MOST COMMON BUZZWORDS

superfood: these foods don't do magic. they are rich in vit and minerals so it's important to include them in your meals as often as possible

all-natural: just cos it's natural, doesn't mean it's healthy.

organic: organic doesn't mean healthy. organic foods can still be high in sugar, fat, sodium etc.

energy-boosting: these foods mostly contain caffeine along with other chemicals and sugar.

probiotic: most of these foods (yogurts) have added sucralose (splenda) which actually kills the good bacteria

whole: foods caliming 'whole'on the label are usually made with just partially 'whole' ingredients. usually a whole-wheat bread turns out to have just 30-70% whole wheat flour. the rest is refined.

diet, sugar-free, low-fat, low-carb...: when there's sth missing in the food it must be replaced with sth else in order to preserve the taste and texture. read 'chemicals'.

x-grain food: most of these are made with white flour with added grains... nothing healthy about it.

100-calorie: foods filled with chemicals, dyes and preservatives.1 apple is less than 100 kcals and it doesn't need a label.

healthy: what can be healthy for you, it may not be healthy for me. and what is healthy for the food companies is almost never healthy for you.
