interesting fact about wax
This is really off the wall, but very strange..at least i think so.
I was eating a gummy peach ring, and then I started to read the ingredient list, and CARNAUBA WAX was a freakin ingredient!!!
Any nutritionist out there?

I've seen it on foods before (maybe used as a preservative)?
According to the Britannica Concise:
Very hard wax obtained from fronds of the carnauba tree, Copernicia cerifera, a fan palm of Brazil. During the regular dry seasons in Brazil, where it is called the tree of life, the carnauba palm protects its fanlike fronds from loss of moisture by secreting a coat of carnauba wax. Carnauba has been used in high-gloss polishes, phonograph records, and explosives. Synthetics have replaced it for many applications.
Explosives!
Stay away frome Mexican food
