We read everywhere: zero calorie, sugar free, fat free, gluten free… But what we have to keep in mind is that every time when sugar, fat or gluten are taken out, a designed combination of other food additives is called upon to replace them. These ingredients, sometimes natural, sometimes chemically synthesized, help food scientists make […]
This is a good new trend – to satisfy consumer’s demand for healthy foods and soft drinks. Indeed, it looks like the CSPI‘s Food Day Message Reaches Millions! Here is another “ZERO calories” beverage with a vitamin composition similar to the recently reviewed Propel ZERO. But the old trick is an artificial food colorant, FD&C […]
There is seemingly nothing wrong with eating gelatin-based rubbery-textured sweet gummies. After all, while gelatin has less nutritional value than many other protein sources, it is still a nutrient, an animal-derived structural protein. But watch out when you read something like this: Naturally and Artificially Flavored; Wild ’n Fruity; 6 Fruity Flavors; Made with Real […]
I find it very unfortunate for the American children and disgraceful for the food manufacturers that most of the candies (e. g., like Jolly Rancher) you can buy at Walmart, convenience stores and many grocery stores everywhere in the USA are nothing else but primitive and nasty stuff like these Blow Pop Charms: DyeDiet Doesn’t […]
Usually artificial dyes are what make Gatorade to appear in different colors. I just came across with a Gatorade saying on the pack: “No artificial flavor or color.” My first reaction was like “Wow! They start listening to the consumers who do not want that artificial stuff!” And yes, this is true. As we, the […]
See nice pictures of the Russian (Ukrainian) Borsch which may entice you to make it real! Please note that by taking beans or peas instead of meat you will cook a vegetarian borsch which is also as nutritious and delicious as the meaty one. INGREDIENTS Beef with a bone – 600 g (1-2 pounds); Potato […]
Stated value I feel sorry for the General Mills Sales, Inc., (Minneapolis, USA) who worked so hard trying to market their nasty “fruit fraud” product to our children. Here it is, Fruit Gushers – Mood MorphersTM (Yes… See the CSPI‘s document: Diet, ADHD and Behavior). The label screams: New! The Tongue Tells It All! FRUIT […]
“ZERO” in a name or on the front of a label is just another “hook” for those of us who still look for silver bullets and magic pills. And I can understand why… According to the Harvard School of Public Health: “Every day, the government’s food stamp program buys Americans 20 million servings of soda, […]
No stated value While I don’t mind if Halloween baked goods are designed to look scary, the scary food additives are certainly not what we want. Recently I have reviewed “Back To School” Lofthouse cookies. Here is another example of almost exactly the same poor nutrition and high health risk product. Suspiciously, there is no […]
Food Life needs food. We need food to rebuild some 7 million (out of the total 25 trillion) of red blood cells our body loses every second and hence, yes, “we are what we eat.” But you cannot build living cells from whatever is available or even affordable. To survive we must eat nutritious food, […]
