I dont know if this falls foul of house rules but i'll soon find out....


I'd like to start a list of all the companies and products that promote themselves as healthy but instead have ingredients that suggest otherwise.

I'll start with Fruit Shoots - Robinsons are advertising these in the UK as "one of your five a day", the ingredients list is as follows

Water, Orange fruit from concentrate (6%),Peach puree from concentrate (4%), Citric Acid, Acidity regulator (Trisodium Citrate), Preservatives (E202, E242, E211), Vitamins (C, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, B6, B12), Stabiliser (Xathan Gum), Sweeteners (Aspartame, Acesulfame K), Flavouring. Also contains a source of Phenylanine.

The ad is all nice and soft and healthy and convenient looking and promotes good health, but doesnt mention that it's 10% juice and a bottle of letters and sweeteners.

Any more....................
 
Sounds like a good thread, I have never heard of fruit shoots though. Sounds like a "healthy" kids snack. It seems like most of the "healthy" kids snacks are not so much
 
Great idea! Unfortunately i'm having a hard time finding the ingredients online of the products that I know are garbage. Here are a few things off the top of my head:

BARS:

PureProtein - Trans Fat
Balance Bars - HFCS
Tiger's Milk - Trans Fat

Other:

Yoplait Yogurt - HFCS
Lean Cuisine - Lots of sodium
WeightWatchers - Every god awful ingredient you could imagine all wrapped into their low fat products.
