What is food to one man may be fierce poison to others.

So, this is fascinating and gross, one of my favorite combinations.

It’s a video Stefani Bardin created for TEDxManhattan. Subjects first swallowed devices dubbed ‘SmartPill’ and ‘M2A’ (that’s ‘Mouth to Anus’ and don’t you forget it). One then ate a meal comprised of blue Gatorade, a bowl of Top Ramen and some gummy bears. The other ate noodles that were homemade, gummy bears made from pomegranate juice, washed down by hibiscus juice. Both meals sound pretty nasty to me (Gatorade isn’t meant to be drunk with food, in my opinion, but especially not with ramen), but the intent of the video and study is to illustrate the difference between processed and real foods as they travel through your body. Enjoy.
