Watch Out For These Healthy Food Pretenders!

I really liked this "Wellness Tip of the Week" emailed in January of 2009 so I'm sharing it here in case you didn't save it... Cindy

Watch Out For These Healthy Food Pretenders!

Pretzels
The label might say “fat free” but they’re made with refined white flour stripped of its vitamins and antioxidants, and they’re loaded with carbohydrates.

Spinach Wrap
It looks green and good for you but spinach is a scant ingredient. These wraps are typically made from refined white flour and the green hue primarily comes from food coloring. It’s higher in calories than cooked spinach and doesn’t have the high levels of vitamins A and C.

Vitamin Water
It has vitamins, but it has a lot of calories as well.
