You may love your Valentine, but beware of the treats below (treats full of high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors)…

Here are 5 popular sweets & treats to AVOID giving your Valentine:

• M&M’s – Sorry the age-old classic candies that melt in your mouth are chock-full of artificial coloring!
• Cheesecake Factory’s Fudgy Wudgy Italian Cream Torte – Thinking of a romantic dinner full of tempting cheesecake – think again (this torte is full of High Fructose Corn Syrup!)
• Necco Conversation Hearts (Sweethearts) – No better way to say, “I love you,” than with artificial coloring!
• Hershey’s Chocolate Bar – A moment on the lips = high fructose corn on the hips!
• Whitman’s Chocolates – With artificial coloring, you’d have to be a dim-”whit” to get this for your Valentine!
