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: […]

However after HFCS was introduced in so many processed foods and soft drinks in the USA since the early 1980s health concerns in regard to its risks in causing obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty […]

Coca-Cola cherry: Risk and Nutrition

[ 2 ] July 30, 2011 |

I cannot say that Coca-Cola cherry is healthier than just reviewed Dr Pepper cherry but the truth is that it is less risky. And yet it is not good enough for regular drinking.

[ 3 ] July 27, 2011 |

Dr Pepper cherry is a soft drink with only TWO nutrients: carbonated water and High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) that constitute for 98% of the content.  The rest 2% are unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals like sodium benzoate (see Southampton University ADHD studies), phosphoric acid (rust converter) and an artificial color Red 40, number one food colorant in […]

Recently DyeDiet reported similarity in the ingredients of Skittles and Blue Bell frozen confections. Blue Bell composition, in turn, was found very similar to Kool-Aid Bursts and various Kool-Aid Bursts were found identical to each other.  Sadly, High Fructose Corn Syrup (watch an educational video on HFCS), citric acid, artificial flavors and dyes is what it takes […]

Mountain Dew: the colored twins

[ 0 ] June 5, 2011 |

As I wrote before, the soft drinks and candy manufacturers do not bother to use their intellectual potential, even if they have it, to design really new products. They simply breed new brands and give different names to the same old set of the ingredients: HFCS, a bunch of preservatives, artificial flavors and the food dyes. This […]

[ 5 ] May 28, 2011 |

Have you ever seen a blue raspberry? Here it is, the “sour-sational raspberry,” a soft drink with no raspberries but FD&C Blue #1 aniline food dye in it instead.
