<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ghostchild, post: 1956640, member: 24880&quot;]We here this word &#039;processed&#039; food, thrown around quite a bit...but how many people actually know what that is, as applied to food items or the prepreation of food items?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.glitter-graphics.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.glitter-graphics.com" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://dl10.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1896/1896050at0c4so4jz.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Processed foods have been altered from their natural state, for safety reasons and for convience...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Examples of processed meats would be </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Hot dogs, sausage, boloni meat...(darn!)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Milk is also a processed food...cause it&#039;s &#039;pasturized and homogenized...(hey watch it buddy)...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But not all processed foods are bad for you...like frozen vegetables, and or frozen fish, which allow for long storage before eating...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And the benefits of processed foods help to fight food born bacteria, and allows food to make it from origon to destination without spoiling...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The main set back of processed foods are the &#039;additives, like <span style="color: darkred"><b>Red 40</b>..<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25513.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25513:" unselectable="on" /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black">I&#039;m learning more about this additive or food coloring, and will do a post on it soon...</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Food processing can also improove the life of some, who have allergies, and can&#039;t ingest certain raw food products or ingrediants...</p><p>Also, food processing can add vitimans and nutrients to an item...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are some processed foods below..</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.fullissue.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/processed-foods.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know, I know...like me your probablly saying &#039;heck, that&#039;s everything I eat&#039;...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25521.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25521:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess the main thing is to look at the ingrediants...make sure stuff like Red 40 isn&#039;t in it, or <span style="color: red"><b>brominated vegitable oil</b></span><span style="color: black">, that&#039;s definatly a no no...</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mountain Dew contains Brominated oil...not good...here, read about it for yourself...The main ingriedent in BVO is a poison...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And among other things it&#039;s used as an additive for gasoline...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://wap-app.com/others112_files/oth-gasoline_can.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://fooddemocracy.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/bvo-brominated-vegetable-oil-toxic-additive-in-many-sports-drinks-and-sodas/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://fooddemocracy.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/bvo-brominated-vegetable-oil-toxic-additive-in-many-sports-drinks-and-sodas/" rel="nofollow">http://fooddemocracy.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/bvo-brominated-vegetable-oil-toxic-additive-in-many-sports-drinks-and-sodas/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also...two terms we here a lot...but I doubt many know what they mean...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Homonigized (milk)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ok, in my own clumsy words...Homonigized milk is a process in which fat cells in milk are reduced in size, so that they don&#039;t &#039;float&#039; on top...the way people use to like it...the milk is like squeezed through a nozzle, and the fat molecules are broken up...so that the milk is more &#039;mixed&#039;...cause all milk is is a mixture of fat and water...and fat always floats on top...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://truefoodmovement.com/wp-content/uploads/raw-milk.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But people use to actually prefer it like that, up until around the 1950&#039;s...people would judge the quality of milk by the layer of cream at the top...(boy how times have changed)...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Pasturized (milk)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And Pasturized milk is simply milk that has been &#039;heated&#039; to kill of bacteria...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
