0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast.
0:02.6	Yes, natural flavors are slightly more natural than artificial, but now there's a lot of research
0:07.0	that shows that they're quite similar.
0:09.2	But there is nothing about natural flavors that are transparent or anything of nutritional use.
0:14.5	It's just to make us want to eat more, right?
0:17.4	So that's the point is it's designed specifically from that aspect of how
0:22.1	much more addictive can we make it for people to buy more. And obviously natural flavors are way
0:28.1	cheaper than the real thing. Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology
0:34.3	podcast. I'm your host, Courtney Swan. And today's episode is all about
0:38.7	natural flavors. I sat down with Ashley Nicholson, who is the founder of BTR Nation Bars and

0:53.7	They are one of my favorite food bars on the market,
0:56.4	and we go more into detail about why in the episode.
1:01.1	But let's get into the meat of the episode.
1:03.6	So we talk about what her inspiration was for starting BTR Nation bars
1:09.2	and what natural flavors are. We really go into extensive detail
1:12.8	about why companies do this. What does it actually mean when you see natural flavors on the
1:18.7	ingredient label? Are there any ones that are actually safe? And why most brands actually don't even
1:25.5	know what's in their natural flavor that they're using.
1:34.1	We also talk about the terms natural and clean. We talk a little bit about greenwashing and so much more. So I hope you guys really like this episode. I love talking with Ashley. It was such
1:39.0	an informative episode. And oh, before I go, she shared a code that I wanted to share with you, my listeners.
