If you are a fan of peanut butter cups, then you have probably eaten Reese’s peanut butter cups. Unfortunately, the ingredients aren’t good for our health.
Background
Mr. Reese invented them in 1928. He was a shipping foreman and a farmer but he started his candy company in the basement.
There are different shapes and sizes of Reese’s peanut butter cups. The chocolate and the peanuts aren’t a cause for concern but the other ingredients are.
Ingredients
Chocolate, milk, cocoa butter, milk fat, no fat milk, soy lecithin, PGPR, lactose, peanuts, salt, citric acid, TBGQ and sugar dextrose.
The ingredients that are questionable are:
-
Soy Lecithin
Soy lecithin is connected to breast cancer, cerebral abnormalities and it also has a negative effect on reproduction and fertility.
-
PGPR
Instead of cocoa butter, the manufacturer uses PGPR (polyglycerol polyricinoleate. It is made of castor beans and it causes allergic reactions and gastrointestinal problems.
-
TBHQ
The tertiary butyl hydroquinone can damage the lungs it can cause stomach cancer. The side effects of it are vomiting, ringing in the ears, nausea, and collapse. It can be really toxic.
