Faux Health Foods UNBLEACHED FLOUR. THAT CERTAINLY SOUNDS HEALTHY...
The chemicals used to whiten flour are harmless and bleaching actually
improves flour's baking quality -- unbleached flour isn't any better
for you than bleached -- if you want a real nutritional boost, use
whole-wheat flour.  NATURAL FOODS. WHAT DOES "NATURAL" ACTUALLY MEAN?
Consumers see "natural" and think "more wholesome" but for food
products that aren't meat or poultry, there is no standardized
definition of "natural" -- it's what the manufacturer says it is --  so
read the label to get the real story.  FRUIT-JUICE SWEETENED
SNACKS...BETTER THAN THE ONES SWEETENED WITH  "REGULAR" SUGAR?  The
juices added to these foods (apple, pear, and grape) are  nutritional
"lightweights" and these juices, along with honey, cane,  maple syrup
and fructose are no more healthy than table sugar.  They're all the
same in your body.  FREE-RANGE POULTRY -- DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY'RE
PESTICIDE-FREE?  Not necessarily -- the USDA's only requirement for the
free-range  label is that the poultry has "continuous access to the
outdoors." It  doesn't mean it's leaner, tastier, less disease-free. It
also doesn't  mean it's pesticide-free or raised with antibiotics. If
you want  that, make sure you look for labels that say that -- also,
free-range  birds are almost always much more expensive.  CHIPS MADE
FROM CARROTS OR BANANAS CERTAINLY SOUND HEALTHIER...  If they're fried,
they're all the same -- if you want to save fat and  calories, switch
to baked chips.  HOW ABOUT THESE FRUITY DRINKS?  They're often little
more than water, sugar, and fruit flavoring --  even pure juice blends
are not very nutritious -- if you want a truly  healthy drink, have
some skim milk, it's a perfect non-fat package of  calcium, vitamins,
minerals, and protein.  SPINACH PASTA OR PASTA MADE FROM OTHER
VEGETABLES?  Eating vegetable pasta is NOT like eating pasta with
vegetables --  they're not much different than regular pasta except for
the color  and price -- you'd only have to add a teaspoon of cooked
spinach to a  serving of regular pasta to get the same amount of beta
carotene in a  serving of spinach pasta.  THESE ENERGY BARS, THEY MUST
BE BETTER FOR YOU THAN A SNICKERS...  They may be better than a
Snickers but there's nothing special about  them that makes you feel
more energeticup Energy on a food label  simply means "calories." Eat
them if you like them, but if you're  looking for energy, have a piece
of fruit, a bagel, some low-fat  granola, or a breakfast bar. If you're
looking for extra vitamins and  minerals, take a multi-vitamin or
mineral pill.  © 1997 Delia Hammock  © 1997 Lifetime Entertainment
