Yuck!

Honestly, I hate to pick on Shake Shack. They are one of the very few restaurants who serve antibiotic-free meats…but you need to know the truth about their food.

Let me tell you, I think they should feel ashamed using so many processed ingredients especially with a slogan like “Stand For Something Good”.

The ShackBurger has a whopping 73 ingredients. Those “Non-GMO” potato buns are filled with a slew of dough conditioners, preservatives, and emulsifiers.

And that Shack Sauce? It’s mostly Canola Oil, which is an unhealthy refined oil linked to inflammation and heart health risks. It’s preserved with Potassium Sorbate, which has been shown to be genotoxic to white blood cells (which could lead to cancer).

It is also spiked with 4 different natural flavors to give it that irresistible taste. No wonder they are so popular!

They can (and should) do so much better, right?

If you know anyone who loves Shake Shack, or perhaps thinks they are the “healthy” fast food, please share this with them!

Chemicals Snacks... They only taste good because of ingredients made to make you crave them. How about a better choice? Brownies are one of the easiest things to make and you can make them a better choice for school lunches or snacking!

Please share the truth about Little Debbie! So many children will be getting these ingredients in their lunchboxes or after-school snacks…

⚠️ TITANIUM DIOXIDE: A brightening agent which was banned in Europe after it was found to damage DNA, potentially leading to cancer.

⚠️ POLYSORBATE 60: An emulsifier that may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane – a known carcinogen.

⚠️DEXTROSE: A simple sugar made from corn, which has the ability to spike blood sugar rapidly. This can lead to hyperglycemia or increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.

⚠️32 GRAMS SUGAR: Zebra Cakes loaded with an extreme amount of refined sugar and corn syrup. Eating too much sugar leads to weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver disease.

⚠️MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES: This emulsifier is a byproduct of oil processing – including canola and soybean oils – which may contain trans fat that is detrimental to our heart health.

⚠️TBHQ: Controversial preservative that may harm the immune system and increase the risk of food allergies.

⚠️ ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS: Chemical mixtures synthesized in laboratories, derived from petroleum and other inedible substances. Cheaper than using real food. Makes processed food taste irresistible.

Ingredient Labels tell the truth. 😉 Well most times.... Product labels lie all the times...

Please read your labels and know what type of ingredients that are in your foods. Sorry but most of our food in the US is poisoned with ingredients not need. Additives that become addictive and encourage you to eat bigger porrions than you should.

Know anyone who needs to know the truth about peanut butter? Repost this!

There’s a lot more than just peanuts lurking in the most popular brands…

A recent study found that consuming emulsifiers (such as Mono and Diglycerides) can increase the risk of cancer up to 43%.

You’ll find this emulsifier in many peanut butters such as Jif, Jif Simply, Jif Reduced-Fat, Skippy Reduced-Fat.

Even if your brand contains just peanuts…

Beware that conventional peanuts are known to be heavily treated with synthetic pesticides and fungicides. Some of these are linked to cancer. This is why you want to choose organic.

Some brands (Adams, Smucker’s, Crazy Richards, Trader Joe’s) make nut butters with only nuts, but they are NOT certified organic.

INSTEAD - Look for organic brands that only use peanuts (and perhaps salt) as the only ingredients. A few organic brands include Once Again, Santa Cruz, Woodstock, and Kirkland (organic only version).
