Food that hates you. Can food kill a healthy person, what do you think? Looks like, yes, food can kill you for a number of reasons. Overeating is one of them: Even healthiest food may bring you damage when overly consumed. The other one is continuous eating of an unhealthy food: A chronic intoxication may […]

CVS Fruit Slices: One more fruit fraud

CVS Fruit Slices: One more fruit fraud

[ 0 ] January 14, 2012 |

In this upside down world, where we have so much what I call the “fruit fraud” everywhere, when food manufacturers produce something real, they have to explain this by saying something like: “We have made our product with a real fruit, please believe us this time!” Why so? Because otherwise the product will be perceived […]

Christmas should be the time when everyone makes another effort towards truth, peace and moral cleanliness. Not so for the candy makers. Those keep thinking more about how much they will profit from deceiving you and your kids. Made in Mexico, Life Savers Candy Canes look more like “Life Wasters” to me. While the container […]

Original candy cane was simply a stick of pure white sugar. Unfortunately, modern candies are “improved” by deceptive artificial colorants, flavors and other non-nutritious additives. Therefore while the Holiday Season, you and your children have higher chances to be exposed to those problematic food additives. Please read a fresh article about what I call the […]

Gummi Bears: Fake Fruits

Gummi Bears: Fake Fruits

[ 3 ] November 9, 2011 |

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 […]

Blow Teeth Pops

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 […]

Fruit Gushers: The fruit fraud continues

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 […]

While Halloween it still a few weeks away Walmart grocery is already pumpkin-decorated and you may walk by two aisles overloaded with orange boxes full of all possible candies.

Starburst: Artificial Fruit Chews

Starburst: Artificial Fruit Chews

[ 6 ] August 11, 2011 |

You can read on the label: cherry, orange, strawberry and lemon; natural and artificial flavors. It sounds fruity, isn’t it? But the question is: if there are natural fruits why to add cheap artificial flavors and questionable (read an article Food Dye Debate Resurfaces) artificial colors? I suspect that actual fruit content in the Starburst Fruit Chews is miserable if […]

You may think that almonds are equal to healthy food. Well, not always so. Here is Sugar Free Jordan Almonds candy from the Sprouts Farmers Market: net weight 0.51 lb, $ 4.58.
