We all love Halloween. It is a time to forget the trials of everyday life and become whatever we want (even if it is for one night)!
Perhaps the greatest part of Halloween — the candy! Diets go out the window and we enjoy our favorite candy with family and friends.
There is one candy however that we should look out for. This candy ruins teeth, contributes to obesity and high blood pressure, and overall contains no nutritional benefit. This candy is Sour Patch Kids.
Like many of its sour counterparts, it is well known that Sour Patch Kids take a major toll on tooth enamel. This is due to the high acidity of the candy, and the constant need to chew leads to the effects worsening.
Another killer contained in Sour Patch Kids is high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup leads to things like obesity, hypertension, organ damage, etc. It is something that should be avoided whenever possible. Other things like high concentrations of food coloring and artificial sweeteners also contribute to this negative stigma.
It is fair to say that Sour Patch Kids are big trouble in a tiny plastic pack; this is not the case for all tiny plastic packs though.
Moose Pharmacy offers a great service called MoosePacks! This service coordinates all prescribed medications in labeled packages according to day and time these medications should be taken, completely eliminating the need to individually divide your medicine!
This service has no extra charge, and Moose will also deliver the packs directly to you for free! So the next time you see a pack of Sour Patch Kids and think of all the negatives brought to your attention by this post, also remember the positive impact MoosePacks and Moose Pharmacy can have on your pharmacy experience!
