It’s important to watch out for these “imposters” that can be loaded with extra sugar, calories, or other nasty surprises. The reality is that many of the “healthy” foods we eat are actually unhealthy, even some of the so-called “superfoods.” These foods gain a foothold because of clever marketing campaigns, but if you look at the ingredients on the label, it’s easy […]
