Twinkie, deconstructed : my journey to discover how the ingredients found in processed foods are grown, mined (yes, mined), and manipulated into what America eats / by Ettlinger, Steve.(CARDINAL)352939;
Where does Polysorbate 60 Come From, Daddy? -- Wheat Flour -- Bleach -- Enrichment Blend: Ferrous Sulfate and "B" vitamins (niacin, thiamine mononitrate (B1), riboflavin (B2), folic acid) -- Sugar -- Corn Sweeteners -- Corn Syrup, Dextrose, Glucose, and High Fructose Corn Syrup -- Corn Thickeners (Cornstarch, Modified Cornstarch, Corn Dextrins, Corn Flour) Water -- Soy (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable and/or Animal Shortening, Soy Lecithin, and Soy Protein Isolate) -- Eggs -- Cellulose Gum -- Whey -- Leavenings -- Baking Soda -- Phosphates (Sodium acid pyrophosphate and monocalcium phosphate) -- Salt -- Mono and Diglycerides -- Polysorbate 60 -- Natural and Artificial Flavors -- Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate -- Sodium and Calcium Caseinate -- Calcium Sulfate -- Sorbic Acid -- Color (FD & C Yellow 5, Red 40) -- Consider the Twinkie.Includes information on amino acids, animal feed, artificial vanilla, baking powder, bread, browning, butter, canola oil, Cargill, chlor/alkali industry, chlorine, corn, cosmetics, cream, Crisco, egg whites, egg yolks, ethylene, ethylene oxide, explosives, fermentation, flour, Food and Drug Administration, food coloring, glycerin, Hostess, hydrochloric acid, hydrogenation, ice cream, Kraft, lime, limestone, monoglycerides, monosodium glutamate (MSG), Monsanto, natural gas, Neutrogena, nitrogen, obesity, oxygen, palm oil, Papett's Hygrade Egg products, petroleum, phosphates, phosphoric acid, plaster, plastic, polysorbates, preservatives, propylene glycol, protein, red no. 40, refined sugar, salad dressings, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, shelf life, shortening, Silver Springs (New York), soap, soda ash, soybean oil, soybeans, stearic acid, sucrose, sugarcane, sulfuric acid, trans fats, trees, triglycerides, Trona, vanilla, vanillin, vitamins, Wise, Wonder Bread, yellow no. 5, etc.Like most Americans, Steve Ettlinger eats processed foods. And, like most consumers, he often reads the ingredients label-without a clue as to what most of it means. So when his young daughter asked, "Daddy, what's polysorbate 60?" he was at a loss-and determined to find out. From the phosphate mines in Idaho to the corn fields in Iowa, from gypsum mines in Oklahoma to the vanilla harvest in Madagascar, Twinkie, Deconstructed is a fascinating, thoroughly researched romp of a narrative that demystifies some of the most common processed food ingredients-where they come from, how they are made, how they are used-and why. Beginning at the source (hint: they're often more closely linked to rock and petroleum than any of the four food groups), we follow each Twinkie ingredient through the process of being crushed, baked, fermented, refined, and/or reacted into a totally unrecognizable goo or powder with a strange name-all for the sake of creating a simple snack cake. An insightful exploration into the food industry, if you've ever wondered what you're eating when you consume foods containing mono- and diglycerides or calcium sulfate (the latter, a food-grade equivalent) this book is for you.

Program participant successes -- Drugs, alcohol, medicines and toxins -- Exposure to hazardous materials -- Appendix: Further study -- Guide to the materials -- Addresses -- Editor's glossary of words, terms and phrases.We live in a drug-oriented society. Drugs pervade our world -- from street drugs and medical drugs, to say nothing of the latest "feel-good" pharmaceuticals. Add to that the thousands of toxic substances we are exposed to on a daily basis, including household chemicals, food preservatives and pesticides, and it's easy to see that no one is immune to this crisis. Through the course of his research into the effects of drugs on the human mind, L.Ron Hubbard made a landmark discovery. Namely, that LSD appeared to remain in a person's body long after they stopped taking the drug. This breakthrough explained why someone who had used LSD in the past could suddenly reactivate a "trip" even years later. His further research revealed that many other toxic substances could also remain in the body, producing negative effects for years to come. The question remained: how can you eradicate these harmful drugs and toxins from your body? The answer is the Purification Program developed by Mr. Hubbard. With the inclusion of a precise regimen of vitamins, minerals and oils, we are able to work toward restoring the biochemical balance of the body and make it possible for the body to reconstruct itself from the damage done by drugs and other biochemical substances. - Publisher.
