I'll Take Some Fish with That Tropicana

Professor Hermes brought up the concept of putting fish oil into orange juice the other day, and how many companies are substituting it for high fructose corn syrup. I found this article which talks about the benefits of fish oil, and how many companies hope to expand it from just orange juice, to many other foods such as milk, yogurt, and tortillas. Also, the article talks about other healthy ingredients that companies are plugging into their foods, a term called nutraceuticals. Food companies are breaking down everything from powdered beets to bananas, to put into other foods to make them nutritious. It's a really interesting article, so check out the rest of it here!
