Lasena Table Water 75cl
High in HFCS and artificial additives with negligible nutrition; scores low due to processed nature and health risks from excess sugars and dyes.
High sugar content; contains artificial dyes (Red 40, Blue 1) that may trigger allergies or hyperactivity in sensitive individuals. Use in moderation; not suitable for excessive consumption.
What's the verdict?
This ultra-processed syrup relies on high fructose corn syrup as the primary sweetener with artificial colors and preservatives; while it includes some pomegranate extract, it offers minimal nutritional benefits and is intended for occasional use in mixed drinks.
Ingredients
10 listed · 7 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- High Fructose Corn Syrup (Sweetener)Caution
Provides intense sweetness but linked to obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular risks due to high fructose content and glycemic load; offers empty calories with no beneficial nutrients.
- Water (Solvent/Base)
Acts as the primary liquid base with no direct nutritional impact; essential for texture but does not contribute positively or negatively to health.
- Citric Acid (Acidulant/Preservative)Caution
Adds tart flavor and helps preserve the product; generally safe but can erode tooth enamel or irritate the stomach in sensitive individuals when consumed frequently.
- Natural Flavor (Flavoring Agent)Caution
Derived from natural sources to enhance pomegranate taste; provides minimal nutritional value and lacks transparency, posing low risk but no significant benefits.
- Pomegranate Extract (Flavor/Antioxidant Source)Beneficial
Supplies polyphenols and antioxidants that may support heart health and reduce inflammation; a positive ingredient, though likely present in small quantities in this formulation.
- Sodium Benzoate (Preservative)Avoid
Inhibits bacterial growth to extend shelf life; generally safe but can form benzene (a carcinogen) when mixed with citric acid and may cause hyperactivity or allergic reactions in some people.
- Sodium Citrate (pH Regulator/Buffer)
Balances acidity and adds a small amount of sodium; considered safe with negligible impact on blood pressure at typical usage levels.
- Red 40 (Artificial Color)Avoid
Synthetic dye providing bright red hue; associated with allergic reactions, hyperactivity in children, and potential long-term health concerns including possible carcinogenicity with heavy intake.
- Calcium Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent)Caution
Protects flavor by binding trace metals; FDA-approved in limited amounts but may interfere with mineral absorption if consumed in very high quantities over time.
- Blue 1 (Artificial Color)Caution
Synthetic dye used to adjust color; may cause allergic reactions or behavioral issues in sensitive children and provides no nutritional benefits whatsoever.
