methylcellulose "an indigestible emulsifier and stool softener"
You have to be joking. Normal cellulose makes up a huge amount of most healthy and completely unprocessed vegetables, is considered great for you, and is also an indigestible emulsifier and stool softener.
You can't just name some use that sounds icky and declare that something is bad for you.
It's possible that methylating it causes a problem, but these specific reasons are nonsense.
"fermented sugar used as preservative" So is alcohol, and it looks like this kind of fermentation typically uses normal cheese bacteria. Shouldn't be an issue for most people.
"Actually not from soy, but biofactured by genetically engineered yeast." So what?
