Israel's Ministry of Health has warned against the consumption of Fruit Roll-ups candy, which has become a global craze due to a trend born on TikTok. The ministry said in a statement that the candy contains glucose and corn syrup, and that: "Sugar consumption has been found to be associated with weight gain. A variety of related diseases are attributed to its consumption, such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, cancer, tooth decay and more." The statement adds that the candy contains palm oil "which raises bad cholesterol and the risk of cardiovascular diseases," and flavorings "that may affect eating patterns." (Adir Yanko)
