FLR 016: Fake Toppings - Cool Whip & Cheez Whiz

In today’s show, I’m going investigate two very popular toppings in the processed food industry, namely Kraft’s Cool Whip and Cheez Whiz.  It seems like those products have been around forever.  What are they made of?  Are they okay to eat from a health and nutrition perspective?  If you’ve been consuming them, should you continue?  This episode will give you the skinny on those processed foods, plus I’ll take a look at a new product on the grocery store shelves.
