Why do we color fruit? Whenever I see artificial colors added to fruit a question pops up in my mind: Why? I can understand the logic of attempting to mimic nature where there are no actual fruit present, like in Twizzlers Rainbow twists. But I don’t remember my mom or grandma ever adding a pinch […]

Moreover, recent research in rats showed that “eating sweet non-caloric substances may degrade” the ability to predict caloric contents of the food, “leading to increased food intake and diminished energy expenditure” (A […]
More food, less food additives! I keep having a feeling that food in the United States is the most saturated with too many chemical additives.

On the container it reads: Low Fat Snack. TWIZZLERS Twists. Strawberry artificially flavored. Net WT 16 oz (1 LB) 453 g Seems harmless, […]
It is important for everyone to know the facts. Knowledge helps us to make the right decisions for ourselves and our families. So we seek the truth about anything that is important to us; that way we are better informed in the decisions we make. When it comes to the food we eat it is […]
