Dirty sodas have a dirty secret (don't drink before reading)

I've noticed that “dirty sodas” seem to be popping up at every fast food restaurant lately. Have you noticed that too?

Well, let me tell you... they're hiding a dirty secret.

Crumbl's dirty sodas recently went viral after it was leaked that they contain an absolutely astronomical amount of sugar... up to 186 grams in a single drink! 

That's insane. So I had to look deeper. Besides the sugar, what else was lurking in their dirty sodas?

My team contacted Crumbl because their ingredients had vanished from their website. That was suspicious. They published all ingredients online in the past, and I've shared exactly what nasty stuff is found in their cookies.

I was blindsided by the way they responded…

Crumbl has officially scrubbed their ingredient lists from their website. Here's exactly what they told us when we asked what's in their dirty sodas:

"We've removed the full ingredient lists as they contain proprietary information." 

Proprietary is a fancy word for secret.

But I’m not buying that…

Almost every major fast food chain, like McDonald's, Subway, Starbucks, Taco Bell, and Chick-fil-A, have their full ingredient lists published on their websites for everyone to see, and have for years.

People deserve to know what they're eating and drinking. 

There is no logical reason for a restaurant to refuse to disclose ingredients... unless they're hiding something.

Crumbl doesn't want you to know, and that is a major red flag.

The U.S. government doesn't require restaurants to disclose full ingredient information, only allergen info. So chains like Crumbl are given a free pass to hide their ultra-processed ingredients from you and leave you completely in the dark. How are we supposed to take control of our health if we don't even know what we're eating?

Here’s what we do know…

They're taking a soda like Dr. Pepper, full of high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, and artificial flavors, and making it 10 times worse with stacked syrups, creams, and mystery ingredients.

Don't do this to your body.

You can make a clean version at home that actually tastes amazing and gives you 20 grams of organic protein with no refined sugar.

Truvani Strawberry Cream Clean Dirty Soda

• 1 scoop Truvani Strawberry Protein
• 1 cup Mountain Valley Sparkling Water
• ¼ cup organic strawberry juice
• 2 tbsp organic coconut cream or coconut milk
• ¼ cup fresh strawberries
• 1 cup spring water ice cubes
• ½ tsp organic vanilla extract (optional)

Directions:

1. Froth or whisk 1 scoop Truvani Strawberry Protein with ½ tsp organic vanilla extract and a splash of sparkling water until smooth.
2. Fill a glass with 1 cup spring water ice cubes and ¼ cup fresh strawberries.
3. Pour 1 cup sparkling water and ¼ cup organic strawberry juice over the ice.
4. Spoon 2 tbsp coconut cream on top.
5. Slowly pour the protein mixture over the cream layer and enjoy!

You could do this with any organic juice like pineapple, watermelon, orange, or raspberry and Truvani Vanilla Protein. Delicious!

Don't let Crumbl get away with hiding their ingredients. Share this on Instagram and Facebook with anyone still buying their dirty tricks.

Don’t buy this type of fish

I've spent years telling you to read labels, ask questions, and never assume "natural" means clean.

When it comes to fish and seafood, this is especially important because there is so much that the label doesn’t tell you. 

For example…

Some varieties of fish and seafood are high in mercury. You want to avoid this because mercury is a powerful neurotoxin that accumulates in the brain. It’s especially damaging to children and pregnant women. 

(Fish with known high levels of mercury include shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico). 

But that is not all you need to look for…

I typically would tell you to avoid most fish and seafood found in grocery stores…

Most fish is raised in farms that use a lot of GMO corn, soy, and antibiotics. Salmon are fed food coloring pellets to make them turn bright pink and left to grow in toxic pools with high levels of chemical pesticides. These pesticides and chemicals can wind up on your plate. 

So when I went looking for seafood I could actually trust, I didn't expect the answer to be a farm.

It's how I found Seatopia.

Seatopia works with a small group of farms doing the opposite of all of that. Low-density pens. No antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs. Feed built on micro-algae oils instead of junk.

They control the feed, test the water, and measure what's inside before it ships.

Done this way, farmed can be cleaner than you think. Because they control how the fish are raised, they can prove what's in them.

Then they do the part almost no one in seafood does: they lab test it.

Every farm partner gets screened. Here's what the testing confirms:

• Mercury ≤0.1 ppm, well below the FDA limit and lower than most wild seafood
• Zero detectable microplastics, verified by a third-party lab
• High omega-3s (DHA + EPA), the fats your brain and heart actually need
• No antibiotics, no hormones, no GMOs

They're the only seafood company I've found that tests every product this way. Not a spot check on the boat it came from, the actual fish you're eating.

The branzino, smoked trout, and salmon are what we keep coming back to. When you order something like this at a restaurant, you're paying a premium for it. Now I make it at home for a fraction of the cost, and it tastes better than most restaurant versions I've had.

The Food Babe community saves $20 OFF your first order with code FOODBABE at checkout.

I'll never tell you to stop asking questions about your food. This is me answering one of the biggest ones I get.

