5 Root Beers To Skip And 4 That Still Use Real Roots

Description: Five root beers to skip. Four that still use real roots. Nine brands from the same grocery aisle, ranked by what's actually in the bottle. In 1875, root beer was sixteen real ingredients pulled from the ground — sassafras root, sarsaparilla vine, wintergreen, wild cherry bark. In 1960, the FDA banned sassafras after a compound in the root caused liver cancer in lab rats. The root left. The name stayed. Most root beer on your shelf today is caramel-colored corn syrup with artificial flavoring. But a few brands still brew with real botanical ingredients. In this video, I break down nine root beer brands sold across American grocery stores. Every bottle gets the same treatment: ingredients, brewing process, corporate history, and a simple label-reading method that tells you whether your root beer contains anything that was ever actually in root beer. You'll learn what sassafras is and why the FDA banned it in 1960, how most brands replaced sixteen real ingredients with artificial flavoring and caramel color, what sarsaparilla, wintergreen, and birch bark actually taste like when they're in the bottle, why some root beers cost five times more than others and whether the price matches the ingredients, and which brands still brew with real botanicals instead of flavoring shortcuts. Every brand gets a fair breakdown. Some of these are perfectly fine sodas at a fair price. Some charge premium for the same artificial formula. And a few still brew root beer the way it was originally made — real roots, real bark, real herbs. Brands covered: Mug, Barq's, A&W, Dad's, Sprecher, Virgil's, Bundaberg, Not Your Father's, and one brand that answers every question the others can't. 🔔 Subscribe for more food intelligence — same depth, same honesty, every video. #rootbeer #rootbeerbrands #foodscience #ingredientlabels #thefoodtell
