The bottom line was none of the OTC probiotics do anything yet they cannot be taken off the shelves.
Just one more example of the inept laws and individuals behind the corrupt, sleazy, and underhanded food regulation industry.The bottom line was none of the OTC probiotics do anything yet they cannot be taken off the shelves.
Kinda like the sawdust that used to be in Sunbeam bread?Just one more example of the inept laws and individuals behind the corrupt, sleazy, and underhanded food regulation industry.
When it's a known fact that a percentage of store-bought parmesan cheese has wood pulp (YES, WOOD PULP) added to it, as consumers, that tells us everything we need to know, not only from the standpoint of being RIPPED OFF at the checkout, but being exposed to potential cancer causing agents (AS CAN BE READILY FOUND IN DARK SODA POP SUCH AS COCA COLA), to ingesting food that has other questionable ingredients and fillers added to it.
It's insulting to say the least.
Nothing like being charged top dollar for garbage product! Fiber awareness, my rear-end! The added cellulose they add equates to nothing more than one more avenue in which manufacturers can rip consumers off, and it's despicable!https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-cellulose-1328464
How Cellulose Is Used in Food
Fiber Supplement: With rising awareness about fiber intake, cellulose has become one of the most popular food additives.
Anti-caking: Cellulose’s ability to absorb moisture and coat ingredients in a fine powder makes it the ingredient of choice for anti-caking applications. Shredded and grated cheeses, spice mixes, and powdered drink mixes are just a few of the many food items that take advantage of cellulose as an anti-caking agent.
And it's the same product kitchen sponges are made from...?Nothing like being charged top dollar for garbage product! Fiber awareness, my rear-end! The added cellulose they add equates to nothing more than one more avenue in which manufacturers can rip consumers off, and it's despicable!
O.K. So then it's not wood chips is it? And it's not cellulose like kitchen sponges? The percentages and content of everything have to be on the label.
Buy local. They don't use preservatives because they want the bread to go stale so you need to buy more.
Just common wood pulp.And it's the same product kitchen sponges are made from...?

Yup.. if you want more fiber in your diet but don't want to waste money on fancy, expensive "supplements," just munch down one of those sponges on your kitchen sink.Just common wood pulp.
I don't know if it is still true but requiring the percentages applied only if the number was enough to be counted back when.O.K. So then it's not wood chips is it? And it's not cellulose like kitchen sponges? The percentages and content of everything have to be on the label.
