So I am again shocked that products that you would assume by their ingredient content and appearance would have certain nutritional value, but actually have little or no value at all.
I am talking about Ocean Spray craisins dried cranberries. I had bought some a while ago from Costco (huge bag) mostly because they look like they would be healthy and chalked full of vitamin C. I get half way through the bag over a period of months, then I read the back of the bag and notice that there is 0% vitamin C, also it has the blurb at the bottom "not a significant source of vitamin C". I was shocked, and angered. Apparently the Juice has Vitamin C added, but not the sugar added treat.
This comes after I discovered certain juice products from Minute Maid do not contain vitamin C, when you would assume they should. Products like Minute Maid Lemonade!!
Lemons contain vitamin C, so doesn't the juice?!!
A single average lemon contains around 40% of your daily recommended intake of Vitamin C, so somehow the juice company either doesn't add any real lemon juice to their mixture, or they strip the normal vitamin C content out.
This pisses me off!!!
*note 100g of cranberries only has about 20% of your daily vitamin C....... and they do have other health benefits like antioxidants and what not.
Fun fact, that without vitamin C we would all die from scurvy?!
Also red peppers contain 4-5 times more vitamin C than oranges (per 100g), and broccoli has around twice the amount of an orange.
crazy stuff.

80% of the products with the health smart and sensible solutions labels are actually really really bad for you, not containing vitamin content and having high fat. Most of anything by a large manufacturer is usually shit. Stick to Planet Organic kid.
