Nutritious candy of Whole Foods Market

Nutritious candy of Whole Foods Market

[ 2 ] June 6, 2012 |

Sometimes I hear from my readers: “Why do you look for nutrients in candy? Everyone knows they are artificial.” I disagree on the both points: 1. Candy can and should be nutritious; 2. Too many people are misled by fruity pictures on the labels. So what the nutritious candy looks like? Here is one example […]

Barq’s Fake Root Beer

Barq’s Fake Root Beer

[ 5 ] June 2, 2012 |

What you read on the label: “Barq’s Olde Tyme Root Beer. It’s good since 1898!” is not what you get in reality. The drink has nothing to do with the root of sassafras which in old times used to be the original flavor of root beer. So what you get is another version of Coca-Cola-like […]

Capri Sun: You can trust the label

Capri Sun: You can trust the label

[ 0 ] May 30, 2012 |

Capri Sun is a brand of flavored juice drink blend from concentrates originated from Germany and distributed in the US by Kraft Foods. Its origin may be the reason why it doesn’t contain any artificial food colorants you find in its infamous domestic relative, Kool-Aid. Furthermore, the drink’s label is NOT totally misleading: Strawberry-Kiwi flavored […]

Hiland Whipping Heavy Processed Cream

Hiland Whipping Heavy Processed Cream

[ 0 ] May 26, 2012 |

I buy Hiland Half & Half made from grade A milk and cream ($3.19./quart) with dipotassium phosphate as the only additive which is not harmful. From the other hand, Hiland Heavy Whipping Cream, which one may expect to be equally healthy, has always made me suspicious about its nutritional quality. Let’s see why. Hiland Heavy […]

Limeade: Chemically polluted water

Limeade: Chemically polluted water

[ 2 ] May 19, 2012 |

Gatorade, Powerade… Now Limeade. Looks like they believe you are going to pay for anything what’s name is ended on “ade”. Limeade Sparkling Cherry of Walmart is another food additive concentrate to destroy people’s health. I consider this as “food terrorism.” Carbonated water is the only nutrient your body can make use of. All the […]

A and W Root Beer: Sugary syrup

[ 6 ] May 17, 2012 |

I always thought that root beer is a healthy naturally flavored beverage. Not exactly. Yes, quillaia extract is a natural ingredient. According to the Wikipedia: Quillaia is the milled inner bark or small stems and branches of the soapbark. It contains a high concentration of saponins and is used to enhance vaccines. That’s it, nothing […]

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 […]

Sugar free Popsicles eat away your health

[ 1 ] May 9, 2012 |

Nothing is free in the profit driven world. But if you are not educated in what food is, you lose twice: when you pay your own money for a marketing trick and when you allow the pesky food additives to eat away your health. Corporations don’t hesitate to exploit your ignorance to pack their deep […]

Great Value: A Sports Drink for idiots

Great Value: A Sports Drink for idiots

[ 1 ] May 5, 2012 |

“Electrolyte” is nothing but the marketing hook for idiots. I am sick and tired of lies. How about you? I don’t take lies anymore because I hate to feel like an idiot. Do you? I’ll tell you what, if you are the one of those millions people who drink Gatorade, then yes, you still do. […]
