Do maraschino cherries cause cancer?

I don't know about cancer, but as a diabetic, I avoid them completely because they are loaded with heavy sugar syrup and preservatives. It is better to eat fresh, natural cherries anyway for your health.

If you scan the ingredients on most food tracker apps, you'll see those cherries have zero nutritional value and lots of added preservatives. Better to track your daily clean eating and swap them out for fresh berries.

I completely understand why you are anxious, as I also panic when I read about cancer risks in daily foods. But please take a breath, occasional consumption is harmless and won't hurt you.

We already spend so much on basic healthcare and monthly groceries, why waste money on expensive imported processed items that aren't even good for health? I buy local seasonal fruits, they are cheap and much healthier.

Oh my god, is this true? I eat them in mocktails all the time and now I'm getting so scared. Has anyone else read about this somewhere or asked their doctor?

Actually, the worry started because of red dye 3 which was used earlier, but food safety regulations are much stricter now. My family doctor said having processed stuff in moderation is fine, but fresh fruits are always the safer bet to avoid toxic additives.

Whenever I have such food safety doubts, I ask the clinical nutritionist during my annual checkup at Apollo. It's much better to get clear, scientifically backed advice from them than guessing.
