Fake Health Foods

Postby marie » Wed Feb 24, 2010 1:12 am

Be aware of fake health foods claiming to be low in fat, for example, such foods as certain cookies, salad dressings, or yogurt. To make up for flavor, these foods are high in sugar or salt.

Also, packaged breads and crackers with labels stating "contains whole grains." This often translates into considerably less fiber than 100% whole grain products.

Be sure to read the labels on the food products you buy.

Choose real foods as much as possible. Buy dried fruits such as apricots or mangos.

Yes, And Yogurt and oatmeal are healthy, but the syrup, sugar, and food colorings that are added to them to flavor them are not. There is an obscene amount of sugar in the flavored versions of these foods. And don’t bother with the sugar free ones, they are just packed with artificial sweeteners.
