Articles like this one — 4 ingredients that sound healthier than they really are (and 4 that sound scary but aren’t) — are precisely why I love the Eating Well blogs. Michelle Edelbaum shares that the following four ingredients are not really healthy, and why:
1. Fruit juice concentrates
2. Soybean Oil
3. Palm Oil
4. Wheat flour (as opposed to WHOLE wheat flour)
And then lists and explains the following four ingredients, which may sound like unhealthy chemicals, but aren’t:
1. Inulin
2. Ascorbic Acid
3. Xanthan gum
4. Maltodextrin
