 "In August 2004, I received a mailing from public relations officials of Cadbury Schweppes alerting me to their latest product, 7up PLUS:
The idea for this product came directly from consumers, at least 6000 of them . .. [T]hese consumers. . . told us their ideal carbonated beverage would contain juice and added nutrients while being lower in calories. Although 7up PLUS is not intended to be a replacement for healthy beverage choices such as milk, juice or water, we feel it provides a more balanced choice for those consumers still seeking fun and refreshment with flavor."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "There is just enough juice in 7up PLUS to squeak by the FDA's famous "jelly bean rule," which says that food companies cannot put vitamins into candy, sodas, or other such products in order to market them as healthy. So there is juice in 7up PLUS —all of 5 percent. Credit Cadbury Schwe,ppes for ingenuity; the company was the first to figure out how to enrich soft drinks with nutrients but evade the jelly bean rule. More such products are sure to follow. It is not impossible to make a healthier soda but it is more expensive." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
 "It provides the sweetness in everything from soft drinks like 7up and root beer; fruit beverages like Snapple; and most baked goods including cookies, crackers, bread, and even ketchup. Food companies use large quantities of HFCS because it is very cheap. A single 12-ounce can of Coke or Pepsi has as much as 13 teaspoons of sugar in the form of HFCS. And because the amount of soda we drink has more than doubled since 1970 to about 56 gallons per person a year, so has the amount of HFCS we consume. In 2001, we ate or drank almost 63 pounds of it, according to the USDA."- Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.) |
