Processed vs. Whole Food: A Stomach’s Perspective

Yesterday the Fooducate Blog posted a really cool video on the different impact between whole and process foods once they are digested by the body.  This project came from the idea that while we know processed foods are not as good as whole ones, no one actually knows what kind of an impact they have once they are inside the body.

The screen on the left is after a person imbibed blue Gatorade - as you can see the dye from the dye from the drink can still be seen once it hits the intestines.  The one on the right is from a "whole food" drink with no color.  It definitely makes you think about what other chemicals/dyes are doing once they start to break down inside the body.
