Warning to parents about CapriSun!!

[B_XALTED]

This reminds me of those commercials where the people be like "You know that has high fructose corn syrup in it?!?!?" And the other person is like "so... You know that has high fructose corn syrup has corn in it, and in moderatio has the same nutrition as sugar..." It cracks me up... Wooo... guess youd have to see the commercial to get what I am saying

[LaylaMonroe]

Yeah, I saw a few of those commercials. One of them cracked me up. I think they were eating a popsicle or something... the key is the moderation part... and the TRUTH is that most of the products we buy don't have "moderate" amounts of high fructose corn syrup. Most of them list HFCS as the first ingredient, or one of the first three. Like I heard one person say, those commercials are no different from the tobacco industry telling smokers nicotine isn't addictive. *shrug*

I can't talk too much about that because I never researched what the danger is in it. I just know they say it's bad. I have no idea why.

LOL They threw the "it's fine in moderation" defense out when they started putting it in everything. Everything. I always read the labels when I go grocery shopping. If it's not powdered, it most likely has HFCS in it. (slight generalization)


On another note: Whenever I pick up a drink, even if it's clear, I look in the bottle. Some times, there is a mucus-looking substance in the drink. If I see it, I don't buy it. It may just be the congealed HFCS, so it may only need to be shaken....but I don't like drinking snot.

[B_XALTED]

but I don't like drinking snot.

I hear its high in HFCS, so you may just want to drink it in moderation...

[nessalynn77]

LOL @ Drinking snot.  

@ Rue, I get what you're saying, and I know that I feel much better when I buy fruits and veggies and eat natural stuff like that.  It is more expensive, and requires more planning, which are the main reasons I haven't mastered consistency at the level I'd like.

And yet another one.... http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/bizarre&id=8519300

Kid thought he found a worm in his CapriSun. The makers of CapriSun say it wasn't a worm, it was mold. :-|

All the worthwhile foods rot. That's how you know they're good. Because they rot easily when exposed to air and not refrigerated. Rot and mold: The sign of something worth putting in your belly (Or, at the very least, no preservatives, which are supposed to be a bad thing...)

Yeah, like unlike that Mcdonald's Hamburger that was left out for 3 months and never rotted.

I read the synopsis in the OP, didn't check out the link...

I don't see what's the big deal. The pouch had been punctured somehow during the boxing process, and it grew mold. That's nothing special. It should grow mold if it isn't sealed and is closed up in a dark box. It's like opening a jar of salsa and then sticking it in a cupboard. Mold grows.
