Food Frauds That Can Wreck Your Diet
Today's site from Medicine.net, a reasonably reliable source of health
information and part of the WebMD Network, offers a visual guide to a number of
foods which can play havoc with any dieter's good intentions to stay on a
healthy eating regime. Gentle Subscribers will find this slideshow tucked into
an extensive report on artificial sweeteners which is also worth a perusal.
"MedicineNet is an online, healthcare media publishing company. We provide
easy-to-read, in-depth, authoritative medical information for consumers via its
robust, user-friendly, interactive website. ... Quick Guide Diet-Wrecking
Foods: Smoothies, Lattes, Popcorn, and More in Pictures" - from the website
Over the course of 21 vivid photographs, the presentation zeros in on seemingly
innocuous foods which appear to be just what the health-conscious consumer
needs. These apparently beneficial items frequently have a less well known
unsavory side. From tempting salad bar foods to a handful of inviting banana
chips, many of these can sandbag a dieter's healthy regime. Each item in the
slideshow is accompanied by a brief but forthright explanation of its downside
and then goes on to helpfully suggest a healthy alternative.
