However, an acceptable level is 2% to 4%. All plant matter contains cellulose, WTF do you think your salad is composed of, eat an apple or your flakey wakies with raisins you're consuming mostly cellulose, every slice of bread contains cellulose. I'd much rather a bit of cellulose as an anti-clumping agent than some chemical I can't even pronounce its name. Anyways the answer is grate your own cheese, you lazy leroy bastid!. |
