All Natural .... - 05-11-2006, 08:53 PM


There aren't too many things that I see on the side of a product that make me more annoyed. For instance I am drinking a 7-Up.

Quote:
Now 100% Natural.
Whatever. The way I see it is that unless the Dr. Pepper/Seven Up corporation has a secret lab where they have cross polinated a citrus tree with an aluminum canning machine and developed a 7-Up tree that grows cans of soda somewhere in Plano Texas this is not 100% natural. Tops it could be 95% natural. Tops.

100% natural my ass.

Prophet out.

Actually the contents can be 100% natural. I used to work for the Dr. The only thing I wouldn't recommend drinking is the sugar free soft drinks. You don't want to know...

The FDA has does not have a standard definition for the term "All Natural". Because of this, many companies can slap that label on products and argue that they are not mis-leading the consumer. And "All Natural" does not mean that it is healthy.

The FDA does have a standard definition for the term "Organic". Only a few products that meet strict requirements are allowed to carry that term on the label.

As far as 7-up is concerned, the ingredient in question is "high fructose corn syrup" which, as you may have decifered, made from corn. The question remains to be answered if it can be labeled "All Natural" or "Kinda Natural" or whatnot.....
