🚨 3 Toxic Target “Health” Foods (+ The Clean Swaps You’ll Want Immediately)
You’ll be shocked which "healthy" products didn’t pass the label test—and what I use instead.
You’re trying to do the right thing—shopping at Target, grabbing teas, cereals, and sugar-free “health” products that seem better than the obvious junk.
But here’s the truth: some of the worst offenders are hiding behind pretty packaging and “natural” claims.
Let’s break it down.
❌ Celestial Seasonings Chamomile Tea
Lab tests showed this tea contained unapproved pesticides, including Propachlor—a chemical linked to cancer. And the “natural flavors”? Totally undisclosed.
✅ SWAP: Traditional Medicinals Organic Chamomile – USDA organic, no hidden flavors, and rigorously tested for toxins. I also LOVE this tea most
❌ Torani Sugar-Free Syrup
Uses sucralose, an artificial sweetener linked to gut issues, insulin spikes, and possible cancer in animal studies.
✅ SWAP: Live Vessel Creamers – (use code: wakeup25) Made from organic maple syrup, no additives, and perfect in coffee or tea. Instead, you could get real vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract and mix that with non-gmo monkfruit for a zero glycemic option.
❌ Honey Nut Cheerios
Marketed as heart-healthy but loaded with BHT, GMOs, and artificial flavors.
✅ SWAP: Lovebird Honey Cereal – (use code: wakeup) No refined sugar, no junk oils, and packed with protein from sunflower seeds.
✅ These swaps are free because everyone deserves to know better.
But if you’re ready to go deeper…
