Sparkling Ice: New trend, Old tricks

Sparkling Ice: New trend, Old tricks

[ 10 ] November 12, 2011 |

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 […]

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

[ 8 ] November 5, 2011 |

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

[ 6 ] October 29, 2011 |

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 […]

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 […]

Fun Pops: Another Fruit Fraud

Fun Pops: Another Fruit Fraud

[ 12 ] October 9, 2011 |

No, people, this is NOT a fun at all. I thought Kool-Aid  was the only worst fake fruit beverage on the market. Well, if I was the manufacturer of the Fun Pops I couldn’t sleep at nights bothering by the thoughts of what adverse health effects my beverage might produce on American public, especially on children, the […]

The DyeDiet goal is not to scare you, people. The goal is to inform you about the truth behind commercial statements designed to trick you into buying the products of poor nutritional value. Sometimes truth may look scary but we have to face it in order to make right decisions. Please keep in mind that […]

Schwab’s Finest Hot Links is an extra hot sausage produced in Oklahoma since 1912.  If you take magnifying glass you can read on the package: Artificially colored, Hickory Smoked, Fully Cooked. It also said: US inspected and passed by Department of Agriculture. And, finally, on the back you see “Allergen free”.  Wait a minute, what […]

Iced Tea: Brisk or Lipton?

[ 0 ] September 9, 2011 |

You may assume that iced tea should be a healthy soft drink by definition. How a glass of regular tea can be unhealthy?  Well, some iced tea producers tend to add unnecessary food additives which can be potentially harmful. Others avoid usage of pesky food additives so that their beverages are less risky. Look at […]

Here is Jarritos Fruit Punch tutifruti imported from Mexico.  The manufacturer proudly states that the drink is made with: 100% natural sugar No caffeine No High Fructose Corn Syrup. Yes, this is good but what about fruits? Unfortunately sugar and water are the only nutrients whereas the other five are not. Look at the risk diagram: […]
