Chocolate, jellybeans and candies, ice-cream and crisps - FACTS

~~~ Chocolate is nice! Everybody knows that! 

Jellybeans are yummy and an ice-cream on a sunny, hot day is better than anything else! 

Some crisps while you watch your favourite movie - unbeatable! ~~~

BUT! 

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! 

DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU EAT???

IF YOU READ THIS, YOU WILL BE AMAZED!

GUARANTEED!

Let's see what is chocolate in real!

Chocolate does have good effects on your body! Chocolate has great health benefits. It helps with depression, high blood pressure, tumors and pre-menstrual syndromes. Chocolate is able to act as an anti-depressant by increasing serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain. One ounce of baking chocolate or cocoa contains 10% of the daily recommended intake of iron. It is interesting to note that more than twice as many women than men crave and eat chocolate. People spend more than $7 billion dollars a year on chocolate. But the sad news is: raw chocolate is high in cocoa butter, a fat which is removed during chocolate refining, then added back in varying proportions during the manufacturing process. Manufacturers add other fats, sugars, and milk as well, all of which increase the caloric content of chocolate. Also chocolate may be addictive! Some manufacturers provide the percentage of chocolate in a finished chocolate confection as a label quoting percentage of "cocoa" or "cacao". It should be noted that this refers to the combined percentage of both cocoa solids and cocoa butter in the bar, not just the percentage of cocoa solids. 

A 100g chocolate bar contains 540kcal, 63g carbohydrate of which 63g is sugar!!! It means 63% of a chocolate bar is sugar, 20% is cocoa butter, the rest is additives. 

So in real - you might don't even like the chocolate (as you never had real chocolate before, lol!), you like mostly the sugar with some additives and a bit of cocoa!

This is your sugar portion in 1 bar of chocolate!

Now let's see what about jellybeans and candies!

There are 4 calories per bean, or about 100 calories per single serving (25 beans). But who the fuck eats 25 beans???? When you eat some jellybeans, you eat at least 4-5 serving, which means 400-500kcal! 100g of jellybeans contains 70g sugar! (You will understand later why sugar is so bad for you!)

Sour candies contain about 340kcal in 100g with 60g of sugar! Usually they write on the pack: "No artificial  colour added" or "contains your daily C-vitamin" WHAT???? Really??? Please, don't believe for these bullshits! It never ever saw any C-vitamin in its candy-life! And your daily C-vitamin dose is NOT 35mg! It's at least 1000mg! So do you know what is in the jellybeans and candies??? You think you really know it??? Check it out!

• Glucose Syrup (which is sugar)
• Sugar (it's clear = sugar)
• Gelling Agent (Gelatine) - It's an interesting one. Gelatin has its own E number: 441. Do you know what is gelatine? Gelatin is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, boiled crushed horn, hoof and bones, connective tissues, organs and some intestines of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs and horses. Food-grade gelatin is produced mainly from two raw materials, beef skin and pig hide.
• Dextrose (which is???? Yep! Sugar)
• Citric Acid (this acid gives the sour taste, it has its own E number as well: 330)
• Malic Acid (this gives the sour taste as well, it has its own E number: 296, it can cause mouth irritation. It means you can get mouth ulcers from it)
• Caramelised Sugar Syrup (yeah-yeah-yeah - sugar)
• Flavourings - Flavoring substances that are obtained by synthesis or isolated through chemical processes, which are chemically and organoleptically identical to flavoring substances naturally present in products intended for human consumption. They cannot contain any artificial flavoring substances.
• Fruit and Plant Concentrates 
• Colours- Carmine - Lol! Another interesting one you would never expect! Hold on!!! Carmine is the name of the colour pigment obtained from the insect Dactylopius coccus. The insect is native to tropical South and Central America and produces the pigment as a deterrent against other insects. The pigment can be obtained from the body and eggs of the insect. Anyway...It has its own E number: 120. 
• Copper Complexes of Chlorophyll - Synthetic copper complex of chlorophyll (E140), a natural green colour, which is present in all plants and algae. E141 is commercially extracted from nettles, grass and alfalfa. Due to chemical de-esterification of chlorophyll, phaeophytins are formed.
• Invert Sugar Syrup (and a bit more sugar if it wasn't enough yet)

So yeah... it's true.. There are "no artificial colours" in it... INSECTS ARE TRUELY EXTREMLY NATURAL CREATURES - and we wish they would use artificial colouring. lol!

Let's do some maths:

Yeah, babe! When you eat your lovely jellybeans and candies and sour candies, you are eating boiled beef and pig skin, with a bit of crushed boiled horn, hoof and bones plus 60g different textures of sugar and a hint of insects! Is it still yummy???

Let's move on ice-creams!

Ice cream is not as disgusting as candies and jellybeans, the only proplem for us that is contains huuuuuge amount of sugar! Well.. if you want to make some ice-cream, you need 3 things: milk, loads of sugar and some flavouring. Basicly you are licking cold sugar. The result is: 

 

So it doesn't worth it!

And noooooow: Crisps!

100g of crisps contains 520kcal, 52,6g carbohydrates and 31g fat, the rest is salt and sugar.

So when you eat a pack of crisps, the third is just fat and more than half of your pack is clear carbohydrate - and not the good type of carbohydrate, plus a bit of sugar and salt. 

What? And you even pay for these???

Anyway... fancy a pack of sour candies, darling?
