Is grape jelly unhealthy?!

Is grape jelly unhealthy?

I accidentally put a little more jelly on my pb and j than I meant to but I was in a rush so I couldn't remove it. I've already eaten it, and now I feel kind of bad. I don't think I should because I'm still fifteen, but....

That would depend on what else is in the jelly. Most commerical jellies (and the store brands) are made with fruit (in this case, grape), corn syrup, and/or high fructose corn syrup and pectin, to "gel" it. I don't buy these jellies as I neither need nor want the corn syrup and high fructose corn syurp. I buy the fruit spreads that are fruit and the pectin. (I get it at Trader Joe's, chain of health food stores, as they have 18 oz. jars for $3, which is about twice as much for just a dollar more than what I would get at Kroger [the Kroger brand] for just under $2.) Also, some of the brands that are labeled sugar free have chemical-looking ingredients in them that just look scary. I don't mind so much that they're sweetned with Splenda, though I find most fruits to be plenty sweet, but it's the stuff that looked as though it came from a science lab.

It's the same with peanut butter. I buy the natural stuff that just has peanuts in it. I like the sugar free kind, with the oil on top, but my husband doesn't like that kind so we buy the Skippy Natural with sugar in it. It's better, I think than the corn syrups at least.

I also have these sandwhiches on corn syurp and high fructose corn syrup free whole wheat bread (it's sweented with natural cane sugar and raisin juice).

A little bit extra on occasion is okay, just don't go overboard on a regular basis.
