So they concocted… vanilla-flavored ketchup! And guess what? Two-thirds of those bottle fed with vanilla as infants preferred the vanilla ketchup, whereas two thirds of the rest were like “blech!” and chose the regular ketchup. They had to choose something that no one would have ever associated with vanilla. But they couldn’t just use your typical vanilla flavored confection because it could introduce too many other new variables. Do we subconsciously remember tastes and smells from our infancy before we could even put them into words? They realized that there was a time certain German infant formulas were flavored with vanilla, so they challenged a group of adults with a vanilla-containing food. Researchers wanted to know if our olfactory memory goes back even further than our verbal memory. The most unusual vanilla study may be one published out of Germany in 1999. There was also a study showing that vanilla extract may interfere with bacterial communication, concluding vanilla “might promote human health by…preventing bacterial pathogenesis.” There are two in vitro studies that suggest vanillin, one of the many aromatic compounds in vanilla, may be protective against colorectal and cervical cancer, but no clinical or epidemiological studies have been published to my knowledge. Given its popularity, I was surprised there wasn’t more science published on the health effects of vanilla orchid fruit phytonutrients. The vanilla question is interesting, though. Regular commercial almond milks often offer fortification of: I discuss this in more detail in my video Prostate Cancer & Organic Milk vs. In contrast, almond milk suppressed the growth of these cancer cells by over 30%.
If the only way you would drink green tea is with the sweetened variety, then overall it would be healthier for you to stick with the added sugar (though your taste buds would probably adapt to the unsweetened variety), or you could try adding a harmless sweetener such as date sugar.Īlmond milk is certainly superior to calf’s milk, if only because of the lack of saturated animal fat, cholesterol, and hormones (see, for example, my videos Acne & Cancer Connection and Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero )Ĭows’ milk has been found to stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells in each of 14 separate experiments, producing an average increase in cancer growth rate of over 30%. We get only about 2,000 in the calorie bank every day–why not try to make them count? So almond milk versus almond milk with added sugar is a no-brainer decision for me, but I guess it depends on what you’re using it for.
In general, I’m in favor of cutting down on intake of empty calories whenever possible. What Is The Difference Between Sweetened And Unsweetened Almond Milk? Is almond milk healthier than calf’s milk? And is unflavored, unsweetened almond milk preferable to sweetened vanilla?
