Sunday Seven

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
Pull a couple of items off your pantry and cupboard shelves.  Pick items that you eat fairly regularly.  (You might be able to get seven answers from one single item, depending on what you choose.)  Now list up to seven things in the Ingredients that you don't recognize.  It's an interesting way to see what you're eating...whether you like it or not!

Kay, it's a little late but, screw that. Let's go see...

Maltodextrin (Dad's Instant Coffee), Carrageenan (part of cream in the caramel wraps), Momcalcium phosphate and ammonium bicarbonate (both part of leavening in goldfish), tetrasodium pyrophosphate (marshmallows), and I just hit the motherload. In a slim-fast optima creamy milk chocolate shake, I don't recognize...

alkali.
gum arabic.
calcium caseinate.
potassium phosphate.
soybean lecithin.
carrageenan.
maltodextrin.
sucralose.
othophosphate.
niacinamide.
pyrodoxine hydrochloride.
chromium chloride.
phylloquinone.
sodium sleente.
cyanccobalamin.
cholecalciferol.

Yes, I realize some of these are repeated and no I don't eat all of these regularly. But I used to drink the slim-fast drink every morning! What have I been putting into my body!?
