"Natural flavors, despite their misleading name, often contain synthetic additives that may pose health risks to consumers." Isn't that a MASSIVE understatement?
So-called 'natural flavors' are, without exception, synthetic, chemical concoctions derived to fool the tastebuds. They are ALWAYS alternatives to genuine, naturally existing flavor, and they ALWAYS pose a potential health risk. If the flavor of an item comes from real lemons, the ingredient list will include 'lemons'. If the 'lemon' flavor has been synthetically concocted from a long laundry list of chemicals - and there is an entire industry for manufacturing an endless array of artificial flavors (and scents) - the label will state 'natural flavors'. This is also true of 'organic natural flavors', whatever the likely meaningless definition of those might be.
It is misleading to pretend that this 'might' be the case, akin to saying it 'might' be risky to step in front of a moving train.
