However, do you think this salt is unprocessed? I think it probably is. Salt- salt in and of itself in it’s natural unprocessed form is not necessarily bad in the correct amounts.Brown Sugar Syrup- did you catch that this is the second time that sugar is listed?.Corn Bran- Again, very processed in a factory and has low nutritional value.It has about 30 calories per tablespoon and 7 grams of Carbohydrate (that is a lot for 1 tablespoon) Corn Starch- Processed in factories made from corn and have no nutritional value other than adding calories.Not a great option for your body especially if you are eating this for breakfast. Sugar- this is the 3rd most prevalent ingredient listed in this cereal.Especially these that are extremely processed in a factory. Grains are a topic of discussion that we will cover in another post, but it could be beneficial to your health to avoid grains altogether (depending on your situation). Whole Grain Oats,Whole Grain Corn,Whole Grain Rice, Whole Grain Sorghum, Whole Grain Millet- I don’t know about you, but I don’t see anything that looks whole other than a whole cheerio when I look in my cereal bowl.Lets just take a look ingredient by ingredient. So the first ingredient listed is the ingredient that is most prevalent in this food and the last ingredient listed is the least amount in the food.Īlrighty. Now let’s take a look at the back.įirst off you need to know that the ingredients are listed by most to least. Let me use Cheerios as my example.įirst I want to point out… see that little heart on the front that claims it “May reduce the risk of heart disease”? You may think to yourself “Oh this is multi-grain made with 5 whole grains! This is so healthy!” Okay. I want to show you an example of what I am talking about. We DEFINITELY can’t trust what they tell us on the front of the package. We can’t just think about calories and grams of sugar when we want to eat something healthy. You will think to yourself, “Great! This is Healthy!” Then you will have some people that turn the package over and read the nutrition label on the back to see how many calories/grams of sugar it has to see if it is healthy… HOWEVER, people totally forget or don’t even know to look at the ingredient list under the nutrition label on the back. A lot of people read the front of a package of food and think it is healthy because it will say something like “May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease”. Today I want to talk about the ingredients in your foods.
