Eating fruits (including berries) and vegetables probably decreases the risk of lung cancer and could prevent cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, and prostate, according to a review of hundreds of clinical studies conducted for the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research.
From Sugar to Sweets: The Dum Dums Lollipop Production Process. Dum Dums are made from a mixture of sugar and corn syrup. Dry sugar is brought to the candy factory in a train rail car. The sugar is removed from the rail car by using clean hot water. The corn syrup is brought to the candy factory in heated tanker trucks.
In October 2005 Dum Dums expand to 16 flavors! We have added new flavors Cherry Cola and Pink Lemonade! We have also brought back for our 100th anniversary some flavors from our long history. We have added Coconut-Pineapple (first introduced in 1953) and Banana (first introduced in 1960).
