This year I plan to do a series on the types of products being used in the foods we eat that simulate taste, texture, etc of the ingredients we think are in the foods we eat. While blueberries are not the ingredient I intended to begin with, I had to share this video from the Health Ranger that I saw today:
In this video he exposes how most products you find in your supermarket that “imply they’re made with blueberries contain no blueberries at all”. For example, one well known product is shown to contain “blueberry flavored crunchlets” which are made from sugars, soybean oil, red #40 and blue #2.
I urge you to watch this video so that you will can be better informed next time you go grocery shopping. We do our best to feed our families healthy and nutritious meals. How can we do that when the marketing decisions made by the companies you know and trust are designed to inflate their profit margin by deceiving you?
Know what you’re eating. Always read the ingredients on the package because the front is just a billboard designed to draw you in.
