CANDY… we love it (especially us Swedes), but do we stop to think about what it’s made off?

The main ingredients in gummi bears are gelatin (created by boiling connective tissue from combined animal skin, cartilage, and bones), lots and lots of sugar (which will age you quicker), corn syrup (cancer anyone?), and egg whites (yeah we’ve discussed how harmful protein from dairy is for your body).

Here I go with the word ”awareness” again, but just please take a moment to think about what your eating and how your daily food intake will affect you now and in the future. You are what you eat… So do you want your body to be made up of artificial gummi bears or a crisp green apple? Candy canes, or beautiful beets? You get the point…

If you have a sweet tooth, like myself, there is still raw chocolate out there…
