I'll Take My Tequila Straight, Hold the Carcinogens
Skinny Girl drink was pulled off the shelves by Whole Foods this week. The increasingly popular "all natural margarita", created by Bethenny Frankel, (used-to-be real housewives of New York cast member), was found to have questionable ingredients.
While some people are whining that the culprit is just "caramel-coloring", Fox News claims the drink contains the preservative sodium benzoate, which apparently can become carcinogenic if you ingest it with Vitamin C. Good thing none of us take that vitamin.
I can't say I'm not a little bummed, having tried the drink before, I was definitely into a margarita that was less that your daily calorie intake. Oh well, guess it's back to good 'ol Jose.
