You read part one and checked your cheese and honey.
But wait till you find out what’s in your vanilla, tea, and even lemon juice. Here are 11 more fake foods that could be tricking your taste buds.
Some cheap brands include twigs, corn, or even paper fillers.
Tip: Buy whole beans and grind them yourself for freshness and authenticity.
Many “100% juices” contain very little real fruit and are mostly flavored water.
Check the label: “juice drink” or “cocktail” = a fake out.
Ever had “frozen dessert” instead of real ice cream? It likely contains palm oil, not dairy.
If it melts weirdly or feels waxy, it’s not the real thing.
“Cheese product” or “cheese food” = not real cheese.
Stick to block cheese with short ingredient lists: just milk, salt, and enzymes.
Some contain artificial colorings and tea dust, not real leaves.
Buy loose-leaf or brands that list single origin sources.
Most grocery balsamic is just wine vinegar + caramel coloring.
Look for bottles labeled “Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale” and aged for at least 12 years.
Most cinnamon sold is actually cassia, not the milder, sweeter Ceylon cinnamon.
Check the label: “True cinnamon” is Ceylon.
Often full of preservatives, sulfites, and flavor enhancers.
Fresh lemons beat bottled, every time.
Imitation vanilla = synthetic vanillin made from… wood pulp.
Real vanilla extract has vanilla beans, alcohol, and nothing else.
That “buttery spread”? Likely margarine with hydrogenated oils.
Real butter has just cream (and maybe salt). That’s it.
Fake foods are everywhere — and they’re not just hurting your wallet.
They mess with your health, taste buds, and trust in food labels.
🔁 Share this with someone who needs to read the label twice.
🍴 Stay curious. Stay sharp. Eat real.
