(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, December 06, 2014 ) Provo, Utah -- Eat Real Stay Sane, a health food blog specializing in eating a real food diet, recently published a post called "32 Unhealthy Foods You Think Are Good For You." This list post focuses on conventional foods that the government, schools, and even food companies teach people are healthy, but are slowly being revealed as health frauds.
Included in the post are common foods such as yogurt, protein powder, breakfast cereal, and even baby formula. A common theme that the author frequently returns to is that food companies find a way to jump on a current health trend, and find a way to package and market that food. As the article points out, companies take these health foods and process them, adding sugars and chemical additives.
"I think it's time that we dispel the myth surrounding these supposed health foods. Too often we rely on outdated advice or from biased sources, such as the food companies themselves," states Eat Real Stay Sane blog co-owner Cameron Smith. "Our health as a nation is deteriorating despite an emphasis on these types of foods. The eating habits we think are saving us are actually making us sicker."
"One of the biggest misconceptions and problems with eating is that we allow our children to eat breakfast cereal every day," describes Cameron. "According to research, cereal is so heavily processed that most nutrients are stripped, turning the grains into the nutritional equivalent of table sugar. Despite advertising claims by manufactures they create unhealthy food compared to their natural whole food alternative."
The post points out another example is honey. People often see it promoted as better than sugar, but that's only true of the unprocessed, raw versions. Other examples Mr. Smith finds extremely interesting are margarine, diet soda, and corn chips. "We think they are as healthy as their main natural alternative, but that just isn't the case."
After reading the article it is obvious parents need to be careful about the food staples they are giving their children. While it's easy to hand them a fruit cup or an individual yogurt serving, studies are showing that these options are only contributing to an unhealthy nation.
With these tips, healthy food blog Eat Real Stay Sane aims to teach parents and children how to make smart decisions about grocery shopping and even what foods to make from home. This blog post can be a guide to eating healthy and choosing smarter eating options.
