Little Debbie

I haven't had one in a long time.

You know what? I haven't had Little Debbie's in a while.

I

haven't either.

oatmeal cream pie.

Okay.

I think Lil Debbie is doing that every day across the country.

In front of stores.

And there are a lot of foods out there, a lot of the cakes, the Hostess cupcakes, the Drake's cakes, all that stuff.

They usually have a lot of these things, the Entenmann's case, all those things, Little Debbie's, all those things have a lot of ingredients you can't even pronounce and you should not eat it.

A lot of those things have lots of sugar, lots of seed oils.

Just read the ingredients.

I feel you.

When I was looking at this list of snacks, like I mean, Little Debbie's were on there.

I mean, these are there's like some staple snacks.

Hostess is

So Jell-O, sugar-free Jell-O, Ocean Spray, Diet Cran, grape juice, Cheetos, Takis, Kool-Aid, all of those had essentially red 40 levels that exceeded child and adult limits in one serving.

So that was one key takeaway.

There's something else called – now we're getting a little bit into the weeds here – glycidal esters, and they are contaminants that can form – Essentially, its end product is a little bit of a carcinogenic, right? And so they found excessive amounts of that in powdered donuts, Hostess powdered donuts, Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies, Skinny Cow vanilla ice cream sandwiches.

In fact, it's my last stat, I promise.

All right, your duck blind snack of choice, or I should say goose blind snack of choice.

Christmas tree cakes, Little Debbie's.

Okay.

My next question was going to be, what's your favorite little Debbie? I think we just answered that one.

All right.

Best hunt you've ever been on?

One thing you need to be aware of at this stage under this tip is the false choice that you're given very often and very often by big food manufacturers about what is junk food and what's not.

And so a great example of this false choice would be if you said, okay, I get it, Dr. Berry, I'm gonna stop drinking Pepsi and stop eating Little Debbie snack cakes and I'm gonna stop all that crap and I'm gonna replace it with whole grain breads and fruit smoothies.

Now to many people's ears, that sounds like an excellent swap.

Oh yes, that's much healthier, right? Hmm, not really.
