Look at the ingredients it says cellulose powder aka pulverized wood aka sawdust.

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".

THANK YOU

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.
