The popular Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Strawberry Soft Baked Breakfast Bars sold in America contain the same chemical used in wallpaper glue. (Our food is a joke.)

🤡 These Are Kinda Sticky 🤡
Wallpaper glue used to be flour and water. Just saying.
When I was young and we were poor (but didn't know that we were), that's how we made glue and paper mache'
YES! We made lots of wonderful things! and didn't even know we were poor!
And poor was NOT an excuse for anything, including bad manners and poor grades.
OH NO! We raised vegetables and bottle calves and milked cows, we sewed our own clothes!
Yes, indeed. And we lived in clean houses and our two homemade dresses for school were always clean, starched and ironed. How did our mothers do it all?
YES and I was the eldest daughter but I also had hand-me-down clothes from my cousins! Which I thought was very cool indeed! Besides the hand made clothes! Weren't we so fortunate?!? Imagine having to want store made clothing of whatever fashion was designed to make the previous fashion out of style! We were totally immune to that!
My mother was a master seamstress. I loved Jackie Kennedy's style as a teen and my mother copied the picture. And the amazing thing was the inside of the garment was as perfect as the outside. I was one of the best dressed kids in my class. Scarlett O'Hara"s green curtain creation was garish compared to my mom's work.
Haha! I completely forgot about that! We did that as well.
Yeah the scary part isn’t the cellulose. The scary part should be the pesticides used to grow the cellulose and the preservatives stopping fungus from eating it.
IMO the sickening amount of sugar and over-processed trash flour used in those things is far worse for your body than the tiny amount of methylcellulose.
Yes, processed food contains a lot of additional chemicals in order to help the production process / stop spoillage / maintain product characterustics over its shelf life.
But what this clickbait type of info sadly fails to mention is that all the additives added during production need to be of food grade quality (ie not harmful if consumed)
The big problem is the definition of “food grade quality”. Most of the additives used in American food are banned in Europe, for a reason.
This is not exactly true. There are done things banned there and used here; and vice versa. Everyone forgets the other dude of it.
I live there half the year. You'd be surprised what's in some of the food, abs good they don't have to disclose quote the same way.
"food grade" goyslop
Reminder that they can change the definition of "Food Grade" any time they want.
Lots of toxic chemicals have long been "generally regarded as safe": https://www.fda.gov/food/food-ingredients-packaging/generally-recognized-safe-gras Also probably not the best idea to buy food from a company that was founded by a world-renowned eugenicist and "population control" enthusiast: https://sph.umich.edu/pursuit/2022posts/the-impact-of-dr-john-harvey-kelloggs-stand-for-eugenics.html
Methylcellulose is an inert ingredient also used in bulk type laxatives.
Yeah there’s a lot of clickbait slop these days. Guess we are all just killing time waiting around for some actual arrests to start. Come on president trump can we pretty please arrest someone corrupt now?
We can’t be taken seriously because people don’t do their own research into this clickbait trash and repost like methylcellulose is as bad as arsenic.
Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on earth. It is the molecule found in the cell walls of plants. It is an emulsifier. It is nontoxic.
Water is also a chemical. We need to do better about outrage being targeted toward actually toxic ingredients in our food supply rather than whatever this is.
I agree.
Probably easier to find what isnt poisoned at this point.
What's Killoggs?
WTP banned their shit years ago.
I do sometimes miss those pop-tarts though...
Years ago I watched lots of food documentaries, and I remember the woman saying by and large, most cereals are less nutritious than if you ate the cardboard box they came in. I do like a good granola instead.
Will be wonderful when real food will be readily available here. Travelling abroad is a huge red pill for anyone with taste buds - so many Americans don't even know what they're missing!
Perfect for democrat wall lickers!
Americans will eat a heaping pile of dog shit if you mix enough sugar and chocolate in it and package it in a pretty box!!
Shop at ALDI and you'll notice a big difference. Read the labels.
Aldi is a German grocery store, so you'll find a lot of European packaged foods.
You'll still find Mac&Cheese boxes and other U.S. common products, but alongside those are European side dish stuff. You'll find European breakfast bars.
They have far fewer chemicals and additives.
You're more likely to find fewer artificial food dyes, less preservatives and fewer non-food chemicals, but you have to read labels.
Stay tuned... I'm going to drop a MAHA post later about this ingredient... It's in practically EVERYTHING and few have even heard of it.
As far as this thread is concerned - it's not really "on the level" for this board.
Claiming it's the "same ingredient found in wallpaper paste" is ghey.... Why not list dihydrogen monoxide - ALSO found in both???
Methylcellulose is in bulk type laxatives. It has nothing to do with carrageenan, which is code for seaweed. The FDA allows companies to use euphemisms for ingredients that might turn off consumers. Another example is canola oil, which is actually rape seed oil. Rape is a green, similar to kale and spinach, that has a ton of seeds that can have the oil pressed from them. If you have a home press, you can do the very same thing with collard seeds.
Correct.
I don't believe I made the assertion that it did.
Simply that these bars contained it AND that I'd be exposing it soon and its significance. Researching & for the heck of it, plugged these bars into the query
You started with this statement: "Yes, standard Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Strawberry Soft Baked Breakfast Bars do contain carrageenan." The post said methylcellulose. You seem to imply that carrageenan is the same as methylcellulose, when it's not so. That's all I pointed out.
I have a research background in cellulose, its a harmless biological ingredient that can be used for many things
Water is also in the bars…
Methylcellulose is not digestible, non-toxic, and non-allergenic. It’s also made from plants, just like fibre!!
Don’t be scared because they use scientific names in ingredients.
Most people never took chemistry, and most of those who did don't remember a bit of it. They can't even pronounce the chemical names and seem to be proud of that fact. I took chemistry in high school and college, and I can pronounce all the chemical names in food products.
Methylcellulose is used as a thickener and a bulk laxative. Many chemicals have multiple uses. For example, benzoyl peroxide is found in both Oxy pads for acne and in the hardener for Bondo. Dexatrim weight loss capsules used to contain the same active ingredient as found in 4-Way nasal spray. I used to read labels a lot.
Methylcellulose is nondigestible and inert. It thickens and adds to the bulk of many things. Read your labels, if you don't want those things.
