Nutritionist exposes sugary secrets of popular store products

"Many of the products we find on store shelves would be better for our health if they had never been created at all," emphasizes Dr. Michał Wrzosek in an Instagram post.

The nutritionist uploaded a clip online, in which he pours or sifts the contents of various popular products into glasses. Instead of Coca-Cola, sugar is poured into the glass. The same process is shown with energy drinks and breakfast cereals.

Rather than spreading Nutella on a slice of bread, the expert sprinkles sugar on it and pours oil over it. Dr. Wrzosek explains that he recorded the video this way to "clearly make aware those who do not know that many of today's products on store shelves are a combination of sugar, fat, white flour, and food additives."

"Of course, the difference between poison and medicine is the dose, and if we occasionally eat something like this, nothing will happen. And, of course, I exaggerate in this video, showing that Nutella is just sugar and oil (we do have, for example, 13% hazelnuts in there)," the nutritionist cautions.

Michał Wrzosek regularly posts videos on social media in which he recommends or advises against consuming certain products. A few months ago, the nutritionist noted, for example, that organic syrup from Lidl costs six times more than regular sugar and advised against buying it, explaining, "This product is just sugar and a bit of water."

The expert also criticized some products available at the Dino chain. He checked the ingredients of chicken fillet sausages from the Duda company. The nutritionist observed that the sausages "contain numerous fillers, additives, and sodium nitrate. They have 85% meat, which could be better." He also added that "no sausages are great."
