Pure water is zero calories and it is the most essential macronutrient we must replenish daily to enjoy life. Every cell and all the tissues of our body need pure water, not Dr Pepper, not Coca-Cola classic, diet or zero, to function. When you are thirsty and you drink Dr Pepper, your body is forced […]

Fanta Grape: From fun to grave?

Fanta Grape: From fun to grave?

[ 1 ] August 29, 2012 |

Here is a 2 L bottle of Fanta Grape soda with beautiful red grapes on the label. A statement decorated with green leaf gives you a false comfort feeling about the beverage: “100% Natural Flavors.” Yet another redundant statement on the front says it again: “Grape Flavored Soda with other natural flavors.” Make no mistake: […]

Oreo cookies: processed and toxic

Oreo cookies: processed and toxic

[ 2 ] May 13, 2012 |

Although recently reviewed Oreo Milk’s Favorite sandwich cookies of Craft Foods/Nabisco are far from being the best nutritious choice, they, at least, don’t contain potentially dangerous food additives (read Behavior, Learning and Health: The Dietary Connection). Oreo Ice Cream cookies represent completely different case: a variety of four artificial food colorants is included. Therefore, the […]
