    Do you mean protein bars? Cause they may as well be made out of sawdust for all my tastebuds think.

    I think sometimes there's wood pulp in fibrous bread.
    This is actually true. A number of years ago, there was one bread company that got busted for adding sawdust to the bread and not listing it on the list of ingredients. It is still commonly used in bread (not just high fiber bread either). Also, it is used in a number of other products. Look for cellulose as an ingredient. Check in reduced-fat and high-fiber products, and you will likely find it. Wheat Thins Fiber Selects, Aunt Jemima products, Eggos, Cinnabon Bars, Morningstar Buffalo Wings, Weight Watcher's Ice Cream treats, Betty Crocker frostings, McDonald's Filet-o-fish and ice cream, Jimmy Dean breakfast entrees, Just about everything from Taco bell... I could go on.

    SO, sawdust... It's not just for WWII German POW camp prisoners anymore.

    Quit spreading this bullcr*p. Everything's fine as long as it fits your macros.

    But Dr. Oz told me that arsenic is ONE OF THE FOODS YOU SHOULD NEVER EAT!!! People accuse me of orthorexia!

    I have been making my own sawdust at home to make sure it's clean. You should only create sawdust with primal tools also, so it can be Paleo

    Dr Oz is right. Do you think bodybuilders get that way eating any old sawdust "as long as it fits their macros"?

    Here is a great recipe

    1/2 cup food grade wood pulp (cellulose)
    2 oz Castoreum

    Mix together into fun treats.

    You guys are doing it wrong. You're not supposed to eat it. You're supposed to sprinkle it over yourself and recite "Faunus please lighten mine body". I swear I lost 10lbs doing this.

    Just so we're clear here, you're advocating mixing beaver extract and wood . . .

    Using my uniface takes a little extra time but I know that the results are more healthy.

    Don't forget all fruits, vegetables and nuts.

    Cellulose is plant cell walls.
