just a little bite one little bite won't hurt you
can a sweet indulgence put you six feet under well you're about to find out was these ten banned
candies that can kill you hershey's take five can we take five take five take five is probably one
of the most unhealthy chocolate bars on the market mostly because of its outrageous ingredients
among the lengthy ingredient list of this bar you can find partially hydrogenated oil
most commonly known as trans fat trans fats can upset the balance between the
good and the bad cholesterol and has been linked to diseases like type 2 diabetes
heart disease and stroke what i've had enough trans transfer for one lifetime hershey's take
five also packs one heck of a sugar punch since sugar is listed as the first overall ingredient
you should be wary of the regular size bars in particular which contain a quarter of your daily
recommended saturated fats they're terrible for you look at the ingredients high fructose corn
syrup corn syrup however because of consumer backlash the companies working toward removing
every gmo product from their chocolates and getting rid of artificial flavors
so while the recovery is on the way in the meantime if you want to give your arteries a break
don't take five hippie sippy well i've seen cocktail i can do the hippie hippie shake the
1960s are notorious for being let's say a little experimental made in 1968 and imported from japan
hippie sippy was living proof that just about anything could make it onto the market back in
the 60s this candy was a plastic toy filled with multi-colored pellets but to get to the chocolate
you needed to suck on a hypodermic-like needle which is often associated with drug use so there's
that oh you have got to be joking oh and the colorful chocolate balls were meant to represent
uppers and downers literally designed to replicate the hippie culture it's easy to see how hippie
sippies didn't exactly make parents feel all warm and fuzzy encouraging kids to even pretend
to take illicit substances isn't good for anybody to make things even worse a button was attached to
the thin tip branded with sayings like i'll try anything and we sell happiness needless to say
these experimental candies didn't last very long on the shelves and they were pulled only after a
year if you're curious though you can find some on ebay but not for cheap milky way can i have that
milky way no you can't have the milky way that's my milky way ah milky way a tasty chocolate bar
so good it could send you to another dimension they say that life is better in the milky way but
is it healthier probably not while it's not all milky way bars that are problematic there is
one in particular that could cause a lot of damage and it's the one we tend to underestimate the most
peter please don't underestimate them the milky way fun size bars are supposed to help
keep calories and sugar intake in check and help with portion control as well however that's not
exactly the case turns out a serving of these small chocolate bars still contains around 20
grams of sugar which for a tiny two bite candy is a whole lot so that's a lot of sugar especially
knowing the full size variety only contains 10 more grams why even bother to go for the fun size
if it doesn't even change anything anyway they also contain hydrogenated palm kernel oil which is
insanely bad for our hearts the environment and even for orangutan survival not only that but
the caramel and nougat center is also infamous for annoyingly sticking to your teeth which can cause
cavities so yeah maybe try to steer clear of those milky ways if you care about your health
and your teeth toxic waste chew bar candy okay with a name like toxic waste you can already kind
of guess that this candy isn't good for you in any way whatsoever but then again is any candy ever
really safe the toxic waste chew bar was a candy imported from pakistan and its claim to fame was
its extreme and unmatched sourness and apparently its ability to kill you the nuclear sludge variety
was launched back in 2007 but was discontinued in 2011 after some health concerns were raised
after conducting a lot of tests the fda deemed it unsafe to eat and recommended that the nuclear
sludge chew bar not be consumed anymore you see the candy was wrapped in bright yellow caution
like tape and the company's website featured the screech of a blaring warning horn the results were
in and the u.s distributor of nuclear sludge shoe bars began recalling the candy after a significant
level of lead was found in the bars almost three times the accepted lead levels it just
seems a little unhealthy no one had been sick from eating the candy yet but the fda said the elevated
lead content could potentially be harmful to small children infants and pregnant women so in the case
of better safe than sorry it was pulled and banned from the us tamarind lollipops lollipop tamarind
lollipops as amazing as they might be have been banned from the u.s market for the same reason
that toxic chew bars were lead we all know how ingesting a lot of lead can damage your brain and
the central nervous system which can cause severe learning disorders and in some cases even death
only this time an incident happened that made authorities act fast and swift the lead poisoning
threat came from an imported tamarind candy lollipop labeled as the dulmex brand bullarindo
the california department of health services began investigating the soft dark brown tamarind fruit
candy lollipop after a two-year-old orange county child was found to have very high levels of lead
in a routine blood test it was discovered that the child had eaten the lollipops prior to his
visit two other cases of lead poisoning have been associated with this candy so it was eventually
banned nestle magic ball magic if you're a 90s kid then you definitely know about the
nestle magic ball these big hollow milk chocolate balls were extremely popular and could likely be
found on just about any kid's wish list kind of like kinder surprise the magic balls came with a
little surprise toy inside usually a small plastic figurine such as a disney or pokemon character
toys that's kid stuff what kid doesn't like getting a toy to go along with their chocolate
however the magic product was unceremoniously taken off the shelves in the late 1990s much
