Healthy Foods Aren’t Always Healthy

Healthy foods from those fat free muffins to many products labeled health foods aren’t always as healthy as the makers would want you to believe.  In fact man of them are just plain unhealthy. This is not only true for those that have had bariatric weight loss surgery, it is true for everyone.

Many of us that want to become or stay fit are committed to our daily exercise routines. Some of us are so committed that if we miss  one of their daily workouts we feel really bad about our self. In order for us to reap the harvest from our vigorous workout, not only do we strive to stick to our exercise programs to the letter, but many of us also use  supplements to keep  going at all times.

Energy bars, sport drinks, low-fat foods, protein powder and the like are some of the most popular choices employed as their “pick-me-up” super duper power foods. But more often than not, these supposedly “health foods” can do much damage to the body beyond anyone’s comprehension.

While there are healthy supplements from companies such as Bariatric Advantage there are also plenty of  packaged foods out there labeled as “healthy” and “natural” that are often found to contain anything but health food.

For example, these “exercise nuts” buy energy bars for extra energy while filling their nutritional needs on the fly, but the sad truth is that these bars contain hydrogenated vegetable oils and trans fats that rob their body of vital nutrients, create fatigue, and promote heart disease.

They will often depend on sport drinks that promise to provide them with nutrients to give them the much needed “competitive edge.”

But these sport drinks have been proven to contain high fructose corn syrup, which induces a hormonal reaction that blocks important minerals, compromising rather than improving their performance and sport competitiveness.

So many people are particularly drawn to buying “low-fat” foods that claim to be able to help them lose weight. But little do they know that these so-called “low-fat” foods contain artificial sweeteners that create cravings, lead to further weight gain and produce formaldehyde which is so toxic to their liver and brain that these artificial sweeteners are believed to be even more toxic and harmful to the human body than rat poisons.

So in other words, these high energy bars will make people tired, sport drinks will make them weak, and low-fat foods will make them fat – fatter and fatter indeed.

One may think that if these are so bad how come they’re allowed to be made available to the average consumers.

The reason often is because those food manufacturers, in order to succeed in securing their profits by misleading the public with mis-information, have been paying big bucks to fund many “scientific” researches the findings of which, of course, will be tailored-made to the favor of their advertising campaigns, which will further help to impose such a “positive” image and message on these advertised “health foods” that the public will have no way to find out about the right and the wrong.

Therefore, the consumers must owe it to themselves to read the labels of the kind of foods – health foods in particular – they’re going to buy such that they’re better equipped with the correct understanding of what they’re “biting” into; thus reducing much chance of being ripped off by this false and misleading advertisement that has gone rampant.
