(I needed one or two for a photo shoot, and figured I'd just eat the rest.) I assumed that label meant that it was just fruit juice, but then I took a bite of one and threw the rest out-- it was fruit juice plus artificial sweeteners.

I never liked the taste and I figure it is not the original food item that causes the problems, it is that I eat too much of it. Oh and can anyone find regular yogurt? I used to get it at costco but now all I can find anywhere is low-fat or fat-free yogurt! AGGGGGHHHHHH

I seem to recall seeing this on packages for items like raisins and oatmeal. As always, some critical thinking is required... - Natalie
