Sunny Delight - Made with 5% real fruit juice.

Kinda makes you wonder what the other 95% is.

Sugar?
Water?
Chemicals I can't pronounce or spell?

Has anyone ever actually read the table of ingredients?

Whatever the other 95% is it must be acidic, I cant touch the stuff without reliving my last three dining experiences (IE, heartburn, acid reflux...whatever its called).

I still like it though.

Beta-Carotene, Thiamin Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Natural Flavors, Food Starch-Modified, Canola Oil, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Benzoate To Protect Flavor, Yellow #5, Yellow #6

Yup. I was right.

NEVER injest anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Your body doens't know what to do with it and it just makes you fat.

It's got no health benefits at all... and can lead to obesity and diabetes.

just so no to Sunny Dee.

So there's no such thing as a "sunny delight tree?" What a pisser.

NEVER injest anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

I drink water, coffee, and the occasional cocktail, but always drink real fruit juice.

I loved Bing Crosby.

Drink juice that's 100% pure juice, no added sugars.

However, I admit to liking the California Style Sunny D. But I rarely drink it. I don't really like juice anyway. Unless it's the Welch's 100% pure purple grape.

That's some good stuff.

Food in general has become so industrialized that most of our food is full of man-made chemicals. Hell the term natural flavors doesn't even mean that the flavor is made from natural ingredients. The USDA defines natural flavors as essentially "any chemical that has the essence of a natural flavor and is edible".

What about Anita Bryant?

Wow. I forgot about her.

And You...well....you are exceptional.

 

[trydegrau]

Aren't we forgetting Irving Berlin?

And we wonder why Americans are all so disgustingly fat and get diabetes as children.

Sunny Delight is horrible.

Your body doens't know what to do with it and it just makes you fat.

Actually, your body knows EXACTLY what to do with with fructose, it's just that too much isn't good.

I wont drink that stuff. I only drink juices that are 100% juice, with the exception of lemonaid and tea with juice. But they still do not have any of that high fructose corn syrup or any other artificial junk in them. Thank goodness for Trader Joe's.

Actually, your body knows EXACTLY what to do with with fructose, it's just that too much isn't good.

Fructose is good.

High Fructose Corn Syrup isn't fructose.

It's an invention of the food industry to bring cheap sweetener but it doesn't occur in nature. your body doesn't understand it and can't break it down.

It spikes your insulin into the sky and it makes you fat... and has no nutritional value at all.

Interesting.......
