This Popular Candy Is Linked To ADHD, Anxiety & Cancer!

The peanut butter cup was created by H.B. Reese in 1928. He was a dairy farmer who abandoned dairy farming to start the Harry Burnett Reese Candy Co. in the basement of his house in Hershey Pennsylvania.

After his death in 1956, his candy company was took over by his six sons. They merged the company with the Hershey Chocolate Corp in 1963 receiving 666,316 common stocks valued at $23.5 million dollars in 1963.

Currently there are twenty types of Reese’s peanut butter cups. We are not questioning the original ingredients of this product in the past, but over time they got changed and are causing controversy.

For instance instead of cocoa butter, PGPR (Polyglycerol polyricinoleate) is used as a substitute. Although it is approved by the FDA as safe, it can cause some heath problems like liver enlargement if consumed in higher doses.

The other ingredients found in the b=peanut buttercup are : chocolate, no fat milk, salt, milk fat, peanuts, sugars, citric acid, lecithin, cocoa butter , lactose, PGRP, soy, dextrose and TBHQ.

1. Soy Lecithin

A high percent of the soy used in the USA is GMO (genetically modified) More precisely, it’s 93% genetically modified. Soy lecithin can cause serious health problems and it has negative effects on reproduction and fertility. It can trigger the development of breast cancer cells and it may even cause serious cerebral  and behavioral problems.

2. PGPR

Polyglycerol polyricinoleate is used as a substitute for cocoa butter because it costs less money. PGRP is obtained from castor beans, and it reduces the viscosity of chocolate. According to various studies, this substance can cause allergies and gastrointestinal problems in children.

3. TBHQ

Tertiary butylhidroquinone is also a toxic substance that is  obtained from petroleum. It can cause some side effects such as vomiting, nausea, delirium and even collapse. Some research shows that it can severely damage the lungs and even cause stomach cancer. In children this ingredient causes restlessness, anxiety and intensified ADHD symptoms.
