No Artificial Colors
Some artificial food dyes have been found to cause allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, inflammation, disruptions to the immune system and numerous norms of cancer. Artificial colors are also linked to Increased intestinal permeability (aka “leaky gut”) and respiratory disorders, such as asthma and bronchitis. If you have to color your food to make it more fun than delicious, then color us boring. We’ll just go with delicious.
-
No artificial flavors.
Many artificial flavors contain toxins that could be harmful, including benzene, which is a known carcinogen, and diacetyl, which has been linked to lung disease. Other studies show excessive consumption of artificial flavors may lead to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic and fatal diseases including lung cancer and breast cancer in women. We figure none of this is smart to mess around with, so we don’t.
-
No HFCS.
Ingestion of fructose chronically has contributed to multiple health consequences, such as insulin resistance, obesity, liver disorders, and diabetes. According to a University of Calfornia-Davis study, consuming sucrose and high fructose corn-sweetened beverages increases liver fat and decreases insulin sensitivity. Decreased insulin sensitivity is a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. No thank you. We’ll keep it clean.
-
rBST- and rBGH-free
Mountain Jim opposes artificial growth hormones in milk cattle so the cows that supply our milk and cream are not treated with rBGH, rBST or other artificial growth hormones. While the FDA has found no significant difference in milk from treated and untreated cows, Mountain Jim believes in providing you with pure, fresh-dairy products free of artificial hormones.
