Jelly Belly To Be Proud About
Some time ago I wrote a report on Jelly Belly candy which was stuffed with 11 anti-nutritional food additives (red segments in the DyeDiet diagram) and delivered a miserably low nutritional value. Yes, I would not treat my children to that kind of candies. But the world is changing and not always for worse. Now […]
Great Value Apple Juice: A good choice
Recently I have written a positive review for Capri Sun Flavored Juice Drink Blend. Yes, you can trust its label and, yes, it’s safe to drink it in moderation. But look at the DyeDiet diagram of Great Value 100% Apple Juice: It’s entirely green! This means that only nutrients are present in the product. DyeDiet […]
Lemon Lime All Natural Soda
Every time I visit Whole Foods Market I get a feeling that any item there costs at least $4.99. Well, I explain to myself, that’s what we have to pay for the high quality food and guaranteed safety. And when I look at the receipt I think: This is another good reason to eat less! […]

He created a new, carbonated drink which required both less fruit juice and less sugar. The product received its name because the drink was […]
Why Dr Pepper is NOT your doctor
With all due respect to Dr Pepper’s long history of a soft drink with a unique flavor, the truth is that it contains only two ingredients which your body can make use of: water and 35 teaspoons (!) of High Fructose Corn Syrup (while these are nutrients, 2 green segments in the DyeDiet diagram, too […]
Lofthouse Patriotic Cookies: The domestic food terrorism
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!
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. […]
SoBe Lifewater: The right hydration
Some time ago I have reviewed SoBe zero calorie punch which, however, I couldn’t recommend to you because it did contain a questionable food additive. This time I am happy to recommend SoBe Lifewater Pacific Coconut Coconut Water, low calorie beverage composed with no strange chemicals (no red segments in the DyeDiet risk diagram). What […]
