The REAL Horrors of Halloween

Hi.
Today I'm going to talk about the true horrors of Halloween. What is the true horror? Zombies? Ghosts? Frankenstein? The answer is hydrogenated oil, and partially hydrogenated oil.

Hydrogenated oil (and partially hydrogenated oil), stay in your body and: Can cause cancer, will clog your arteries, is as bad as breathing in cigarette smoke, will stay in your body, will slowly kill you, hurts your cells, and is under the list of POISON.

Lots of candy bars and other candies have hydrogenated oil in them, so.....
Here is a list of (some of) the GOOD candy, (without hydrogenated oils):

=Swedish Fish

=Dubble Bubble Gum

=Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

=UTZ Halloween Pretzels

=Sweet Tarts

=Smarties

=Nerds

=PayDay

=Lemon Head candies

=M&M's

=Crunch candy bars

=Wonka Bottle Caps

=Hersey Chocolate Bars

=Mike and Ike's

=York Peppermint Patties

Some of the BAD candy (candy WITH hydrogenated oil) is:

=Reese's Pieces

=Lollipops

=Hard Candy (Glacia, Jolly Rancher's, etc.)

=3 Musketeers

=Twix

=Twizzler Licorice

=Snickers

=Milky Way

=KitKat

=Almond Joy

=Tootsie Roll

=Reese's FastBreak

=StarBursts

=Laffy Taffy

=Butterfinger

=Whoppers

=Now and Later

=Mary Jane

=Baby Ruth

=Skittles

=Robin Eggs

There are 15 'good' candies listed, and 21 bad candies listed. So next year, look through the Halloween candy, watch out for the bad candy (all candy is bad for you, with all that sugar, but hydrogenated oil is worse), and look at this post for updates on candy with hydrogenated oil.

Until next time,
Chiara

Hi! Welcome to the Green News! Every two weeks, check this section for new news. Today's headlines are:

Save The Saker!
Saker falcons are an endangered species.

The Saker falcon's preferred prey became extinct, and now, Saker falcon numbers are declining.

People are trying to save this bird, and its habitat, which is getting destroyed by people farming, and digging for oil.
