Chocolate covered raisins are an excellent source of shellac in your diet!

Meh, it's one more thing I don't have the time or money for (not the cost of the juicer--it takes a lot of fruit to make one cup of juice.) Like I said, juice consumption is actually pretty low in our house anyway, it's the canned fruit that gets us (assuming this study isn't fundamentally flawed in its testing methods, which it could be.) It would help if I could get his absorption levels up so he wasn't eating literally three times as much food as a normal child. It's a lot easier to open a can than to cut and core 3-4 pears every lunchtime.

Yes, that's what makes them so expensive. Shellac is a resin exuded by the female lac bug. That's got to be good for you.

I love the little lac bugs and their resinous secretions.

You will dream of them tonight while you sleep the electric sleep. Make sure, while you're dreaming, that you look at your hands.
