Sorry it's been so long! Crazy semester...anyway, posts are coming back!
My mom sent me this email about several"frankenfoods" to avoid, from care2.com.
This is interesting because I have been reading more and more about these foods the last few months they shouldn't be part of your diet...some might be harder to cut out or reduce.
And these are GMO foods now, or genetically modified. Try to Google that one.
These foods include: (Not in any particular order)
1. Wheat: Wheat now is heavily processed. It's not quite what our ancestors ate, so to speak.
Wheat, as we know, is found in so many foods (baked goods, pastries, thickeners for gravy, chicken pot pie) you name it, and it's probably in it.
2. Gluten: Often found in pasta and breads. Now days, if you read labels in places like Whole Foods, you'll find that more and more products say "gluten-free," whether it's bread or salad dressing. They even have cake mixes, and cookies that are gluten free. Keep in mind, a gluten free diet is prescribed to those with celiac disease. Gluten is not good for the body.
3. Canola oil: Interestingly enough, majority of things have canola oil as a recipe. But, it's so close to industrial oil now. It's genetically modified. Opt for something else, like extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil. Both good!
There's several more, but these are just a few that have gone under the radar!
Thanks! Happy holidays:)
