It really should come as no surprise that artificial flavors and colors aren’t good for you. The word “artificial” should be a dead giveaway. But if you’re curious to know some of the specific reasons why they are two things you should avoid, they have been linked to headaches, fatigue, chest pains, nausea and can even trigger allergy symptoms. Certain ones (and there are literally thousands of different kinds) have also been linked to genetic disorders, tumors and bladder cancer (yikes!).

Artificial flavors (and colors) taste and look good. Plus, they’re in so many different kinds of foods. That’s why a lot of us consume them anyway. But if you want to go with a much healthier alternative, how about fruit powder?

The Scoop: 

Fruit powder is dehydrated fruit that’s prepared in a way that can be, by far, the best substitute for artificial flavors and colors. It’s also really easy to make. Read on to learn about the hottest new trend we should all be trying! 

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
