- hinkley 3y agoFair point. Were oreos always palm oil or were they lard back in the day? The fracking industry has made guar gum too expensive to use as a food emulsifier. I know someone who reacts to xanthan gum (which has all but replaced guar) and she's not a happy camper, because it's in fucking everything.