to every kid's disappointment but why well turns out in the u.s it's illegal to sell any candy with
a toy or a non-nutritive object embedded inside of it parents were also concerned that the toys
inside the chocolate shell presented a choking hazard and thought that kids would have trouble
telling the difference between the chocolate and the toy don't eat that nestle insisted
that the toy was safe but ended up withdrawing the product anyway in 2000 nestle re-released
the candy with a new name and a new concept they were now called wonderballs and instead of toys
they were filled with candy instead but that idea didn't stick around for very long either
smarties the smarties that freak people out this particular brand of powdered candy might
still be available it just depends on where you go to school smarties look
pretty innocent enough they're just little candies sure they look and kind of taste like medicine but
that's not really the problem here the problem comes from kids snorting the candy yes you heard
that right snorting how stupid can you get kids would go to the back of their classrooms crush
up a couple of smarties and sniff them up not only is this behavior extremely alarming
kids trying to recreate the act of well taking another type of substance that some adults take
but it also comes with its own health risks like with any other powder going up your nose really
blow your nose hurry hurry these risks include asthma attacks long-term breathing problems and
even nasal maggots okay the last one is pretty rare but it can happen but smarties isn't the
only candy kids like to sniff up their noses the principal of northern hills middle school
in michigan announced in 2011 that any sugar candies such as smarties and pixie stix would
now be prohibited as children liked to smoke them crushed up and then re-rolled into a cigarette
they were getting inventive it was better to just ban these candies all together sour patch kids
here's a dollar for your troubles get yourself some sour patch kids usually when food is colorful
it's highly nutritious however this doesn't apply to fake artificially colored foods like sour patch
kids as much as these sour candies are beloved by many it doesn't make them any less harmful for you
it shouldn't come as a surprise either considering the first three ingredients on the list are sugar
invert sugar a mixture of glucose and fructose and corn syrup one two ounce box of sour patch kids
contains a stunning 36 grams of sugar holy [ __ ] it basically makes it one of the least healthy of
halloween candies ever and it's not like the rest of the ingredients are better preservatives like
citric acid and artificial colorine aren't exactly the picture of health either needless to say
they contain no nutritional benefits whatsoever what's so bad about corn syrup it's natural corn's
a fruit syrup comes from a bush oh boy high fructose corn syrup is added to many refined
products as it is cheap to manufacture but it's been linked to diabetes obesity high
blood pressure and many other diseases even though the fda hasn't banned the candy yet
it doesn't mean that it shouldn't but at the end of the day even though they're so tasty moderation
is key when eating candy with such insanely high sugar levels candy cigarettes they were thought
to encourage impressionable children to smoke how dumb do they think we are again this candy itself
doesn't need that much explanation as to why it could potentially kill you as the name suggests
candy cigarettes were candy made to resemble packs of cigarettes and were made of either chalky sugar
bubble gum or chocolate they were wrapped in paper and packaged and branded as real
cigarettes some even had powdered sugar at the tip so that you could blow through the candy stick and
make it look like it was smoke look there's smoke you can probably already see the problem with
these they first began being sold in the late 1900s and cigarette manufacturers
even helped with the production of the candy their branding was used on the candy packets
the perfect way for kids to mirror exactly what the grown-ups were doing obviously today
candy cigarettes are seen as a way to desensitize children to the idea of smoking but it took a
while for us to reach that conclusion medical organizations around the world began to become
more aware of the dangers of smoking so today these candies are banned practically everywhere
except in the us and canada some studies have shown that the percentage of smokers who had
candy cigarettes as a child was higher than those who didn't smoke so it might seem like a fun and
innocent candy but in the long run it's probably killed more people than any other candy out there
haribo sugar-free gummy bears gummy bears haribo undoubtedly makes some of the best gummy bears
on the market with unique and flavorful products they really know how to make the sweet and chewy
stuff that people love however the company has known a few failures over the years like the time
they tried to make their sugar-free gummy bears cutting out sugar is a noble goal after all sugar
is bad for you and damages your teeth so the idea was good but the execution not so much houston we
have a problem you see in 2014 the poor sugar-free gummy bears gathered quite a bit of attention when
people started to notice some undesirable side effects following the consumption of the candy
well because haribo chose to replace the sugar in their gummy bears with lycoplasin lycason is
a substance almost as sweet as sugar known as a sugar alcohol and contains half the calories as
much as this sounds like it would be the perfect sugar alternative it wasn't since our bodies can't
fully digest it it can create some very unpleasant reactions if present and large quantities like
casein can even start to ferment in our stomachs reviews on amazon were quick to describe in detail
what exactly fermenting in our stomachs entailed and many users vividly shared their experiences
some colorful reviews called the sugar-free gummies deaths in a bag an intestinal power wash
and a gummy bear assault for what it's worth haribo included a warning on the package but
after the stories went viral they decided to put a stop to their production probably
a good call on their part stick around for another great video just tap or click
