Quick fix syndrome. Americans, like people in other developed countries, commonly tend to overeat and then get obese and sick miserably (see America’s Health Rankings). What is even worse is that instead of quickly to cut our meals and start exercising we are looking for an easy solution, like “magic pill” or some effortless dodge […]
We read everywhere: zero calorie, sugar free, fat free, gluten free… But what we have to keep in mind is that every time when sugar, fat or gluten are taken out, a designed combination of other food additives is called upon to replace them. These ingredients, sometimes natural, sometimes chemically synthesized, help food scientists make […]
Usually artificial dyes are what make Gatorade to appear in different colors. I just came across with a Gatorade saying on the pack: “No artificial flavor or color.” My first reaction was like “Wow! They start listening to the consumers who do not want that artificial stuff!” And yes, this is true. As we, the […]
“ZERO” in a name or on the front of a label is just another “hook” for those of us who still look for silver bullets and magic pills. And I can understand why… According to the Harvard School of Public Health: “Every day, the government’s food stamp program buys Americans 20 million servings of soda, […]
Recently I have recommended FUZE Mixed Berry, a naturally flavored and naturally colored beverage from FUZE Beverage, LLC. My initial assumption was that FUZE is committed to offer Americans healthy drinks containing neither artificial colors nor other questionable food additives. Not quite so. When I took another look at the beverage line I have got […]
Looks like at least some US manufacturers start to respond to growing consumer’s demand for healthy food and beverages. This may well be the result of increasing awareness of the American public of potentially harmful health effects that artificial coloring (see CSPI document Food Dyes: A Rainbow of Risks) and other questionable food additives may cause. Recently […]
Arizona Fruit Punch was the first time in years that I came across a fruit punch which was NOT the “fruit fraud.” Congratulations! Looks like YOURS and our humble efforts help making healthy shift in the US food industry. Indeed, it all depends on us, the consumers. If we choose to stop buying products containing […]
In the early days of Pepsi “Delicious and Healthful” advertising theme was used over two decades from 1909 to 1931. However after HFCS was introduced in so many processed foods and soft drinks in the USA since the early 1980s health concerns in regard to its risks in causing obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty […]
I cannot say that Coca-Cola cherry is healthier than just reviewed Dr Pepper cherry but the truth is that it is less risky. And yet it is not good enough for regular drinking. Take a look at the risk diagram to see why. DyeDiet DOESN’T BUY IT! Unlike Dr Pepper cherry, this one is a little lower […]
Recently DyeDiet reported similarity in the ingredients of Skittles and Blue Bell frozen confections. Blue Bell composition, in turn, was found very similar to Kool-Aid Bursts and various Kool-Aid Bursts were found identical to each other. Sadly, High Fructose Corn Syrup (watch an educational video on HFCS), citric acid, artificial flavors and dyes is what it takes […]
