    I mean, you don’t need to spread rumours…

    Anthocyanin isn’t FDA approved as a food additive, so this company bioengineered it to have more “naturally” to get around FDA regulations to pump a fruit full of something no evidence shows has a health benefit and is just cranking up the sugar content.

    There’s absolutely no reason to make shit up, and using science would be more effective.

    The target demographic they’re going after by marketing it as a health food are going to be interested to find out it’s actually more unhealthy than normal tomatoes.
