Anti Aging Skin Tips

Do you like Pizza Hut pizza? Does their cheese contain silicone?

Pizza Hut’s cheese supplier, Leprino Foods, uses the silicone-industrial chemical Polymethylsiloxane in their “Pizza Cheese”. It is not approved by the FDA as a food ingredient; it is intended for use as an anti-foaming agent for boiler water. In its patented manufacturing process, Leprino Foods sprays “cheese granules” with Polymethylsiloxane, resulting in a concentration of the chemical 90 times higher even than is permitted in boiler water. The Polymethylsiloxane is used to avoid a normal seven-day aging process for cheese, and allows for a higher food starch content. Without the aging process, cheese can form bubbles during cooking, which blacken and burst. A high starch content also normally causes bubbles. Since Polymethylsiloxane is an anti-foaming agent, it prevents the bubbles from forming. There are lots of links about this little known fact. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-18,GGLD:en&q=Pizza+Hut+Silicone

1. Well its been years since I've had Pizza Hut....but now it makes me wonder what other pizza places are doing.
2. Wow. Thank you for sharing that! I think from now on it's safer and healthier to spend the extra $5 dollars and get a pizza from Round Table or Straw Hat.
