FLR 046: On Canned Fat, Junk Food Cells, Fake Fiber, and Fast Food Mashups

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:  None This is another show dedicated to news stories about processed foods and trends.  The food industry never stays static, so you and I have to stay on our toes to be aware of the changes constantly happening.  In this episode I’ll discuss the following: (1) the evolution of a very old product that your great grandma probably used; (2) how scientists can observe the effects of junk food at the cellular level; (3) the missing nutrient from our diet that undermines our health; and (4) how fast food can get even more unhealthier than it is.
