Does anyone make their own buttermilk?
Just started using buttermilk again and found out that it's not "real" buttermilk! It's been extended with fillers like modified food starch and carageenan or locust bean gum! None of this garbage do...

Thanks coolmom. This is exactly what I'm talking about! I looked at supposedly organic butter the other day and saw "natural flavors" on the ingredient list! I don't buy "regular" yogurt or cottage cheese now because it is full of fillers and "enhancers".
Some of these "enhancers" are major triggers for allergies. Drives me nuts. Whipping cream and heavy cream...half and half...same thing. Carageenan and other stuff.
thanks

I never paid attention to this sort of thing until my daughter developed some strange food allergies in her teens, and I've developed some in my 50s. One of the things that showed up on her tests was the gum additives. Now she is very careful about reading labels and eating as clean as she reasonably can.
Truthfully, I don't think there used to be as much JUNK in food as there is now.
