Unfortunately, all I can find is the abstract on PNAS, which doesn't give much of anything to look at. I'm not sure if anyone else has taken the time to look at the study either. Cheers Scott Terry,

It's a wonder I'm not preserved for ages to come. Sarena, I grabbed the Cool Whip thing from your post on the PM I think. Terry, Love the cake story. It reminds me of the experiment the Super Size Me guy, Morgan Spurlock, did where he put everything in jars and the fries were still looking like fries several weeks later after everything else had degraded and rotted.

When I first got it, I sent it to everyone I know. Gross what fake foods are when you think about them!! Real food for real people!!

Thanks for the continued great posts Scott. Very enjoyable! Marc “Turok theorizes that neither time nor the universe has a beginning or end.”

How do they know that in women with breast cancer vitamin D isn't being sequestered or conversion down regulated? Something like what happens with iron. I have a similar horror story about fake food. About 1980 or '81 just before the big push to remove artificil preservatives from foods I baked a choclate cake from a commercial cake mix and used canned icing. At the time, I lived in a second story apartment with a balcony. A piece of cake was accidently dropped from the balcony into the juniper and bark covered planting below. I didn't bother to retrieve it because I figured the ants would carry it away in a day or two. Now, I could see this piece of cake everytime I walked by it on my way to my car and it didn't go away. In fact is stayed absolutely pristine looking for weeks and this was in California in the summer time! The ants that were crawling all over the place never touched it. I think the hardened slice was eventually cleaned up by someone. I was totally grossed out and didn't touch a cake mix for years. This cool whip experiment is also a good way to know if ice cream is real. Any ice cream that holds it general shape over night, I don't eat. Real ice cream should be a puddle in less than an hour or so depending on temerature.
