That's the Biggest problem, there is just so much more crapp in our foods. Sure back when you are old enough to have so many chemicals around that was handled, our foods did not.
Eliminating as much as you can from eating foods that are basically fake and full of chemicals is a very good thing to do. The FDA will approve a certain percentage of the crapp in let's say a box of Cheerios. But that same percentage is also in another product. By the end of the week adding everything up can become a very bad amount that someone is eating.
It's like having too much ethanol in gas and then water is absorbed and your car has problems or is slowed down.
And
@DavidKFla I remember having a Twinkie when I was young and never ate another one.
Take a Look at this Fake crapp!
Ever wondered what’s actually in a Twinkie? It’s a wonder it’s sold as food at all! Find out why it’s the poster child for Frankenfoods below and the key reasons why we’d never touch a Twinkie!
- A single Twinkie contains 37 ingredients, but only 5 of them are ‘recognizable’. Flour. Egg. Water. Sugar. Salt.
- Twinkies’ ingredients are manufactured with fourteen of the top twenty chemicals made in the U.S.
- Wholefood ingredients have been replaced by chemical concoctions. For example, less egg has been used, as they’ve been replaced by monoglycerides and diglycerides - chemicals to bind fats and water-based ingredients, and extend the shelf life of the product.
- It contains harmful ingredients that contribute significant risk to chronic disease including high fructose corn syrup (and 4 other types of sugar!) Yep there’s 5 types of nasty sugar in a Twinkie!
- The unhealthiest kind of fats are lurking in there - hydrogenated vegetable fats (trans fats) which are simply awful for your health!
- The vitamins, artificial colors, and flavorings come from petroleum.
- The cream center contains absolutely no cream! Instead, it’s full of shortening - a cheap fat.
- It also contains a small amount of sodium stearate - one of the most common ingredients found in soap! No thank you!
- So many of the ingredients come from overseas including China, where there are hardly any regulations placed on their use. Scary!
