Who eats wood?

 Incredible, craziness....but Im not surprised. Read this and see how food companies feed you wood. This is why its important to cook your own food and not buy pre-packed items:

Oh, cellulose is hardy "wood".  You might call a carrot a "farm" or a steak a "cow".  We eat natural sources of cellulose all the time.  You'll also find cellulose in many vitamins and pills.  There's lots of things to worry about in processed food, but I'd suggest cellulose isn't one of them.

Definitely with you on cooking your own food and forgoing prepackaged stuff.

Looks like another classic alarmist website. Here's another good one to look into, one that's critically important to us with our hydration issues:

 I do!  I do!  Erythitol is made from Birch!  (at least the good stuff is!) yum.  Natural sweetness minimal blood sugar impact and no intestinal distress woo hoo I heart eating wood products.  lol ;)  

OK I do get the point but I tend to agree with the previous poster who said cellulose is in alot of products and I would not necessarily call it wood, just as I would not call erythitol wood.  But, it's kinda like msg, or arsenic, which exist naturally in SMALL amounts in natural foods.  However, we isolate and process things to the point where they are completely *******ized. That's when it gets sick.  Where do we draw the line?

ETA the website you posted talks about how we don't digest cellulose like it's a bad thing.  Both soluble AND insoluble fibers (cellulose) are good for us??

Functions of Insoluble Fiber
move bulk through the intestines
control / balance the pH (acidity) in the intestines

Benefits of Insoluble Fiber
promote regular bowel movement and prevent constipation remove toxic waste through colon in less time help prevent colon cancer by keeping an optimal pH in intestines to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances
