Healthy foods are yucky foods

Ugh.....So, I have good news and bad news for you. I will give you the bad news first, so we can end on a positive note.

I just came from my Nutrition Essentials course at the Chronic Pain Centre, and I was disgusted and disheartened to learn the truth about "healthy" food.

We all know that Trans Fat is bad for you, otherwise known as hydrogenated. This is my emoji for this: 😨

Saturated fat is considered ok fats: Emoji = 😐

Unsaturated fat is considered good for you, but not ALL

For instance, polyunsaturated fat or PUFA's contain Omega's 3's and Omega 6's.

OMEGA 6's are BAD for you!!

Omega 6 is mostly used in processed foods.

WHAT contains Omega 6's?

1. Soybean Oil
2. Vegetable Oil
3. Sunflower Oil

Here's the kicker!! The FIRST ingredient in Great Value ranch dressing, is Soybean Oil!!

So, Here's another kicker. A pumpkin cake from Community Natural Foods contains:

Dum, dum, dum,

420 Calories        
19 Grams of Fat (4 and a half teaspoons)         
26 Grams of Sugar (6 and a half teaspoons)

A Raisin Bran from Tim Horton's contains:

307 calories!
12 Grams of fat (3 teaspoons)
36 Grams of sugar (9 teaspoons)

AND it's cooked in SUNFLOWER OIL!! OMEGA 6!!

Guess what???

A Boston Cream from Tim Horton's contains:

220 calories!
6 Grams of fat (1 and a half teaspoons) AND
15 Grams of sugar (3 and a half teaspoons)

HUH!!!

Knowledge is power!! Don't let them fool you!!

READ THE INGREDIENTS!!
