Redbull and Haribo citric acid
-
I see many Peaters snacking on these 2 products that contain asparagus niger derived citric acid.
I am one of those, do you think it is really so harmful to have a little bit daily?
-
@PUFADestroyerPPO Gummy bears contain corn syrup why even eat?
-
@PUFADestroyerPPO I think the concerns for Red Bull are the aluminum can, the citric acid, the artificial colors (which they don't disclose what exactly they are), as well as the artificial sweeteners.
For Haribo, I've tried the German imported gummy bears and still had problems. Felt sick after eating them, I suspect it's the carnauba wax.
-
@PUFADestroyerPPO Perhaps not ideal but if gut is fine with it...
-
@peater people eat it because its a convenient cheap source of sugar and gelatin, corn syrup is no problem when it is pure
-
@PUFADestroyerPPO derived from cheap starch
-
@Sugar never even thought ab the artificial flavors
-
Haribo made in Germany and other places have less crap more straightforward sugar and gelatin. Try and search around. Even at the grocery store I’ve seen some have sunflower oil and some with palm oil. In a pinch palm is much better.
-
It’s probably fine. I don’t think they’d use ingredients in food if they could harm us.
-
@Charlie charlie... if it isn't you
-
@PUFADestroyerPPO yeah if you look into it, it's very very hard to find just gelatin, sugar, and juice gummy bears. Even the organic brands have sunflower oil in them, though I was a fan of these previous to Peat and my health journey. We need better gummy bears.

Is citric acid derived from aspergillus niger in Europe too? Is it allowed in EUs food regulations?
-
@Nvrprogsteralone here in Netherlands the haribo is often glucose syrup sugar and gelatin, is it much worse in America ?
-
@3D I have no idea but I think its allowed here, what else would they make it from? Not lemons, thats what i do know
-
@Sugar Yeah we gotta make big bucks with this big hole in the market
-
@Charlie it's not him. It's the retinyl palmitate leftover from his body.
-
@PUFADestroyerPPO it’s worse. sometimes red dyes and titanium dioxide. I know I’ve seen some with sugar. Maybe Germany or another location!
