The "toxic for two weeks" is of course an urban legend, but what actually goes into Twinkies is fascinating anyway. There's a book out about it: http://www.amazon.com/Twinkie-Deconstructed-Ingredients-Processed-Manipulated/dp/B001UE7DHI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253747221&sr=8-1 Looking forward to making this version, with no ingredients that need to be mined!
