Think these foods are the healthiest choice? Guess again

Posted on Dec 18th 2006 7:57PM by Martha Edwards
Egg-white omelettes, grilled salmon, granola bars, apple juice -- these things are all good for you, right? Wrong, in some cases at least. By leaving the yolk out of the omelet, you are cutting out important nutrients. The salmon you bought at the grocery store and grilled? It's pumped full of chemicals, from antibiotics to dye. Granola bars are mostly sugar. Same with apple juice, cereal and frozen yogurt. So what can you do?

For one thing, check the labels to make sure there's not too much sugar in what you're getting. Secondly, when buying fish, look for wild fish, not farmed. And don't get hung up on always cutting fat. Sometimes a little fat -- like the fat in an egg yolk -- can be good for you in moderation.
