What's Really in Your Food?
We know fast food is, for the most part, crap. Not surprisingly, the food industry doesn’t want us to know what’s really in that box of fried chicken or that burger- we’re talking preservatives, coloring agents, additives, and sweeteners made with actual chemical warfare agents, just to name a few of the things that should scare all of us right out of the drive-thru line.
That's why we have author and food chemist, Mel Weinstein, here to answer your questions about some of those "ingredients" found in our food. What's healthy or not? What should we know about dining out? What are some of Mel's "thumbs up" ingredients?
Mel worked as an analytical chemist for over 20 years in a research center for a multinational food ingredients company and studied food science at the graduate level. He also taught chemistry at the college level for 10 years, so it has been his passion for decades to study industrial foods and explore the purpose of additives and their impact on health.
