🍦Why We Say No to Additives, Preservatives, Antibiotics, and Growth Hormones — and You Should Too

In today’s world, you shouldn't need a chemistry degree to understand what's in your food. But for most Americans, food labels read like a science experiment: artificial flavors, synthetic preservatives, growth hormones, antibiotics — and the list goes on.

At Primal Pints, we believe there's a better way. We make ice cream the way nature intended: using grass-fed milk and cream, sweetened with raw honey, and made without a trace of junk. Here's why that matters — not just for your tastebuds, but for your long-term health.

🚫 The Problem with Modern Food

1. Additives and Preservatives

Most ultra-processed foods are loaded with synthetic preservatives and flavor enhancers that extend shelf life and mask poor quality ingredients. These chemicals can:

  • Disrupt gut health

  • Trigger inflammation

  • Contribute to chronic diseases

We believe real food doesn’t need a chemistry lab to taste good or last longer.

2. Antibiotics in Livestock

Factory-farmed cows are routinely given antibiotics to prevent illness caused by overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. These antibiotics can end up in your food — and worse, contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a growing global health threat.

3. Growth Hormones (rBGH)

Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) is used to increase milk production in dairy cows. But studies suggest it can increase levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in humans — a hormone linked to certain cancers and hormonal imbalances.

We source exclusively from grass-fed cows never treated with rBGH, because your body deserves better.

🧬 America’s Food System: Quantity Over Quality

The modern American food system prioritizes efficiency, profit, and shelf stability over health. It’s why the U.S. has:

  • Skyrocketing rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease

  • A nation hooked on hyper-palatable, nutrient-poor foods

  • An entire generation suffering from chronic inflammation and metabolic disorders

It’s time to return to real food made from real ingredients.
