The ” Blueberries” You’re Eating May very well be Produced from Chemicals [Food]

Blueberries! They’re right for you! High in antioxidants! Delicious! Except when they’re produced from ” sugar, corn syrup, starch, hydrogenated oil, artificial flavors and artificial food dye blue No. 2 and red No. 40,” as found in a new report .

The investigation, conducted by NaturalNewsTV, reveals the fact staring you inside the face from the back of that box of ” blueberry” muffins (or bagels, or bread, or scones, or many, many others). The blueberries, simply, aren’t. They’re product of wacky sounding concoctions like ” blueberry bits,” which, contrary to their title, should not blueberries. Not even bits of them. Sometimes a product maintains some tenuous connection to blueberry honesty with a ” dash of blueberry puree concentrate.” Sometimes there’s just zero trace of blueberries at all.

Fake blueberry-ness is ok in, say, Skittles, or a popsicle. But not muffins in a box adorned with giant photos of blueberries. Next time you hit the grocery aisle, read the back of the package. Or, just buy actual blueberries-whenever you squeeze them and they don’t burst into a puddle of partially hydrogenated soybean oil and dye, odds are you’re safe. [ NaturalNews.TV via LA Times ]
