CSPI's 10 Worst Food and Supplement Scams of 2016

CSPI's '10 of the Worst Food and Supplement Scams of 2016' is a good reminder that some foods are not as they are made to appear. That is, the marketing does not match what is actually the product inside the container. For example:

"Suja Green Delight. A 12-ounce bottle of this “green” smoothie costs about $4. Its first ingredient is cheap, nutrient-poor apple juice, not the kale, spinach, or other veggies that consumers probably expect. Suja’s King of Greens and Easy Greens also have more apple juice than any of their greens."

 It is worth a look at how marketers try to capitalize on trends and unsuspecting consumers.
