Reese’s peanut butter cup is something everyone has tried in their life. They are delicious, look interesting and are easily available. Just thinking about it might make you go hungry and go buy some.

However, some further research has shown that Reese’s ingredients are questionable and can be, in fact, dangerous for your health.

Mr. Reese invented these butter cups in 1928. This man was an ordinary farmer and shipping foreman for Mr. Hershey. When he found the sweets, he stopped working as a farmer and started a candy company right in his basement.

<-- --="" adsense=""> You can find Reese’s peanut butter cups in various sizes and shapes. However, as we stated, some of the ingredients are really concerning.

Although there are more ingredients, for instance: Cocoa butter, chocolate, milk chocolate, milk fat, lactose, peanuts, sugar dextrose, TBGQ, soy lecithin and more, we list the most questionable ones and write about them in this article.


1. Soy Lecithin

Scientists have found out that around 93% of all soy is genetically modified, meaning it is harmful. It can have very negative consequences on reproduction and fertility. Also, it’s connected to breast cancer and might cause various cerebral and behavioral abnormalities.

2. PGPR

PGPR (Polyglycerol polyricinoleate) is made from castor beans and it’s cheaper than cocoa butter, so some manufacturers use it to make extra profits. It may cause allergic reactions and gastrointestinal issues.

3. TBHQ

TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone) comes from petroleum, so it’s pretty toxic. It may cause vomiting, nausea, ear ringing, delirium, and more negative side effects. Also it’s harmful for our lungs and umbilical cells. Stomach cancer is also linked to it.
