Summary:
They're Not Made The Old Fashioned Way:
Today, maraschino cherries are typically bleached in a mixture that contains sulfur dioxide and calcium chloride which makes them lose their original colour. They turn into a sort of yellow-ish, which isn’t really the most appetizing colour for a cherry. To make it look like the typical cherry you see on top of ice cream, they then soak the bleached cherries in Red Dye #4 and high fructose corn syrup for a few weeks to a month.

Their Nutritional Value Decreases:
Maraschino cherries can have up to 3 times the amount of sugar than regular cherries. They also contain much less protein than regular cherries.

The Potential Dangers of Artificial Colours:
Previously Red 3 was the dye used to make these cherries, but
it has been flagges as a potentially dangerous product to our health and now Red 40 is used, which seems to be okay in small amounts.

There Are Reasons To Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup:
It has been linked to diseases like diabetes, obestity and even heart disease.

They Lose Their Antioxidants:
Once these cherries go through the processing phase, they lose most of their antioxidants and therefore many of their health benefits.

They Can Increase Your Risk Of Bladder Cancer:
According to PUBMED this dye contains small amounts of a carcinogen called benzidine. Studies have shown being exposed to benzidine can increase your risk of bladder cancer.

Too Much Sugar:
These contain twice the amount of sugar as regular cherries.

Here's a list of the most popular places these are found:
