Undressing the food we eat.
  • There’s nothing sweet about artificial sweeteners!

    Categories: Products Undressed, Substitutions Comments: 6

    091229_theree28099s-nothing-sweet-about-artificial-sweeteners_mainThe artificial sweetener industry would like us to believe that we can have our cake and eat it too. They want us to feel like we are doing our body good when we choose a diet soda, or low calorie cookie. They have made their millions by convincing consumers that their products are superior because they don’t raise blood sugar and they don’t have calories. However, what are the trade-offs? What harm are we causing to our bodies in order to have these benefits and is it worth it? Read more »

    I’m not going to beat around the bush on this one. If your goal is to eat a healthy breakfast, stay away from Nutella! I think deep down most of us know that spreading chocolate on our toast can’t be healthy.

This may be a homemade chocolate chip cookie, a piece of pie, a few potato chips, soda, or maybe a handful of french fries. I don’t have a problem with the occasional (key word being occasional) treat of something that really brings a smile to my face. The trick however, is in understanding what goes in the treat pile and what belongs in the “good for me” pile.  Read more »

  • It’s Time for a Strip Search - Yogurt, spread em!

    090422_its-time-for-a-strip-search-yogurt-spread-em_mainRecently, it seems that the yogurt industry has taken off. More than ever before I am seeing advertisements preaching the health benefits of various yogurt products. Messages about probiotics, prebiotics, DHA, and the ability to lose weight by eating yogurt. It all sounds so wonderful, but is all yogurt good for you? Are some better than others? When yogurt is left standing naked for all to see, the answers to these questions become more clear.
