Dear @mjmarquez4151,
Your comment makes me very happy. I write because I hope to make a difference, even a tiny difference. You can see the research I did is quite responsible. If you follow the links to the articles, they are all in peer-reviewed journals. I think people should understand that these additives (thickeners, emulsifiers, etc.) can have a negative effect on their bodies. It will cost you more to prepare the ice cream without these additives, but there may customers willing to pay more, because they want better food. It is wonderful that you give consumers the choice.
I wish you good luck in your business. If you look at the references at the bottom of my blog, these may help you to come to a decision about how to go forward. Perhaps you'll let me know in the future how this choice works out for you.
Happy New Year,
AG
