FLR 060: On Saltiness, Sweetness, “Toxicness”, and Fatness

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:  None

Today, I’ve decided to do a news show.  Every so often I report on significant news stories from the world of processed foods.  The four stories reviewed in today’s program all came from recent posts on the FLR Facebook page, but, as usual, I’m not just going to read these articles, but I’ll summarize and provide commentary when necessary.  These kinds of news stories often don’t get covered by the major news outlets or, in the print media, they may get pushed to the back of an issue.  However, sometimes these articles provide good and useful information, which you might want to tuck in the back of your head for future reference.
