The other day, my cousin posted a picture on Facebook of the grocery store shelves with the caption: “Looks more like poison every day.” 😔 As a food scientist, comments like this really hit home. It’s understandable to feel concerned about the ingredients in our food, especially when unfamiliar names sound intimidating or confusing. To help ease these concerns, in my latest YouTube video, I break down 15 food ingredients that might sound alarming but are actually harmless and often beneficial. 🌟 From tocopherols (Vitamin E) that keep your salad dressing fresh 🥗 to lactic acid that prevents spoilage while adding flavor 🥨, these “scary” names have fascinating roles in the foods we eat. 👉 Watch to learn: ✅ Why these ingredients are used ✅ How they keep your food safe, nutritious, and delicious ✅ What the science says about their safety #FoodScience #FoodProcessing #CulinaryArts https://lnkd.in/gqC9ksF5

Did you know Thursday was National Food Day? I didn't either, but I think it's important! The theme for National Food Day is "Eat Real," which means cutting back on sugary drinks, overly processed foods, and factory-farmed meats and focusing on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and sustainably raised protein! All great things to focus on! So, if you missed it, how about using TODAY to celebrate National Food Day by trying something you don't usually do: - Read food labels when you go to the grocery store - Try a food you've never tried before - Discover a healthier way to cook your favorite foods Post in the comments what you will do to celebrate National Food Day!
