They turn into a sort of yellow-ish, which isn’t really the most appetizing colour for a cherry. To make it look like the typical cherry you see on top of ice cream, they then soak the bleached cherries in Red Dye #4 and high fructose corn syrup for a few weeks to a month. Their Nutritional Value Decreases: Maraschino cherries can have up to 3 times the amount of sugar than regular cherries. They also contain much less protein than regular cherries. The Potential Dangers of Artificial Colours: Previously Red 3 was the dye used to make these cherries, but it has been flagges as a potentially dangerous product to our health and now Red 40 is used, which seems to be okay in small amounts. There Are Reasons To Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup: It has been linked to diseases like diabetes, obestity and even heart disease. They Lose Their Antioxidants: Once these cherries go through the processing phase, they lose most of their antioxidants and therefore many of their health benefits. They Can Increase Your Risk Of Bladder Cancer: According to PUBMED this dye contains small amounts of a carcinogen called benzidine. Studies have shown being exposed to benzidine can increase your risk of bladder cancer. Too Much Sugar: These contain twice the amount of sugar as regular cherries.
