    Food Unwrapped is likely one of the most enlightening documentaries I seen in ages, there is a bit of a mysticism about how the food industry works and they make it way more clear. As this automation becomes and more core to our daily life, it's good to see how things work before products arrive at the supermarkets.

    So the first one is ultra processed. Much more than 20% of nutrients are lost. Adding vitamins back in means they're synthetic, and not as bio available as natural vitamins from the food itself.

    maybe just some marketing ploy to have 'cold pressed' but it indeed has been heated, just not using heat.

      Our bodies are chemical factories, just because something has chemicals in it doesn't mean it's bad for you and there is no reason for you to judge them. For example: Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a chemical that exists in many foods so therefore I could say that my food has chemicals in it but it could actually be beneficial for it to be present. A potent example of beneficial chemical additive is the making of Iodized salt which essentially cured people of Goiter caused by severe Iodine deficiency.

    So theyre pressure canning like you would with jam or any canned preserves that grandmothers and mothers make to preserve their harvest like what vacuum sealing with food bags, hot water sealing traditonally creating a vacuum to seal the lid... i mean i get that the tech is all flashy but these arent new concepts.

    • @BaronSamedi1959
      @BaronSamedi1959 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      No no no. The making of jam is all about heat-treatment (sterilization or pasteurization) and lots of sugar. The vacuum is only to seal the jar or can so no additional bacteria can get in. There is never any overpressure in a jam jar. Rather the other way around: the lower pressure sucks the lid on.
      So the hyperbaric method is entirely new.

      That sodalist thinking is why many countries cant feed their kids, it make no sense and just wrong. More waste the more food cost corporations account for it. Business is way more complicated than you think. Fair market keeps prices stable. Corporations don't stock product that last a year in hopes of profit. They make it last a year because the consumer choose that option. If it lasted half as long: then in your minds thinking a corporation would profit more A greedy corporation would want you to buy a short shelf life product use your head. Designed obsolescence is the cornerstone of greed

    The problem is that a lot of nutrients aren't vitamins. They can't replace the micro-nutrients that are destroyed, which is why manufactured foods are so much less nutritious than non-processed foods.

    • @eboracum
      @eboracum 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals, and they talk about how much vitamin content is preserved in these methods. They don't explicitly talk about minerals, but I imagine minerals are 100% preserved because those are basic elements (iron, magnesium, etc) and much more stable than the organic molecules of vitamins.

      Ok then buy the expensive food, most people want a balance of price. babies get plenty of everything they need either way. I don't see rickets, scurvy or any malnutrition a problem with any well fed baby. If nutrients were an issue you would know about it. Unless you are in a space station or the South Pole for 6 months nutritional deficiency is not an issue, especially in a 1st world country. I wouldn't doubt that many get way more than their daily allowance recommendations. Imagine having 3x less stock pf baby food look at all the BS Biden admin is pulling its critical or was critical imagine 3x worse. A non factor of nutrition vs no nutrition you do the math. All my kids ate long shelf life never had one time was a lack of nutrition was an issue
