Smoothies...and Fiber

The Davis family has taken to making smoothies as a late night treat instead of digging into gallons of ice cream. We've been told they are healthier for us. Wikipedia says, "Smoothies appeal to a wide range of age groups because of their sweetness, fresh fruit flavor, and nutritional value. Most are high in dietary fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants." Dietary Fiber.

Do we really know what DIETARY FIBER looks like?

See the little light colored dash-like things? Those are actual dietary fiber molecules that have been magnified 10000000000 times! You really shouldn't be able to see these with the naked eye but we were able to capture one of the largest of these molecules ever known to exist!

See it right there on Ken's tongue? It's a wonder of science! We are waiting to hear from researchers who want to know exactly where we were able locate such a large specimen! Truthfully, it wasn't very difficult at all to locate this. In fact, like many scientific discoveries, it was Ken who stumbled upon this by accident!

He was making smoothies Wednesday night. He followed all the instructions that were given to him. But one VERY improtant detail was left out.

NEVER use a wooden spoon in a blender.
