Alien Ingredients

spam3_1.jpgIf this doesn’t make you turn green (literally and figuratively), our guess is that not much probably will.

Due out in March, Steve Ettlinger’s book, “Twinkie Reconstructed,” delves into the alien ingredients found on the labels of most of America’s food. Ettlinger’s narrative uncovers the mysteries behind the most common processed food ingredients and doubles as an educational look into the food industry. Check it out, if only because you want to know what polysorbate 60 is. And then pat yourself on the back during your next Whole Foods trip.

“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 Steve Ettlinger. On Sale in March, (Simon and Schuster).
