		<description>About a year ago a friend recommended I read &quot;Twinkie Deconstructed&quot;.

http://www.twinkiedeconstructed.com/

After reading this book you will view &quot;processed food&quot; in a whole new light. The amount of science and processing involved in making a &quot;synthetic egg&quot; for example, is absolutely stunning, bordering on unbelievable. All in the name of shelf life. 

This book is a great eye opener!</description>

		<description>Ultimately, that&#039;s where people need to be, IMHO... I dislike knee jerk admonitions like, &quot;don&#039;t eat processed foods&quot; or &quot;don&#039;t eat it if you can&#039;t pronounce the ingredients&quot;, as these basically translate to: &quot;don&#039;t bother trying to figure out what you&#039;re putting in your mouth&quot;.  Such proscriptions may help people get started, but they&#039;re not enough, if the goal is to achieve long term control over your health and body composition. 

That&#039;s really the benefit of resources like the Bodybuilding Revealed forum... ultimately, the more you know about training, nutrition, injury prevention, rehab, etc., then the more control you have over the outcome.  I know nutrition writers are trying to avoid information overload, but - in the end - advising your readers to NOT try to understand what they&#039;re doing is a &quot;penny wise, pound foolish&quot; approach.

The &quot;additions&quot; issue is a great example: &quot;cyanocobalamin&quot; is an addition... so are &quot;dipotassium phosphate&quot; and &quot;fructooligosaccharides&quot;.  Many people would not know that these are perfectly harmless, and even healthful, additions, so telling them they should be fearful of ingredients they can&#039;t pronounce can lead to faulty conclusions about individual products (the above ingredients were taken from the label of a perfectly decent meal replacement product, lol).</description>

		<description>I agree that all foods are processed to some degree. I think the ones that are &quot;minimally&quot; processed without a lot of &quot;additions&quot; are fine.

It seems easy to have people bash &quot;processed foods&quot; because of all the &quot;additions&quot; in some. It seems to me all you need to do is read the label and decide for yourself.</description>
