We apologize in advance for
tarnishing the image of your favorite
foods it's surprising how yucky the
process can be when it comes to creating
some of our favorite products to chow
down on we hate to say it but these are
ten foods you'll avoid after you know
how it's made mmm Jane stop eating that
crap marshmallows marshmallows are those
pillowy treats that are fun to pop right
into the mouth add to a cup of hot
chocolate or use in recipes who can
refuse grabbing a few marshmallows
straight from the bag the best and
easiest Treat in the world is poking a
marshmallow with a stick and a roasting
it over a fire everyone has their own
preferred degree of toastiness when it
comes to roasted marshmallows the debate
is always about if you like your roasted
marshmallow lightly toasted or
completely black after this you may not
want to put a marshmallow anywhere near
your mouth again so what's so bad about
marshmallows marshmallows are made with
something called gelatin yes it's that
stuff that's in products like jello and
even some of your favorite ice creams
how do they get gelatin well put down
your marshmallow for a second you don't
want to spit it out all over the screen
gelatin comes from boiling the bones and
hides of animals the gelatin and
marshmallows usually comes from cows yes
we can all agree that marshmallows are
indeed tasty but maybe we'll look at
them a bit differently when floating in
a cup of hot chocolate reduced fat
peanut butter peanut butter man now is
that yes a life without peanut butter
isn't much of a life at all unless
you're allergic of course but if you're
not and if you're on a diet then you
might naturally gravitate towards
reduced fat peanut butter after all
you're trying to cut out
much fat from your diet as possible I am
on a diet it's not an easy task and
you've got to do your best to find new
and creative ways of cutting back that's
why you scour the supermarket shelves
for new products that will help you in
your mission to shed a few pounds you
find your way to the reduced fat peanut
butter and realize that you never knew
it was an actual thing it probably makes
you feel pretty good that you can enjoy
something that you love without the
guilt of all that fat you've lost weight
Patricia well you're probably going to
want to skip the reduced fat peanut
butter after hearing this what's so bad
about reduced fat peanut butter sure it
has less fat in it
the problem is that so-called healthy
peanut butter is loaded with sugar and
artificial sweeteners the missing flavor
from fat has to be covered up with
something if you've ever noticed that
your reduced fat peanut butter tastes
sweet now you know why you're better off
using the regular peanut butter and
cutting down how much you smear on a
slice of bread the added sugar and
artificial sweeteners don't justify
going the reduced fat route that was it
frozen meals who doesn't love the
convenience of a frozen dinner sometimes
you don't have the time to prepare an
entire meal from scratch and that's why
the frozen food aisle seems like the
last saving grace for anyone who is
hungry and on the go
feast your eyes when shopping you toss a
few frozen meals in your cart without
thinking twice about it they make you
feel happy knowing that there will be
something available to eat when you're
dead tired and can't think of turning on
the stove let's not forget frozen pizza
and how it's the perfect anytime meal
and also makes for a great snack what
would life be without frozen pizza
[Music]
you're going to hate us for this one but
frozen foods are full of all kinds of
bad stuff first off they're loaded with
sodium we know what you're thinking
everything is loaded with salt these
days the salt in your favorite frozen
food isn't the main problem
it's the preservatives and sugar must
protect
you might not realize it but frozen
foods are loaded with sugar and
chemicals do yourself a favor and
eliminate them from your diet prepare
big meals a few times a week and put
them in the freezer for a healthy
alternative to frozen dinners baked
chicken and boiled potatoes are super
easy to make and you can use these as a
base to whip up quite a few meals
processed cereals what's one of the
first things you do in the morning you
stumble into the kitchen and pull out a
box of cereal you then grab the milk
from the fridge and begin pouring it
into your bowl the entire process of
making breakfast takes all of about 30
seconds if you're still drowsy you munch
on the cereal while checking your
Facebook Timeline and wonder why the
weekend can't get here any faster are
you the type who drinks the milk
straight from the bowl once the cereal
is all gone if so then you guzzle down
the now sweetened Moo juice and off you
go anyway but your morning routine is
forever going to change after this you
probably already know that your favorite
breakfast cereal is full of sugar if it
isn't then you probably add a few
heaping tablespoons of sugar to it
anyway
breakfast cereal was designed for
children and that's why it tastes so
good the people who created cereal so
sweet a spoonful would give you cavities
must not really like kids to promote
such a thing to them anyway there's also
not much in terms of vitamins and
anything else healthy and cereal cook up
some oatmeal a few times a week and toss
it in the refrigerator and microwave it
before going to work you'll find that
oats will stick to your ribs longer and
make you feel less hungry throughout the
day
I'm not hungry bottled water bottled
water used to be only for the rich and
famous
why in the world would you pay for water
when it comes out of your faucet did you
know that the soda companies make more
money selling bottled water than they do
that sugary bubbly liquid we all know
and love I mean I'm good with just like
soda or water it's true and people all
over the world or draining bottle after
bottle of water all day long
some people never drink the water that
comes out of the faucet anymore
if we have out of the faucet like from
the hose tap water sometimes people
don't like the taste of their local
water or they might fear that something
bad is in it which has proven to be the
case in some instances well there's
something bad in your bottled water too
the problem with bottled water is well
the bottle itself plastic has a way of
leaking all kinds of stuff into water
and other liquids some brands of bottled
water come in glass bottles and they are
worth looking into
the majority of people buy water in
plastic bottles because that is what's
most widely available you can't go into
almost any home without finding at least
