Now that I’ve finished Twinkie, Deconstructed I may have to go back and give it a read. I was riveted by Ettlinger’s descriptions of the physical processing that goes into some of our most common foods: the combines and computers, the machines and the tubes, vats, barns silos, trucks, scientists…
Here are some fun facts from Twinkie, Deconstructed :
Wheat flour dust is highly explosive [as is custard powder, instant coffee, dried milk, potato powder and soup powder].
Ferrous sulfate or the iron in enriched wheat flour come from iron ore mines as well as being a byproduct of crude oil [petroleum].
Cane/beet sugar and its derivatives have many industrial uses: as a flame retardant and plasticizer in polyurethane foam, as ink for printing on plastic bags, for curing tobacco, for cleaning out cement mixers, for soaking moisture in wounds and it can be substituted for charcoal in gunpowder or mixed with saltpeter for make smoke bombs.
Corn and its derivatives [half of which are genetically modified to resist a widely used herbicide] contribute to over 600 industrial and food products including auto fuel, pharmaceuticals, plastic fibers, starches, sweet drinks, and snack cakes.
One derivative of corn syrup, glucose, can be found in Twinkies as well as tobacco, shoe leather, adhesives, concrete, air fresheners, hand lotion and perfume.
Another derivative, cornstarch makes more cardboard than cake.
Soybean oil is also used to make paint, rubber, caulk, adhesive tape, leather softeners and diesel fuel.
Cellulose fiber is used in rayon, cellophane, sausage casing, cigarette filters and paint additives; LCD panels, wide screen plasma TVs, and outdoor billboards. Only pure gum is reserved for food.
Cellulose gum can be found in bulk laxatives, cosmetics, toothpaste, denture adhesives and ceramic glaze; other forms of the gum are used in diapers, napkins, drilling fluids, liquid detergents.
Soda ash, the sodium in baking soda is mined Trona and is the basic chemical ingredient in glass and soap.
Phosphorus one of three main components of baking powder explodes upon contact with air.
Polysorbate 60 is an incredibly complicated processed emulsifier comprised of sorbitol a corn based sweetener; stearic acid from palm tree oil [a main ingredient in soap]; and ethylene oxide-the main ingredient in PET plastics!
If I hadn’t already eliminated most processed foods, after reading this book, I would start, immediately. Except, and there is a huge except here, as you can read this stuff is in food as well as the non-edibles in your home, the office, in your kids’ toys: in every aspect of your life. Unless you literally go and live in a cave you are, we are, part of a larger system.

http://allergicgirl.blogspot.com/wah sheesh that was interesting! mouthful to read but like whoa, wheat flour dust is highly explosive. imagine, put a spoonful in your mouth, place a lighter near it, and kaboom! haha bye bye teeth. and see see, that's why coffee is NOT good. reminds me of one chem lesson we had, when we were learning about ethanol (C2H5OH, wahahaha i can still remember) and emc was joking along the lines of its flammability. haha ok i don't make sense but, aye, good times those were. compared to like, NOW.
AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!prelims have been utter rubbish.
i mean, chem was horribly disappointing, considering that was the subject which i put the most effort in to and AHAHAHA look how it helped.
hist was actually ok, though sbq was discombobulating since i had no idea what was the korean war all about.
chi was !@#$%^&*()
ss was er, really er, ER. ok get my point.
lit was tiring, like fish it my palms and fingers hurt can i please stop writing.
amath was disgusting. both.
emath was hahaha i think onson's going to kill me when he sees my results.
thanks!
anyway, i watched the mv for candyman again, after seeing a video where
benji schwimmer (!) said, "who was that guy swing dancing her? me!" i was like, my word my word my word.
and ARRRRRGHHH it really is him!!!!!!!!!!!! like holey kamoley how cool how cool how cool yes he goes down as my favourite dancer of all time.
anyway, yesterday's episode featured HAIRSPRAY like smashing! but my word, singapore is so frickin slow frickin slow like how slow can it go? a bit in america it's like already finish season 4 and here we are trundling along in season 3.
thanks.
oh did i mention about the fabulously effective study session we had during the september hols? well, it was effective. haha ym was like super ineffective apparently. psp and basketball holds way too much temptation for them.

PRELIMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!yesterday was absolutely smashing like woah.
ok emath was like rubbish, but that's not the point.
roxanne's house after it was like whoosh! her house is beautiful, and the upper floor is like, only her room and the garden? man, privacy that i can only wish for. and we watched
Wall-E! oh my word it's so frickin sweet and moving and heartwarming i must say. pixar, never fails to deliver. wall-e and eve all the way!
ok finally finally left and realised i was super late especially since i
still had to go home and change, so harrumph, kan and i cancelled mama mia out of our plans!!! :( ok so walked around ol' amk hub which is so super boring but too bad, and had breadtalk for dinner wow. went on to church nice and early for dance!
haha oh my there were like how few people and probably only about 830 did the crowd start coming in? but anyway, dance was SMASHING. smashing dance yes it was. casey is a good dj yes! danced and jumped and danced till me knees hurt can you believe that. slow dances the usual few but oh well, better than nothing. haha so yes, anyone who didn't go last night TOTALLY MISSED OUT. hahaha too bad so sad why bother studying when it's only a few hours?!
ok more updates of my not-very-exciting past weeks next time next time if i ever have time or remember, whichever comes first,
adieu.
