About vegan items???!


Question: About vegan items!?!?!?
What are some common items you wouldnt expect they contain animal products!? Like oregons, and some other instruments!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Gelatin
One of the most commonly overlooked items is gelatin!. This substance comes from ligaments or bones of livestock, and is in a number of food and household products!. These include candle wax, fruit gelatin, film, vitamin pills, and many types of candy!. There are a number of alternatives such as seaweed, fruit pectin, and cotton gum!.


Glycerin
Glycerin, commonly found in soaps and plastics, is usually produced with some sort of animal fat!. There are now a number of vegetable types by products that will produce a glycerin like substance!.


Condiments

Many types of food or ingredients added to food in preparation and serving contain animal products!. Honey is one of the most obvious but not normally considered items, which is a substance that is produced by bees, and also included royal jelly!. Conventionally produced molasses aids animal fatty oils to reduce the production foam when processing, but this tends to not be the case with organically produced molasses!. Agave nectar is often used as an alternative to both of these!.


Milk Products
Though it is obvious that milk is not part of a strict vegan diet but certain things from milk are added to a lot of “non-dairy” items!. Whey protein is in quite a bit of baked good preparation, but a similar substance can be extracted from soy beans!. Rennet is an enzyme that often comes from the stomachs of cows and other livestock and is put in things like “dairy free” cheeses!. There are a number of vegetable based substitutes available now!. Milk proteins are often used in cosmetic products, so make sure to find items that use vegetable proteins instead!.


Vitamins
Conventional dietary supplements and vitamins commonly use animal products in different parts of their development!. Vitamin A, which is often isolated and included into a number of cosmetic items, is usually derived from various animal organs!. A whole variety of Vitamin B, D, and H all have common animal sources!. The best way to approach this problem is to look for specially labeled vitamins that indicate they only have plant sources!. This is also true of biotin, riboflavin, and many omega oils!.


Linens

Common clothing contains large amounts of fibers that come from animals!. Silk, which comes from silk worms, and wool, which spun from sheep, are the most obvious of these!. This is not a hard transition to make, just make a list of the type of materials you need to avoid and look our for those while you are shopping!.



Insulin

The medical field tends to be more saturated than most with animal sourced ingredients!. Insulin used to treat diabetes usually comes from a pig, so ask for synthetics and better nutritional alternatives to prescription insulin!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
