Have you ever seen Bread at the grocery store which says "extra fiber"? Have you ever seen those "cleanse" products? Ever eaten a cookie that says it is low sugar and it tastes a bit too good to be true?
Thank SAWDUST!!! Yes, the FDA allows sawdust to be added to food with zero regulation!! It is in bread, cheese, cookies, milkshakes that you buy at fast food places, ice cream, etc.
You are thinking, "how is this possible"? I have never seen a food label which says "sawdust". Well of course not, that would be bad marketing! But how about if we call it "cellulose"? Sounds better! Celery has a ton of cellulose right? Celery is good for you, right?
Yeah! We've got a winner!
Do you know how the FDA categorizes cellulose in food? It is labeled GRAS. Generally regarded as safe. Which technically means that zero testing has been done.
The food industry LOVES cellulose because it is cheaper than whatever it is replacing. Remember the food industry is all about "weight". If you can sell a pound of cheese which is 30 percent sawdust, you are going to make a fortune! Sawdust is cheaper than milk!
If you can add sawdust to bread, amazing! Did you know that sawdust is much cheaper than wheat?
IT IS CRIMINAL!!!!!
quotingThe book Sacred Cow had this to say on the topic of grass fed vs other beef. But I would take it with a grain of salt and still choose grass fed when I can.
