Top 10 “Healthy” foods that aren’t:
Be wary of hot-button words on food labels. “Reduced-fat” products usually have less fat and “all-natural” foods often do come from ingredients actually found in nature. But not all health-related words on food packaging are defined by the Food and Drug Administration, leaving certain gray areas for manufacturers to exploit. So while those phrases, and others like them, would seem to indicate that the products inside the packages are somehow “healthy,” the reality is often something very different. As likely as not, “reduced fat” means “increased sugar.” As for products that are “all natural”? Well, so are hurricanes and tidal waves.The kicker: The most deceptive word of all might be “healthy.” Because there is no way to really define it, the FDA has no way to regulate it. What’s more, just about anything out there can be healthy—or unhealthy—in the right amounts.
