One of the most common food ingredients we have in our home is parmesan cheese. While it is mainly used to sprinkle over pasta, it is great for pizza, scrambled eggs, and any other food you may think of because-well, it’s cheese! Of course, you would.

But guess what? You are eating sawdust! Not entirely, obviously! Just about 8-9 percent. The FDA found that some brands of parmesan cheese contain cellulose which is just another fancy word for wood pulp.

So when reading a label, if it says 100% cheese”, check the back to see if the word cellulose is anywhere in there and if it is, you may have the same taste in food as Beartie Beaver!
