Exclusive investigation: Fruits are FAKED in breakfast cereals! See the list of which cereals have real fruits vs. fake, imitation "counterfeit" fruits!
(NaturalNews Investigations) Call it consumer fraud! Many of the "fruits" used in popular breakfast cereals are really just fake fruits made out of refined factory ingredients like:
• Artificial coloring chemicals
• GMO corn starch
• GMO soybean oil
• Corn syrup solids
So which breakfast cereals can you really trust to deliver REAL fruits versus FAKE fruits?
In
this investigation, we examine nine popular cereals. In each picture
below, you'll see the cereal box image, a microscopy photo of the
"fruit" in the cereal, and a snapshot of the ingredients label.
trust the cereal box to tell the truth! As you can see on this box of
Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats, the front of the box shows a picture of
fresh strawberries. But the cereal doesn't contain any strawberries.
Instead, it contains petrochemical-derived food coloring chemicals and soybean oil almost certainly derived from GMOs.
The
box claims the cereal is made from "100% Whole Grain" but never
mentions the artificial chemical colors, corn syrup, soybean oil or
questionable ingredients.
The box imagery also falsely implies
that you're buying and eating real strawberries, and this same deception
is repeated across nearly all popular cereals.
In fact, this
microscope image shows that the "strawberries" in Kellogg's Frosted
Mini-Wheats are really just artificially colored bits containing no real
fruit at all!
As you can see from the ingredients label shown on
the right, the real ingredients used to fake the strawberries in
Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats are:
• Corn syrup
• Artificial flavor
• Soybean oil (most likely from GMOs)
• Gelatin
• Citric acid (most likely from GMOs)
• Red #40 (artificial coloring chemical)
• Blue #2 (artificial coloring chemical)
• Blue #1 (artificial coloring chemical)
That's not fruit! When you eat Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats, you're eating a mouth full of chemicals!
That's why I think the product name should be changed to Kellogg's Frosted Mini-CHEATS!
Instead,
you get the usual artificial coloring chemicals, sorbitol, soybean oil
and a toxic chemical preservative called "BHT" which is described as
being used "for freshness" to make it sound delightful instead of toxic.
The
front panel of the cereal box depicts a small Mini-Cheat character
juggling three blueberries, adding to the charade which attempts to
fraudulently imply the cereal is made with real blueberries.
The
very name of the cereal claims it to be "All Berries," the the cereal
is shaped and colored in order to invoke a visual response from human
brains which are hard-wired to be on the lookout for fresh,
brightly-colored berries in nature.
But a closer examination of
one of these berries under the microscope (see center picture, above)
reveals an artificial starchy concoction that looks more like glowing
kyptonite than a real piece of fruit.
So what, exactly, are these
Cap'n Crunch "berries" really made of? Although there's a small amount
of "strawberry juice concentrate" in the product, it's mostly made from:
• Corn flour (most likely GMO)
• Sugar (highly refined and stripped of minerals)
• Artificial colors like red #40, yellow #5 and blue #1
Even the added B vitamins are added as isolated chemicals, not as food-based nutrients derived from nature.
What's funny is that Cap'n Crunch is a PIRATE, of course, and his cereal is literally pirating Mother Nature by trying to fake berries and vitamins.
Loops cereal is another big fake. Although it implies it's made from
real fruit, there's actually no fruit found in a box of Froot Loops!
Instead, you get five different artificial colors, one for each fake "fruit" in the box:
• Yellow #5
• Red #40
• Yellow #6
• Blue #2
• Blue #1
Plus, as a bonus, Froot Loop gives you partially-hydrogenated genetically modified soybean and / or cottonseed oil, just in case your arteries aren't clogged up enough.
Oh, and did you notice the No. 1 ingredient in this cereal is SUGAR? There's more sugar in it than there is corn flour!
the deception geniuses at General Mills wanted to launch a new TOTAL
cereal named "Blueberry Pomegranate," they decided the cereal would be a
heckuva lot more profitable if they didn't put any actual blueberries
or pomegranates in it.
And thus was hatched the TOTAL con job cereal shown here in all its fraudulent glory.
A
quick glance at the ingredients list reveals the cereal contains no
fruit whatsoever. It does, however, contain the chemical sweetener
Sucralose, plus a long list of different sugars and artificial colors.
Notice the complete lack of pomegranates or blueberries in all this? Apparently the people at General Mills think customers are TOTAL idiots for buying their cereals because, apparently, everybody is too stupid to notice there's no actual fruit inside.
Under
the microscope, we couldn't find anything that even looked like a piece
of fruit. The closest object we found was this nugget that looks like a
shriveled alien fetus of some kind...
you ever wondered what blueberries are really made of? According to the
HEB company, a large grocery chain in Texas, "blueberry and pomegranate
bits" are made of:
• Dextrose
• Palm oil
• Corn flour
• Natural flavor
• Citric acid
• Color extracts
Once
again, there is no actual fruit found in this box of cereal. Even the
formulators seemed to be totally confused as to which fruit they were
trying to fake, exactly, because there are raspberries shown on the
front of the box but the fake ingredients say "pomegranate bits" which
aren't shown anywhere.
That's the thing about committing product
fraud: you have to remember to keep your story straight so that your
fraud is consistent. Otherwise, it just looks stupid.
the Kellogg's company does know what real fruit looks like because they
put some of it in their Special K "Red Berries" cereal.
As you
can see from the ingredients label, this cereal contains "freeze-dried
strawberries" and doesn't have to resort to all the artificial coloring
chemicals typically used to fraudulently depict counterfeit fruit bits.
Notice the cereal also contains no BHT preservative?
yet another positive note, the Post cereal company actually uses real
fruit in some of their cereals. Their "Blueberry Morning" cereal really
does contain blueberries, as it shown right on the ingredients label.
And sure enough, under a high-powered microscope, you can find the actual blueberries.
There is so much fraud and deception in the food industry these days, that finding actual fruit is a rarity!
you're really looking for honest cereal made with actual fruit and not a
bunch of toxic chemicals, look no further than Erewhon Strawberry
Crisp.
The strawberries are 100% real (and plentiful), the first
three ingredients are organic, and the front of the box shows a photo of
what's actually in the cereal instead of using deceptive fruit images
like most other cereals.
Aside from all that, Erewhon is an
honest company making simple, honest cereal products across the board.
When you buy cereal, you vote with your dollars. So vote for honest
companies every change you can get!
But when cereal companies do the same thing, it's considered "business as usual."
The
FDA does nothing about it, allowing these deceptions to continue in the
marketplace while tens of millions of consumers are deceived and
swindled. Even the FTC, which regulates product marketing and
advertising, seems completely uninterested in the massive fruit fraud
taking place on every grocery store shelf across America.
Apparently, product fraud is perfectly acceptable if you're a large enough food corporation.
After all, if consumers are too stupid to check the ingredients before
buying (and eating!) these cereals, why should food manufacturers bother
to use genuine ingredients in the first place?
In the minds of
big food corporations, Americans are truly complete morons who will eat
almost anything as long as it's artificially colored and shaped to
resemble a piece of fruit.
• Artificial coloring chemicals
• GMO corn starch
• GMO soybean oil
• Corn syrup solids

Why can cereal companies commit total FRAUD?
