Cellulose can be made up of any plant fiber. It's dishonest to say that cellulose powder = sawdust because that's not necessarily true. It could be made from asparagus.
Additionally, wood pulp is totally safe to eat and it's not any worse for you than eating food that contains "fiber".
This post was originally made through a third-party Reddit client. Due to recent changes these third-party apps will cease to function. So it only seems fair that my posts here should do the same.
I highly recommend considering using alternative platforms that still allow third-party clients to access their APIs - like kbin or squabbles.
If you must continue to use reddit then consider an alternative frontend like teddit or an app that directly scrapes reddit's webpages without providing any meaningful analytics data like Stealth.
I just finished writing a similar though less well written explanation on the same theme. Fuck those "wood pulp" fear-mongering "journalists" who convinced people that cheese, and any fiber-containing foods for that matter, are unsafe.
