I have to tell you right away, Trader Joe’s “This “Blueberry” Walks into a Bar…” cereal bars are relatively not a bad product. There are no artificial colors (typically Blue 1 and Red 40) added to deceive you and no hydrogenated oils which always deliver residual trans-fat which may increase your risks of heart disease. […]
Brief history of Russian honey gingerbread One of the oldest Russian pastry delicacies is what Russians call pryanik, a big cookie (you may call it small honey cake) baked with honey. The closest American word describing pryanik is gingerbread. But please make no mistake: Russian pryaniks are quite different from gingerbread in recipes, texture and […]
Calorie calculation did always seem as a crazy disturbance to me: Instead of enjoying your food and life you are busy with counting every your gulp and bite. There have been myriads calorie counters established for the last 50 years when everyone’s diet was bound to universal 2000 calories a day standard. Some count caloric […]
The power of public petitioning The fact that American consumers are less protected from chemical food hazards than their European peers has been around for a while. Indeed, why millions of children, pregnant women and adults in America are doomed to ingest potentially health-damaging chemicals for decades when European Union requires mandatory warning labels which drove […]
Walking on a minefield Yes, you can buy cakes from Walmart bakery department. Moreover, you can even survive for a while eating them!

A year ago I have recommended Wheat Thins Original. For some reason Kraft Foods added Red 40 artificial color to their Wheat Thins Ranch, otherwise healthy snack. This time I would like to recommend Wheat Thins Multigrain snacks which contain 17 grams of whole grain per 31 g serving. Nutritionists recommend eating 3 or more […]
Here is a box of Newtons Minis, “fruit chewy cookies made with real fruit and baked with 100% whole grain” by Kraft Foods. Doesn’t this sound nice? But let’s take a look at the ingredients to see what else comes with the health promoters. DyeDiet Doesn’t Buy It! Newtons Mini Strawberry: Risk, Nutrition and Dye […]
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 […]
Last week I was on my way back to the US from a fun trip to Siberia (Russia). Let me share with you a few observations which you may find interesting and useful. When you flight domestically, the ubiquitous standard turkey sandwich, made of bleached wheat flour, is chasing you everywhere from LAX to ATL […]
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. […]
