meats and other products that are free of nitrates, and many food producers have responded to this growing demand by replacing these food chemicals with natural food preservatives. An extensive research study out of the University of Hawaii found that consuming nitrate-laden processed meats like hot dogs, sausage, and lunch meats, results in a 67 percent increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/007024.html). And another study published in the journal BMC Cancer explains that children who consume processed meats with nitrates and nitrites are an astounding 74 percent more likely to develop leukemia, as well as pancreatic and colorectal cancers (http://www.naturalnews.com/News_000708_sodium_nitrite_leukemia_processed_meat.html). Obviously industrial-grade nitrates are more deadly than food-grade nitrates, though, and the Chinese government is allegedly cracking down on this and other forms of food contamination that have blackened the nation’s reputation around the world. Reports indicate that China’s food safety commission is working on passing a “comprehensive food safety law” that will supposedly help curb the rampant number of consumer product contamination cases that have emerged in recent years.

True fact: A common ingredient in commercial breads is derived from human hair harvested in China

(NaturalNews) If you read the ingredients label on a loaf of bread, you will usually find an ingredient listed there as L-cysteine . This is a non-essential amino acid added to many baked goods as a dough conditioner in order to speed industrial processing. It’s usually not added directly to flour intended for home use, but you’ll find it throughout commercial breads such as pizza dough, bread rolls and pastries. While some L-cysteine is directly synthesized in laboratories, most of it is extracted from a cheap and abundant natural protein source: human hair . The hair is dissolved in acid and L-cysteine is isolated through a chemical process, then packaged and shipped off to commercial bread producers. Besides human hair, other sources of L-cysteine include chicken feathers, duck feathers, cow horns and petroleum byproducts. Most of the hair used to make L-cysteine is gathered from the floors of barbershops and hair salons in China, by the way. While the thought of eating dissolved hair might make some people uneasy, most Western consumers ultimately have no principled objections doing so. For Jews and Muslims, however, hair-derived L-cysteine poses significant problems. Muslims are forbidden from eating anything derived from a human body , and many rabbis forbid hair consumption for similar reasons. Even rabbis who permit the consumption of hair would forbid it if it came from corpses — and since much L-cysteine comes from China, where sourcing and manufacturing practices are notoriously questionable, this is a real concern. In one case, a rabbi forbade the consumption of L-cysteine because the hair had been harvested during a ritual at a temple in India.
