Answer 1

Yes, Jello and gelatin in general is made from animal bones and hides because it contains a lot of collagen... see link below.

Answer 2

Jell-O consists of four basic ingredients:

1. gelatin
2. water
3. sugar or artificial sweetener and artificial flavors
4. food coloring

exactly is gelatin? Gelatin is just a processed version of a structural protein called collagen that is found in many animals, including humans. Collagen actually makes up almost a third of all the protein in the human body. It is a big, fibrous molecule that makes skin, bones, and tendons both strong and somewhat elastic. As you get older, your body makes less collagen, and individual collagen fibers become crosslinked with each other. You might experience this as stiff joints (from less flexible tendons) or wrinkles (from loss of skin elasticity).

The gelatin you eat in Jell-O comes from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hooves, and connective tissues. To make gelatin, manufacturers grind up these various parts and pre-treat them with either a strong acid or a strong base to break down cellular structures and release proteins like collagen. After pre-treatment, the resulting mixture is boiled. During this process, the large collagen protein ends up being partially broken down, and the resulting product is called gelatin. The gelatin is easily extracted because it forms a layer on the surface of the boiling mixture.

Gelatin is a common ingredient in foods because it is so versatile. It can be used as a gelling agent (as in Jell-O), as a thickener, an emulsifier, and a stabilizer. You'll find it in a variety of foods, from yogurt to chewing gum. Here is a list of some other foods that commonly contain gelatin:

* gummy bears
* sour cream
* cream cheese
* cake icing and frosting
* marshmallows
* soups, sauces and gravies
* canned ham and chicken
* corned beef
* sausage

Gelatin is even used to make the coating for pills that makes them easier to swallow. It's also in cosmetics, lozenges, and ointments.


so yeah, it's made of that stuff, ur worst fears have come true... and now u have to quit eating some other food too!! i just gave u the list

Answer 3

Cow Hooves In Jello

Answer 4

Gelatin is extracted from bones. Usually beef bones. So you better skip your Jello, Gummy bears and a large assorment of other foods that contain gelatin.

I heard that steak comes from cow muscles! Oh my! ;-)

Perhaps you would be happier as a vegan that grows all of her own food.

Answer 5

Jello is made from gelatin which is made from animal bones. If you are looking for jello that is not derived from animals (gelatin), I would recommend looking for a product that uses agar, which is seaweed (as jello should be made). The reason that most companies use animal bones is because it is cheaper (agar/seaweed is more expensive).

Answer 6

Gelatin is the basis for jello and it does indeed come from a glutenous substance in animal bones.

Answer 7

gelatin is made from collagen, yes. check the ingredients on the package, i'm not sure what jell-o brand does.

Answer 8

I was told it was cow hoofs. I think that is wrong. Did a bit of a search, cant find what it is except its good for your 3whole body

Answer 9
