So, almost all cow milk sold in supermarkets is ultra-processed by this definition: centrifuged, reconstituted in measured ratios of liquids and solids, and pasteurized. Likewise, non-dairy milk like soy milk, which additionally has gelling agents added to control mouthfeel.
That's a heck of a broad definition!
- ac29 5y ago> soy milk, which additionally has gelling agents added to control mouthfeel I'm sure all brands differ, but the box in my fridge says "Ingredients: Water, Organic Soybeans".
- voakbasda 5y agoAFAIK, if the amount of an ingredient is small enough, it does not need to be listed on the packaging. The label is not authoritatively inclusive. Food for thought.
- foolfoolz 5y agoyes. very similar to how “organic” constitutes a range of acceptable values and does not mean all ingredients are organic (and organic itself does not mean zero pesticides/chemicals)
- Arrath 5y agoExample, Tic Tac mints are essentially entirely sugar yet fall under that threshold so the nutritional information reads '0g' of sugar per serving.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoYes. Coincidently, most modern cow milk is not really good for you.
- legerdemain 5y agoThat's right, paleo cows produced keto-friendly milk back in the stone age.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoHa ha, I maek funny coment. You know cows didn’t change, we just started separating the milk and reconstructing milk-like products. The classic Simpsons ”Malk” gag is not far off.