Vani

P.S. When you order, Seatopia sets up a one-on-one call with a chef so you know exactly how to cook what you get. If branzino has ever intimidated you, that part alone is worth it.

One DQ Blizzard isn't going to kill you

Have you ever been shamed for not taking your kids to Dairy Queen?

I get it all the time... 

"It's just a treat, relax." 

"One Blizzard isn't going to kill you."

But here's the thing. It's not about never having fun. It's about knowing the truth about what's actually in your food so you can make an informed choice.

And that's exactly why you need to read this email.

There's an ingredient BANNED in Europe due to serious safety concerns hiding in thousands of American food products right now.

The worst part…

It’s not always labeled explicitly on an ingredient list so you may not even know it's in there. 

This very controversial chemical is called Titanium Dioxide, and it often hides under "color added" or "artificial color" on ingredient lists.

It’s an artificial whitening agent added to make food appear brighter and more appealing.

European scientists found it “no longer safe to eat” based on their review of hundreds of scientific studies showing that it has genotoxic effects. 

This means it has the ability to damage DNA, potentially leading to cancer.

To protect their citizens, Europe banned it back in 2022. 

So the next time someone tells you you're overreacting for skipping the DQ drive-thru... show them this:

We contacted DQ about their cult-favorite S'mores Blizzard… and they admitted that it actually contains titanium dioxide - hidden under the term “artificial color”.

And you might think you'd only find this in fast food and “treats”... but it could be hiding in some of the "healthy" products in your fridge right now too.

Food corporations sometimes add titanium dioxide to cottage cheese and other dairy products just to make them look brighter and whiter. 

We contacted Knudsen directly about their Fat Free Cottage Cheese and they confirmed it — hiding right there under "Artificial Color" on the ingredient list.

And companies also don’t need to tell you HOW MUCH titanium dioxide is in their products. 

New tests from Consumer Reports found that a single serving of Hostess Donettes contains 760 times more titanium dioxide than all other products they tested combined. 

Yes: 760 times! 

It’s outrageous that food corporations know the truth about titanium dioxide, but still keep using this ingredient. 

Several states have proposed bills to ban this chemical from school food and the FDA has added it to their list of substances to review, but it will take time.

In the meantime, the best way to get companies to remove ingredients linked to cancer is to STOP buying products that contain them.

Titanium dioxide is banned from certified organic food, so if you're already choosing organic, you're automatically avoiding it. Win win! 

Check every ingredient list for titanium dioxide, artificial color, or color added – and please share this information with someone you know who needs to see it.

Xo,
Vani

7 reasons I replaced my mattress (and won't go back)

We change our sheets every week. We flip the pillows. We buy organic everything.

Then we sleep on the same mattress for 8 years and never once ask what's inside it.

Here are 7 reasons you might want to.

1. Formaldehyde is in there. The same chemical used in funeral homes works as a cheap adhesive in conventional mattresses. No label required, so most people have no idea they're breathing it all night.
2. The VOCs don't stop off-gassing. One memory foam mattress, independently tested, came back emitting 61 different VOCs. Benzene and naphthalene included. Both known carcinogens.
3. Fiberglass is hiding under the cover. Actual glass fibers, used as a flame barrier. If the cover ever comes off, they can spread through your entire bedroom.
4. You spend a third of your life on it. 8 hours a night, breathing whatever's in there. I'm careful about what goes in my body during the day. Ignoring the other third made no sense.
5. Flame retardants are standard. Toxic chemicals sprayed on so the mattress passes flammability rules. They're on the MadeSafe Restricted List of 6,500+ banned ingredients, which most mattresses couldn't pass.
6. The industry isn't regulated. Walter Bader, who had conventional mattresses tested for his book Sleep Safe in a Toxic World, compared it to cigarettes in the 1930s: completely unregulated, and everyone assumes they're safe.
7. There's a clean version that costs less than you'd think. That's the one that actually got me to replace mine.

I sleep on the Natural Escape Organic Mattress from My Green Mattress, and it's made completely differently. Organic wool quilted into the cover acts as a natural flame barrier, no chemicals needed. Every mattress is hand-tufted with cords and buttons instead of glue.

The Natural Escape:

• “GOTS” certified organic cotton and wool
• GOLS certified organic latex
• GREENGUARD Gold Certified, tested for 10,000+ VOCs
• ZERO polyurethane foams
• NO flame retardants
• Handcrafted in the USA
• Dust mite & allergen resistant

And here's the part people don't expect: it's the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. Supportive without the sinking memory-foam feeling, and I wake up without the back stiffness I used to accept as normal.

Right now the Food Babe Army gets the biggest savings of the season:

• $300 off King
• $200 off Queen and Full
• $125 off Twin
• 15% off Crib & Accessories
• Plus when you use code FOODBABE you’ll save an extra $10 off your cart (purchases of $339+)

Get your own non-toxic mattress here

365-night risk-free sleep trial. 20-year warranty. If it's not the best sleep of your life, send it back.

Vani

P.S. Each mattress is handcrafted to order and ships in 2–5 business days, so the sooner you order, the sooner you're sleeping on it.
