From My E-Book, Sugar's Sour Story:
Very often,
a processed food will include ingredients that look just like the real
thing--but really isn’t. For example, a
client recently told me she was shocked to read the label on her package of
marshmallows. They had an extremely low protein count and she couldn’t
understand why. “Don’t you make
marshmallow by whipping egg whites? She insisted: "And
aren’t egg whites pure protein?”
Yes, I explained, that’s how you’d make homemade
marshmallow, but those mass-produced, highly processed little pillows aren’t
really marshmallow. They only look like it and are really made with things like
sugar, corn starch and gelatin. Corn starch, which is used as a thickener in a
lot of sauces and gravies, is turned into sugar by the body. It’s also
suggested that it might raise LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. Depending on the type of gelatin used, it may
contain high levels of sugar—so you’d really be getting a double or triple
sugar whammy.
