"You buy a pack of frozen waffles at the store and see that they contain &amp;quot;real blueberries.&amp;quot; Great, you think--antioxidants! But wait, the berries hanging in many breakfast products--from oatmeal to cereal and waffles--may be fakes. Just want until you hear what they&amp;#x27;re made of... According to a new report from NBC, the berries in many mainstream food products aren&amp;#x27;t really berries--even despite the product packaging claiming &amp;quot;real fruit&amp;quot;! Instead, food companies have found a less expensive way to create berries that taste and look like the real thing, but they&amp;#x27;re not. From Special K Fruit and Yogurt cereal to Aunt Jemima&amp;#x27;s and Eggos blueberry waffles, according to Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer watchdog group--they&amp;#x27;re fakes. &amp;quot;It has blueberry bits,&amp;quot; Jacobson said, adding, that it&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;mostly sugar and soybean oil, then little bits of real blueberry that&amp;#x27;s been artificially colored.&amp;quot; So these lab-made berries are actually shaped into balls and dyed to look like the real deal. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s fake.&amp;quot; Yuck! Sorry, I&amp;#x27;m not into blueberries made with soybean oil blue dye. How can you tell if your breakfast is the real deal? Glance at the ingredient label and make sure it&amp;#x27;s free of excessive oils and doesn&amp;#x27;t contain any artificial coloring or flavoring, say experts. Or, better yet: make your own blueberry waffles. :) Have you found any fake blueberries in your food? P.S. Make these: blueberry pancakes. And, no artificial ingredients here: quinoa-blueberry breakfast bars. Photo: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
