Question # One:

An old and very popular television commercial would make the statement: “Better living through chemistry”. Did this annoy you because you were trying to avoid pills, chemicals, and over-processed food, and you liked the concept of relying more on the “natural” approach to almost everything?

Question # Two:

Are you cynical about almost everything that sounds too good to be true? Example: Ice-cream made with non-fat milk and no-calorie sweeteners that tastes and feels like regular old ice-cream. Sounds good and it is true!

Question # Three:

Do you think that the differences between an old product and a new one (fat, sugar, salt, etc. removed) are only subtle and thus not worth the effort it takes to make a change to the new product?

Use Science: Let it work for you

Because of the advancements in food science (chemistry), tastes, textures, smells, colors, etc., there many food choices that are dramatically better than the old products. Here are a few:

• Total breakfast cereal in both the blue box (wheat and rice) and yellow box (corn) is miles ahead of other processed and unprocessed cereals in two significant areas:
(1) calcium and (2) vitamin content. (These have 100% of the daily need) Not a
subtle difference!

• Sugar- Free Tang is sweet-tasting (uses a no-calorie sweetener). It is orange in color, tastes like oranges, and has as much Vitamin C as an equivalent amount of regular orange juice. One glass of regular orange juice has a large amount of calories. Sugar-Free Tang has zero calories. Not a subtle difference!
