Editing Total Metal Diet (section)

== Why This Works ==

Food companies are required to include nutrition labels with their products. This allows consumers to check and see if the food fits their diets, and decide if they should buy the product. Nutrition labels will have a lot of information on them, including the amounts of different dietary ingredients that are in them. Some of these vitamins, minerals, sugars and fats are not normally in that type of food, and are actually added in during the preparation process. ''Food Additives'' are these additional nutrition pieces added during the preparation process, and they can be helpful in making sure we get enough vitamins and minerals. Some cereal boxes will mention that they are a good source for iron, which is a necessary metal that we need in our diets. The extra iron is added directly into the cereal, and by breaking it down our bodies can extract the iron and use it. By breaking down the cereal in water and using a magnet, we can separate out the iron that was added into the cereal as well!
