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: […]

Stop Food Terrorism: Wal-Mart dinosaur cookies

Stop Food Terrorism: Wal-Mart dinosaur cookies

[ 0 ] August 25, 2012 |

Watch out!  It’s another back-to-school season. What this means for the food industry sharks? It’s time for them assault YOUR children; perhaps, not physically but… yes, chemically. For the food industry your children are just a market (see Food marketing to children) that is millions of brainless mouths and stomachs to trick into paying for […]

365 Cola: Too much sugar

365 Cola: Too much sugar

[ 6 ] August 15, 2012 |

I have recently recommended Lemon Lime All Natural soda from Whole Foods Market. Too much sugar (6 teaspoons per 240 ml) was the only concern to keep in mind. Here is another all natural soda, 365 Cola, containing even more sugar – 11 teaspoons per can of 354 ml (7.5 teaspoons per 240 ml). But […]

Welch’s Light: Do not fool yourself

Welch’s Light: Do not fool yourself

[ 5 ] August 11, 2012 |

If you like Concord grape  flavor, Welch’s 100% Grape Juice is for you. But its ~ 300 g of sugar per 1.9 L bottle makes me feeling luscious so I prefer to dilute it well with cold water that helps to avoid health damaging sugar spike/crash effects. From the other hand, light, diet and zero […]

Lemon Poppyseed Scones: From people who care

Lemon Poppyseed Scones: From people who care

[ 0 ] July 25, 2012 |

I have written a serial of angry warnings about infamous Lofthouse cookies which are, in my opinion as a professional chemist, nothing more than a chemical waste. I categorize them as a latent “food terrorism” in this country. You will hardly recognize their hazardless unless you are a chemist, a nutritionist or a DyeDiet follower. […]

Lofthouse Patriotic Cookies: The domestic food terrorism

Lofthouse Patriotic Cookies: The domestic food terrorism

[ 4 ] June 27, 2012 |

Do you know what irritates me the most every time I visit the local Walmart grocery? It’s the exposition of Lofthouse Cookies stacked on the shelves right by the entrance so that no one could miss them. Those miserable talentless junk-food cookies change their names and artificial colors according to the seasons and holidays but sadly […]

Perrier Lime Mineral Water: The Perfect Hydration!

Perrier Lime Mineral Water: The Perfect Hydration!

[ 0 ] June 23, 2012 |

Every time want to I suggest a healthy alternative to many shamefully unhealthy American soft drinks, I refer to the mineral water from Perrier  or Pellegrino. Indeed, there is nothing better for hydration of your body, except, maybe pure natural source water. But Perrier makes wonder by presenting their lime-flavored version of the mineral water. […]

Is there anything of value on today’s market, where a gallon of gas is between $3 and $4, that you can buy for $1.67 a gallon? Here is Tampico Citrus Punch – Orange, Tangerine and Lemon for you not to buy. See below to find out why not. Yes, it is low calorie drink  but […]

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 […]
