[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just make sure you read the label. Some Tillamook flavors have junk in them your family should avoid. Vanilla bean, cherry, and peach seem to be pretty clean ingredients.

Strawberry for some reason has like 5 different 'gums':

"cream, skim milk, sugar, milk, strawberries, water, pasteurized egg yolks natural flavor, cornstarch, citric acid, red beet concentrate (color), pectin, tara gum, guar gum xanthan gum, locust bean gum, gellan gum, calcium chloride."

Neapolitan has peanut oil. Cookies & Cream has palm oil, palm kernal oil, soy lecithin. Cookie Dough has coconut oil, soybean oil. Rocky Road has corn syrup and safflower oil.[/quote]

It actually doesn’t surprise me that the strawberry has more gums.  I’m not a food chemist but I think the acid in citrus fruits (plus the liquid in berries) makes it harder for the fat molecules to bind.  This is why you need something like clear gel when you make strawberry pie, and why lemon meringue pie is the hardest of the pies (getting the curd to thicken properly is challenging due to the acid in the lemon).
