Are you a crunchy, green, natural minded person? You may have wondered about the ingredients in Plexus products. I know I did. Well, here is some cool information about Slim: "CITRIC ACID - Crunchy folks checking out Plexus may balk when they see that Slim contains citric acid. I did....until I learned the care Slim creator Dave Brown takes to source the citric acid in Plexus Slim from organically grown lemons, limes, and oranges. This is the old-timey, naturally-occurring, expensive way to get citric acid, which is used as a natural preservative and flavor enhancer. The modern way of obtaining citric acid, which is in just about everything processed these days, is by extracting it from GMO black mold grown atop GMO corn. This is quick and cheap and abundant. Besides the icky way most citric acid is obtained these days, it has yet another dark side: MSG (monosodium glutamate, a neurotoxin, used as a flavor enhancer and a chemical MANY people are very sensitive to)!!!! When making citric acid the quick way, manufacturers do not always take out the protein which can be hydrolyzed and create MSG, a known neuro-toxin that kills brain cells. When citric acid is obtained the natural way, as it is in Slim, there is no danger of MSG forming." #nojunk #superioringredients #lovemycompany #plexusrocks
