Yeah, to me “apple juice drink/beverage” implies that it’s a drink with a component of apple juice in it. If it were juice, it’d be called “apple juice,” wouldn’t it? Maybe “apple drink with juice” or “Beverage with apple juice” will please some people more?
Ummm…Mountain Dew?

The problem with juice is that the lines are fuzzy. It’s all made with concentrated juice and water. It can easily be sweetened by adjusting the ratio and adding more concentrate. White grape, pear and apple juice is often added because its sweet and flavor neutral.
That’s basically how fruit juice companies are able to avoid adding sugar and/or HFCS, from what I understand.
Yeah, 100% juice is extremely deceptive because of the fact that they can be made from concentrates and just not reconstitute it back to whatever “normal” percentage the actual juice should have of water.
I suppose if it says 100% natural juices NOT from concentrate, it might be a little better. But even fresh squeezed juice is still a lot of sugar.
It’s like saying you can’t call it chicken, but you can call it chicken meat.
Dammit! I came to post that.
My theory is that Nutella is taking the place of…Tide!
Same bunch swiped energy drink previously.
Sugar rush junkies?:dubious:
One thing, sugar is not bad.
Over-doing sugar is bad.
Second, nobody seems to remember that the serving size is two tablespoons,
the measuring kind, not the eating kind.
Thirdly, vanillin mentioned earlier is otherwise known as imitation vanilla extract
which is less expensive and something that nearly anyone who has ever made cookies from scratch has poured in a teaspoon or so of.
Fourthly, no one in their right minds feeds their children the same breakfast everyday unless they are financially impaired and then they would probably not be buying Nutella at $3.48 for 13 oz.
In comparison, a 16 oz jar of Jif creamy peanut butter is only $2.78.
So a child would potentially only be eating Nutella once a week maximum, on multi-grain toast alongside a glass of 100% orange juice and various seasonal fruit.
If you can afford to feed your children healthy, do. If you cannot, I doubt you would let them starve.
Getting away from the child subject, I am an adult. I am perfectly capable of reading the label, ingredients, warnings, etc. and deducing my own conclusions. Personally, regardless of whether it is healthy for me of not I am going to eat Nutella anyway.
Is Nutella good on brains?
If it’s good on grains, it’s good on brains!
Tropical oils that are nearly 100% saturated fat are bad. Eating them at all is bad. Nutella is about 45% palm oil. (And 40%+ sugar… the hazelnut content is somewhere below 13%.) It’s a “hazelnut spread” the way my turds are creamed corn the day after I eat a cob.
…which contain 200 calories, 11 grams of fat (3.5g saturated) and 21g of sugar.
In that *two-tablespoon *smear. Go ahead, measure out your smear next time and see how it compares to your usual dose. Probably bears about the same relationship as your usual bowl of cereal does to the 3/4 cup that determines the nutrifacts.
