Thoughts..

As you can see, these two similar (but also very different) popular Halloween candies contain very different ingredients. Which will react within your body very different and potentially have long term effects. The typical candy that's given out is filled with the furious 5. Has sugar, corn syrup, milk, soy and artificial colouring in them. Some of which are know to induce attention disorders within children. Where as the organic lollipop has organic cane sugar and coloured with fruits & vegetables. A much more healthier version of a lollipop. 

This Halloween, pickup natural, organic, good for you treats from Natura Market. They all still taste great and will not cause any cravings, energy crashes, or alter your mind in a negative way like typical sugar does.

  • Sugar is known to create inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, make acne worse and can cause depression.
  • Corn Syrup increases your risk of gaining weight, obesity & diabetes. It's also banned in the UK. Consuming to much corn syrup can also make you insulin resistant. 
  • Artificial Colours are linked to behavioural problems within children. They increase inflammation in your body and weaken your immune system.
