Just a note about Go-gurt:<BR/><BR/>Go-Gurt: A Healthy Treat?<BR/>I was at the grocery store recently, and I started looking at mother nature's perfect food "Go-Gurt". I'm assuming that the name means yogurt for people on the go. Yoplait makes it, and Go-Gurt primarily marketed to kids.<BR/>Clever or Deceptive?<BR/>First of all, in the ingredients list at the bottom, see how sugar isn't the first ingredient? Well, an unsuspecting parent may think of that as a good thing, but they cleverly used two different sweeteners. If they'd only used one sweetener though, sugar be the first ingredient. Clever huh.<BR/>More Sugar than Coca-Cola<BR/>With regards to sugars. Coca-Cola has 3.25 grams of sugars per ounce. Go-Gurt has 4.89 grams of sugars per ounce.<BR/>Go-Gurt Ingredients<BR/>I thought I'd post these because they seem hard to find on the internet. Yoplait didn't make them very easy to find on their site.<BR/><BR/> * Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Milk<BR/> * Sugar<BR/> * Nonfat Milk<BR/> * High Fructose Corn Syrup<BR/> * Modified Corn Starch<BR/> * Kosher Gelatin<BR/> * Tricalcium Phosphate<BR/> * Potassium Sorbate (preservative)<BR/> * Carrageenan<BR/> * Natural And Artificial Flavor<BR/> * Carmine (a food additive for coloring, to make it you have to boil dried insects in water to extract the carminic acid)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
