Fooducate Blog - What's in a Cranberry Sauce?
Posted: 22 Nov 2011 04:22 AM PST
Cranberries are a native North American fruit that have found their way into Thanksgiving tradition alongside the Turkey and other dishes. Native Americans, who used the bitter and sour fruit for meat preservation, medicine, and dye, introduced it to hungry Pilgrims who at first were taken aback by the highly acidic flavor profile.
Today we know that cranberries are superfruit, loaded with beneficial antioxidants. But only 5% of cranberries are sold in their natural state. The rest turn into juice, sauce, or dried fruit. All these applications employ a generous dose of sweetener. These processing methods also have a substantial effect on the cranberry nutrient profile (i.e less antioxidants).
Let's take a look at a Thanksgiving tradition – cranberry sauce, served alongside the main dish. For today's analysis, a 14 ounce can of Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce.
What you need to know:
A quarter cup serving is about 2.5 ounces. It has 110 calories. 84 are from added sugars (5 teaspoons per serving).
That works out to the sauce being 76% sugar! Similar to a jam or jelly that you would eat.
Ingredients:
Cranberries, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Corn Syrup.
Not surprisingly, 2 of the 4 ingredients are sugars. Organic versions of this sauce may include table sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, but the nutrition profile is similar. And making a sauce on your own at home, you'll probably dump a lot of sugar into it as well.
Such is the flavor profile of edible cranberry products.
So what to do on Thanksgiving?
Enjoy the sauce, but stick to one serving (or less).

What a snack is to me
Now that Halloween is over and the children have had their fill of treats, it's time to start talking snacks. I consider snacks mini meals, something to eat when feeling peckish but you've got a while before a meal. A snack in my opinion should also provide nourishment for sure.
When I first started to "hang out" with my daughter Jas around the city, in my new mode of "healthiness," I wanted to make sure she had a good snack and would never feel hungry as I have in times of my life. So of course I read and researched and talked to her pediatrician about snack options. One day I heard somewhere that water is for thirst, milk is for snack and juice is for treat. Now people may not agree with that but I liked it and began to implement it. As I continued to learn more the snacks/treats I was giving her, my ideas kept changing. Here is where I am now and what I consider good snacks.
Yogurt - (but good a good quality one). Some of these yogurts may as well be a treat with all the sugar they have and very little nutrition. A good thick yogurt should be enough to stand alone, but the addition of a little granola can make it more substantial. Speaking of....
Granola/granola bars - Like yogurt, granola and granola bars can be full of unhealthy stuff, but if you take the time to look, you can find some good ones. Home made granola is best because it's fairly simple to make and you can put in all your favorite nutritious goodies in it. Eaten by the hand full, or turned into a bar, with a cup of milk (for me organic or grass-fed of course), can be a great snack.
Cheese – Cheese is always a good source of protein, but I find that just a cheese stick is not enough. So I usually serve cheese with fruit or veggies if possible. I don’t eat wheat products, so eating the Asian brown rice crackers is a nice snack with the cheese. But if you do eat wheat, a cheese sandwich or cheese and crackers is a great snack. Like cheese nut butters (if your child can have them) are great with fruit and in a sandwich or with crackers also. Sometimes we take popcorn and drizzle nut butter and honey over it, it's a snack disguised as a treat.
Fruit - I've mentioned twice already that fruit is great alone, but I often pair it with something to make it more filling. And I'm talking about real fruit not a squeeze pouch or fruit leathers I consider those treats to be had with water, as they have lots of sugar and minimal real nutrients
Veggies – Veggies are tricky, if you have a child that will eat raw or cold veggies more power to you. I know some people will roll their eyes at me for this, but I don't love baby carrots. They're processed in a way that I don't agree with. But if it came down to junk food or organic baby carrots, I'd choose the latter. Raw peppers (especially the yellow ones) I find can be tolerated by some children. My daughter likes them dipped in nut butter, as she does with apples, pears and of course can be done with celery.
Juice - I'm not a fan of juice, but there is one particular brand I like most of all. I consider juice to be a treat and I give it to Jas with chips or popcorn (of which I only buy a few brands).
I will sometimes give it as a treat with or after dinner. Never with a sweet treat, with those we have water or milk
I think that's all for now, and I hope I’m not forgetting anything....oh hummus can be a great snack to dipping stuff into, better if home made I feel, just to avoid unnecessary ingredients. Smoothies and real juiced veggies and fruit can be an excellent source of nutrients between meals if you have the time, knowledge, and equipment to make it yourself.
Since i'm not sure how advertising and all that works I have not provided names any of my favorite items but if you'd like to know just tweet me @jazzyhealth or email me lcyerra1@gmail.com

Fooducate Blog - 2 Thing You Can Do to Stop Junk Food Marketing to Kids |
| 2 Thing You Can Do to Stop Junk Food Marketing to Kids Posted: 09 Oct 2011 05:00 AM PDT Do your kids nag you to buy them some junk food after seeing a commercial or movie placement? Do you rather leave them at hope to avoid confrontations in the cereal aisle? Have you ever been surprised to discover that the online video game your child is playing features non other than a junk food cartoon mascot? Marketing junk food to kids has got to stop. Here's what you can do today to help: 1. Watch the video below 2. Sign the petition adressed to President Obama Excerpt from the petition: The Interagency Working Group on Foods Marketed to Children (IWG) has proposed reasonable, science-based nutrition guidelines to help provide a model for companies that market to kids. Unfortunately, the food industry and media companies are working to get Congress to stop the IWG from finalizing these sensible recommendations. Parents and kids don't have the power of big food companies. We can't fly to Washington, pay lobbyists or put pressure on federal agencies. That's why we're counting on our President to stand up for our kids. When we put children first, the plan of action is clear: companies should market the foods that keep kids healthy, not sugary cereals and other junk food. Please take a minute to sign the petition.
