10 Foods you THOUGHT were good for you, BUT ARE NOT!

Cereal-

Cereal is one of the most processed food on the planet. Mostly loaded with refined carbs, no fiber or protein, and will elevate insulin levels. Cereal also has high levels of cancer-causing acrylamid. If you must eat cereals, stick to the less refined, old fashioned oats, cereals with natural ingredients, and a total carb-to-fiber ratio ot 3 to 1 or less.

Artificial sweeteners-

Cancer linking in animals as well as humans, add increased hunger to the list, which goes against the whole idea of dieting.

Sport/Electrolyte Drinks-

Besides the artificial sweeteners, high frucose corn syrup has been linked to diabetes, and bromide displaces the valuable nutrient iodine from our diet, compromising thyroid function.

Coffee-

No such thing as a benign stimulant. Coffee is a very inflammatory food, and depletes the body of minerals, and raises blood pressure and cholesterol in susceptible individuals.

Granola-

Besides being loaded with sugar and fat, everything that applies to cereal applies here. Today's granola is cleverly disquised as healthy when it is not. Diet granola is frequently loaded with alternative sweeteners, and the dreaded trans fat. If you must eat granola, stick to the truly natural brands and read the labels.

Low Fat-

If you cut out all the fat, you will eat more. Fat makes us feel satisfied at a meal. Stuffing yourselves with fat-free cookies and cakes makes you fat. Some fats are needed to burn fat.

Soy-

Soy has levels of manganese tht can be toxic to an infant, acts as a thyroid disruptor in those with low thyroid function, is loaded with phytates which block the absorption of many healthy nutrients, and chronic consumption is questionable in estrogen related disorders.

Diet Soda-

Diet soda has ingedients which are appropriately abbreviated AGE, which do just that AGE YOU.Aspartame converts into fermaldehyde,potassium benzoate can be broken down into benzene. Drainclog openers on ICE!

Organic Sweets-

Just because something is organic does NOT mean it is a health food. An organic cookie loaded with sugar may have less pesticides and IS a better option, but does not qualify as a health food.

Bagels-

Bagels, are while bread and starch. All refined bread products cause an excessive rise in blood sugar when consumed, producing fat storage, and inflammation producing hormone insulin. Instead focus on fruit and vegetables instead.

SOUP UP YOUR SOUPS!!

The next time that you make chili or soup, pump up the nutrient value by adding some veggies to it. Fresh or frozen veggies will not only add flavor but increase the vitamin and mineral content of your meal. I personally like to make chili with carrots, corn and peas (frozen is easy as it is cut up and ready to toss into the chili. Using turkey or stirfry meats instead of ground beef will lower the fat content of the meal. Making soup using solid vegetable bases like pumpkin, squash, or sweet potatoes will also add much to the quality of your soup. Some added cheese will add a protein content, and some high fiber crackers for a side will make for a well -rounded nutritional meal. Enjoy!!!
