FRAUDS OR HEALTH FOODS?

Submitted by Anonymous

Even though something says

"healthy" on the label, is it

really? Supermarkets contain

thousands of foods with all

sorts of nutritional claims and

catch phrases to make you

yhink you are getting some-

thing you may not be. Here are

some items you may want to

watch out for:

Sports Drinks:

Studies show that most sports

drinks may not be of any help

if you are trying to lose weight.

Most are loaded with calories

and sugar! That means your body will have to burn off those calories before it can even start burning stored body fat.

Fruit Juices

Again, like sports drinks, most fruit juices are loaded with added sugars. If you must have juice, buy 100 percent juice with no added sugar. Better yet, eat whole fruit instead, and you’ll get lots of fiber and nutrients.

Yogurt

It is true that yogurt is a healthy food—but only if you choose the plain, low fat varieties.

Salads

Ah, yes, nothing says “healthy” than a nice big salad—just don’t ruin it with a high fat dressing! And leave off the added cheese.

Breakfast bars

Better to eat a regular bowl of high-fiber, low-sugar cereal with skim milk. Popular cereal bars contain too much sugar and fat.

Margarine

Better to stick with olive oil or a very small amount of real butter. Margarines can contain artificial chemicals.
