Yes, there is a wood pulp burgers

On Monday, the quartz published an article titled, "Devin Cohen is the secret ingredient in Your burgers: wood. Because the title and people already have a suspicion for all the hidden foods in a shady and possibly dangerous substances, the article got a lot of grip.

In the following days, most of the journalists and bloggers are concentrated additive (ambiguous), and whether the whole food chain, as the only fast food (it appears to be) the dangers.

One angle that has not been studied as much is the general trend. Let's go ahead and assume that the tree is a safe way to consume, it sure looks like there is no nutritional value at all. So why are the companies its inclusion in foods?

To mask inflation and earn more profit is likely to be. This was an important theme in the last year, I focused on several pieces of stealth inflation and food smuggling, a couple of which can be read below:

New study shows 59% of "tuna" is sold in the United States there is no bluefin tuna

New research shows: Food fraud has risen by 60% from last year

The Quartz article says that:

there may be more fiber in your food than you realized. Burger King, McDonald's and other fast food companies to list the ingredients in many foods, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) or "minced cellulose" as part of their menu. Or in plain English from wood pulp.

Emulsion-stabilizing, anti-caking ingredient works, stick to the improvement of a number of different names, ranging from powdered cellulose-methylcellulose cellulose powder, cellulose gum. This entrance is the fibre of fast food raw materials-absorbable stealthy, still wide: a compound now found in the buns, cheeses, sauces, cakes, rolls, shakes, fries, onion rings, smoothies, meat-basically everything.

This filler cost efficiency has driven many of the chains used to progressively less "chicken" chicken and cream of their "ice cream". ?

This is the part that really interests me. When we did these companies first introduced this substance in their products, and what is a growing trend? My guess is that because food prices have risen, the proportion of nutritonal fillers has grown considerably. Having said this, I would like to see some information, and I'm still not.

My big takeaway is the same as last year, when I started to write about the trend. The price of food continues to rise, not paying attention to what you eat the cost rises exponentially. Companies continue to try to mask inflation by shrinking package sizes, and when it is no longer possible, growing by adding empty fillers (or worse) into their products.

At the same time, the next video is to tell the scam ingredients in McDonald 's, say, in Chicken McNuggets.

On a related note, if you have not read my last post of BPA, surely the time: national geographic reports-chemicals cause infertility in pigs are present throughout the human consumption of the goods.

Bon appétit.
