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 […]

Gatorade vs SoBe: A positive trend

Gatorade vs SoBe: A positive trend

[ 4 ] November 2, 2011 |

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 […]

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 […]

Propel Zero: Sucralose is not a solution

[ 3 ] October 26, 2011 |

“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, […]

Spooky Lofthouse Cookie

[ 1 ] October 22, 2011 |

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 […]

Why Do We Need Food Day

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.

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 […]

FUZE to confuse

FUZE to confuse

[ 1 ] October 5, 2011 |

Recently I have recommended FUZE Mixed Berry, a naturally flavored and naturally colored beverage from FUZE Beverage, LLC. My initial assumption was that FUZE is committed to offer Americans healthy drinks containing neither artificial colors nor other questionable food additives. Not quite so. When I took another look at the beverage line I have got […]
