Excerpt from Dr. Mark Hyman:
You could be eating sawdust -- and not even know it!
Sound crazy?
Let me explain.
On a recent plane ride to a medical conference, I started a conversation with the man sitting next to me to pass the time. I told him that I was a physician working in the area of nutrition.
He exclaimed that the new low-carb craze was a boon for business. I assumed he was in the food business -- but I was wrong.
When I asked him what he did for a living, he replied that he worked in the wood pulp industry.
So what�s the connection between wood pulp and low carbs?
As it turns out, cellulose -- an indigestible fiber starch -- is one of the main ingredients in processed low-carb foods.
And what�s another name for cellulose?
Sawdust!
