Fun fact - when you see the words “enriched” or “fortified” on products, that’s a very good thing. Enriched foods have nutrients (vitamins and minerals) added back that were lost during processing. Best examples of this are bread, pasta, and other products made from white flour that have B vitamins added back.

Fortified foods contain additional nutrients that they do not contain naturally. A big example is milk, which is usually fortified with vitamin D.

Vitamins and minerals are also written out in their name entirety on food ingredient labels.

This is the kind of history we should want repeated.

Just some fun facts for you. MSG has actually been proven safe and many people don’t realize that it is naturally found in tomatoes and cheese. It’s perfectly safe and even is a great choice if you’re trying to cut back on sodium since it contains less than salt. And the negativity surrounding it was due to xenophobia.

New newsletter is out today. There should be zero surprise about what’s happening currently regarding food and how we view it. Why? Because history repeats itself.

Or we can call it what it is... eugenics.
