Foods that you think are healthy but aren’t
    2015-02-27  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    THERE are a lot of foods out there that people eat because they think they are a healthy choice. Here are a few that are not as healthy as you might think!

    Soy milk

    Soy milk is a highly processed product. The soybeans are heated at high temperatures and acid washed in aluminum tanks, so the aluminum may be transferred into the soy milk. Most soy today is genetically modified, and is grown with high levels of pesticide contamination. Processed soy in general has been shown to disrupt endocrine and thyroid function and may negatively affect hormones as well. If you do choose soy, choose a fermented option like tempeh or miso.

    Granola

    Although it may look and sound healthy, most granola on the market is loaded with corn syrup or sugar. Your best bet? Make your own granola at home with gluten free oats and sweeten it with raw honey or pure maple syrup.

    Fruit juice

    With the juicing craze in full swing, people everywhere are guzzling bottles of fruity juices — which is like liquid sugar to the body. If you’re going to drink juice, go for the green ones with minimal fruit. Your best bet is to make it at home or get it from a fresh juice bar!

    Frozen yogurt

    Frozen yogurt is another one of those foods that pretends to be healthy when it’s usually a big heap of sugar, dairy, artificial sweeteners and chemicals. Next time you’re at your local fro-yo place, ask to see the ingredients list. You’ll probably be shocked! Learn more about the sneaky ingredients in frozen yogurt. However, homemade yogurt is a great choice, which you may sweeten with honey or mix with fruit chops.

    Whole wheat

    Even for people without celiac or a diagnosed “gluten sensitivity,” wheat can be a big trigger for digestive distress, skin issues, immune system suppression and inflammation in the body. Some doctors believe there is no greater drain on one’s energy and trigger for inflammation than gluten. (SD-Agencies)
