because most of those unpronounceable ingredients are vitamins.

People freak the hell out about the cyanocobalamin in their bread, too dumb to look it up and find out it's B-12.

What discourages me from eating a lot of processed foods is the salt. I've managed to cure my hypertension somehow (I wish I could tell you how, I'd write a book and become rich and famous) and I'm keeping the salt intake very low because I don't want to go on those nasty pills again because I'm tired of blacking out on them.

How does a study that the article describes as "small" prove something does not affect merrily May 2014 #7

You do realize that the study that showed a possibility of gluten sensitivity was even smaller... HuckleB May 2014 #9

Actually, I am disagreeing with the premise that this particular study showed much of anything. merrily May 2014 #14
