why is this allowed?

[Anonymous No.4884855]

Because of the Jews

[Anonymous No.4884865]

Explain what your own about op.

[Anonymous No.4884883]

Hahahaha. Buy stevia, get corn sugar. Gotta love it. People are so dumb.

[Anonymous No.4884887]

Reminds me of those things that say 100% juice and then just below it says CONTAINS 27% JUICE.

[Anonymous No.4884892]

>>4884887

BUT THE JUICE THAT IS IN THERE IS 100% JUICE, BREJ

[Anonymous No.4884925]

but if its sugar why does it not have calories

[Anonymous No.4884961]

I remember reading something like that on the side of Juicey Juice

100% juice in big bold letters for advertising, and in smaller print a 20 something percent of actual juice

ingredients reconstituted fruit juice and water?

I have this argument all the time with the same person.
>"I only buy Juicy Juice because it's 100% juice!"
>"But did you read the ingredients? It's just water and juice concentrate."
>"NO, IT'S 100% JUICE. THE BOTTLE SAYS 'ALL NATURAL' ON IT"
>"Why not just buy fruits? There's no legal bearing on the words 'all natural' or '100% juice'."

Oh, a bag of freeze dried powder cheese and it says "all natural" on the box? That makes a lot of sense.

As long as there are less than 5 calories per serving they can round down to zero.

>>"Why not just buy fruits? There's no legal bearing on the words 'all natural' or '100% juice'."

While I sympathize with the gist of your argument, in the US, the FDA regulates the terms "all natural" and "100% juice" on labels in detail. In the case of reconstituted juice concentrate, see the table in title 21, chapter I, subchapter B, part 101, subpart B, section 101.30, subsection (h) for precise Brix levels for different types of fruit.

I say we just buy fruit and drink water. Juice seems like empty calories and they even have to add the citric/abscorbic acid in to get the vitamin C levels back to what they could be if you ate whole foods.

[Anonymous No.4885158]

>>4885101
Oh oh, I love the ones that says "100% Juice" and then are a juice mix, not 100% of the juice on the label.

that I don't personally have a problem with

what I find don't understand is why so many juices add cranberry

when I try and buy juice it's hard as hell to find juice that hasn't had cranberry added to it, especially the reduced sugar juices I try to buy

[Anonymous No.4885164]

>>4885158
Juicy Juice uses pretty much only pear/apple concentrate for all of them.

Was skeptical. Easily googled. "< 5 cal - express as 0."

It's funny because I hear it's supposed to be good for IBS symptoms...

[Anonymous No.4885211]

It's good for UTI but only the 100% juice stuff not the juice mixes.

well shit makes sense though i would say 5 calories are negligible

[Anonymous No.4885332]

>>4884992
I remember the first time I tried that stuff. On the commercial they say "100% juice" about fifty fucking times and when you taste it it's like tasting pure corn syrup.

[Xenos No.4885413]

Just be glad there is no ricin in it.

Buying anything but sugar
Why?

[Anonymous No.4885482]

>>4884847
Because without the dextrose instead of loose stevia that can be poured and measured you'd just have a box full of hard stevia chunks or a solid brick of stevia, and because the packaging clearly states that the contents include stevia multiple times so that literate customers know what they're getting?

the problem comes into what the serving size is since that <5 is per serving

a lot of the time the serving size is so small that you end up with several servings per use so you end up with a significant amount of calories

[Anonymous No.4885493]

Its to make sure the sweetness is evenly distributed throughout the whole food. The company probably has a lot of dextrose left over from something else, the people who make splenda use maltodextrin instead.

[Anonymous No.4885495]

I don't get it.

[Anonymous No.4885519]

>>4885495
i think that the whole reason people buy stevia is to avoid other unhealthy things and use it instead of sugar but then they put additives in it so it defeats the purpose. everyone will just buy a different brand of pure stevia that hasn't been adulterated.
