4 ingredients that sound healthier than they really are (and 4 that sound scary but aren’t)

A very interesting blog, Thanks for posting it.
When i was raising my kids, I told them that if they could read the ingredients in a food product, then i would buy it. Later, when they got older and could propnounce Butylated, I told them that they had to know what the ingredient was, That allowed me to feed them a basicaly healthy diet of real food.
As a nutrition consultant, I would tell my clients that if the ingredients list looked like a menu, to eat it, if it looked a chemistry set, to avoid it.
Keep it real.

You state that Xanthan gum and Maltodextrin are not that scary and are just startches added to low-fat foods for body and binding. Yes, that's true. However, those starches are carbohydrates. They add calories and can effect your tri-glycerides, like the other carbohydrates you mention earlier in the piece. The trade-off of a possibly healthy fat for an additional carbohydrate is not always a health choice. I know too many people who think the low-fat dressing, loaded with these carbohydrates to replace the fat, are healthy for them. They are not. A dressing that uses a healthy fat like olive oil or walnut oil would be better for you and your heart than the low-fat dressings filled with these carbohydrates to fool your mouth into not missing the fat.

Hemp:I have some granola bars that say there's hemp in them. I'm looking for a job. Will that make me fail a drug test?
