Don’t Get Fooled by Your “Food”

The American public is constantly being tricked, especially when it comes to food.  I saw this at the grocery store the other day and it got me thinking.

“Good source of Vitamin D.” Haha…nice try.  You can add all the vitamin D you want to this, but it’s missing one thing: fat.  Look now at the ingredients

Total fat: 0g

No saturated fat, no trans fat, no mono-/polyunsaturated fat.  Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning in order to be absorbed into your body and be an effective nutrient you need fat around.  And what are you probably eating with this cereal? Skim milk!  No fat there!

This is the problem.  Stay away from products that “add, “enrich” or “reduce” certain ingredients!  These are processed foods that wreck havoc on your health.  Don’t eat processed crap.

This is a better source of Vitamin D:
