O.M.G. I can't express how happy I am that I decided to cut processed white foods out of my diet (bread, rice, etc.), that I prefer Italian dressing, don't like shirmp or jelly beans, and that my mushrooms are always fresh!

(Don't read the article if you're really into white breads/grains, shrimp, white creamy dressings, jelly beans or canned mushrooms...)

Mind. Blown.

    Yeah, there's a ton of junk that 'the powers that be' consider food - it just isn't.

    It is amazing, but wild caught is much better for you and the environment than farmed shrimp.

    The article didn't say it was only white bread that had L-cysteine. I would imagine it's found in many whole grain breads as well.

    I wonder if the mushroom part is the same for all canned vegetables? I can't stand anything but fresh vegetables but I have a friend that will ONLY eat green beans, carrots, corn, etc out of a can.

    Eww... the canned mushrooms... 19??? *gag*

    I also ready that any tomato products - it ketchup, sauce, paste etc is mostly rotten tomatoes ... same goes with fruit juices.

    read this earlier on yahoo health. I was grossed out as well. Thankfully, I haven't been eating any of that stuff recently. *shiver*