one bottle of water if you're worried
about the quality of your drinking water
buy a purifier you'll save money in the
long run and you won't have to worry
about chemicals leaking into the water
from the plastic bottles foods with red
food dye at least one of your favorite
foods is red in color it might be red
candy bread ice cream or a fruity red
drink that all tastes delicious
just seeing the color red makes you
think of a sweet cherry piece of candy
that's more delicious than the fruit
itself as you can imagine your favorite
licorice or other red candy doesn't get
its color naturally many of the
flavorings that are in the candy aren't
actually red so they need to find a way
to change the color of their products
that's where food dye comes in and a
variety of foods are dyed in many
different colors anyone who has ever
made a batch of Easter eggs knows about
those dyes that color the white eggs a
variety of festive shades now let's ruin
your favorite red dyed foods do you know
where they get the red dye from they get
it from coach Andy
insects that are crushed up and used for
their color coach O'Neal insects were
used in Mexico a long time ago as a dye
for clothing it wasn't until a little
over a hundred years ago that the same
dye was used in a variety of foods in
America the red color that you're
familiar with comes from insects that
are crushed up into a powder how gross
is that don't worry we aren't going to
freak you out and tell you what the
other colors are made of you already
probably get the drift that food dye is
made up of some pretty nasty stuff
ground beef ground beef is in some of
your favorite recipes you can't make
your famous chili made using your secret
recipe without ground beef and you're
not going to give up your secret recipe
for anything there is no amount of money
in this world that will make you divulge
the secret to your chili hmm I'm going
to eat all this chili and or die trying
well maybe beef won't be what's for
dinner after hearing this you'll sing
twice about slapping a beef patty on the
barbecue this summer when the Sun is
beating down and you have a craving for
a giant burger there's something called
pink slime that's used in many of the
packages of ground beef what is pink
slime it's beef that has been done who
knows what with by using chemicals the
chemicals take undesirable pieces of
beef turn it into a slime like additive
and then they incorporate it into the
ground meat but the secret ingredient in
the beef is beef think of it as big
businesses way of making sure none of
the cow goes to waste how can you avoid
buying ground beef with pink slime in it
buy ground beef at a butcher or
supermarket where they grind their own
meat if you ask them nicely they might
be willing to grind you up some chuck
steak or another cut at no additional
charge no charge
pop-tarts anyone who has kids knows that
it's almost impossible to get them to
eat breakfast you spend so much of your
time and energy begging them to eat
something before they walk out the door
no child can learn on an empty stomach
admit it parents you eat pop-tarts too
for breakfast you grab one while you're
heading out the door along with your
travel mug full of coffee no matter if
you're walking to the bus stop or
driving to work the coffee and pop-tart
will be gone by the time you get where
you need to be pop-tarts tastes great
and come in a variety of flavors that
are sure to appeal to even the pickiest
of eaters I don't feel much like eating
right now
why are pop-tarts such a hit with
everyone well it's because they're
loaded with sugar of course look at the
first few ingredients of pop-tarts and
you'll see quite a few different types
of sugar your body is programmed to like
anything sweet and there's plenty of
sweetness and every pop-tart while it's
good that you and the kids are eating
breakfast it's not so good that what
you're putting in your body is a bag of
sugar breakfast is the most important
meal of the day and it's a huge mistake
to flood yourself with sugar so early in
the morning artificial sweeteners what
we got
is a bag of artificial sweetener we all
know that sugar is some of the worst
stuff out there some considers sugar a
drug and avoid it at all costs so you
reach for the packets of pink stuff and
put it in your coffee these days there
are so many choices when it comes to
artificial sweeteners that it can be
almost impossible to choose which one to
use do you go with the stuff that may be
a carcinogen maybe you'd rather have an
increased risk of heart disease and
diabetes suddenly I had diabetes one and
two wait a minute an increased risk of
diabetes from a sweetener that contains
no sugar at all yes it's possible and
that's what we're going to get into now
scientists are now beginning to connect
the dots when it comes to figuring out
why the stuff is bad for you and study
so far they can see an increased risk of
diabetes and also heart disease
it seems the people who consume
artificial sweeteners already have an
extremely poor diet and are at risk for
these diseases anyway people who use
artificial sweeteners might feel that
since they are skipping sugar they can
eat anything they want and still be
healthy it's best to eat real sugar in
moderation and skip the fake stuff due
to health reasons some people might not
have a choice all those who do have a
choice make the right decision and eat
sugar sparingly and stay far away from
anything with artificial sweeteners in
it stay away
wine everyone thinks that wine is good
for them how many people do you know
drink wine because they say it's good
for their hearts a meal isn't a meal for
many if it doesn't include a glass of
wine
all of this time you thought the wine
you were drinking was healthy well maybe
except for that giant box of wine you
picked up at a discount at some
warehouse Outlet you know the one let's
just say it's not being served in the
finest dining establishments this is
more like the wine you'd find at a frat
party the wine will be gone by the time
the night is over but the headache from
the hangover will last much longer
according to PETA some wines may contain
all kinds of gross animal products in it
we're talking about stuff like bone
marrow milk products and even fish oil
there's an entire zoo floating around in
your glass of red wine try to buy
locally made wine and ask them if they
put any of this disgusting stuff in it
if you can't find a good wine made
locally you can even make your own wine
at home it's completely legal and you'll
be in total control of what's in your
wine glass so I'm gonna take control tap
