"functional foods"

This is an article about all the "healthy" additives in foods. The conclusion of the article states:

"The biggest problem we have in the United States is overnutrition — too much calories," Lichtenstein said.

Brian Wansink, a food marketing expert at Cornell University and msnbc.com contributor, sees another risk. Health benefits come from eating the entire food, not just a single nutrient inside it, he said.

"People are sort of losing the point of why they're eating certain foods," Wansink said. With functional foods, "we end up eating it like it is medicine, so we end up eating too much of it."


I have felt so much better over the last few months as I have eliminated virtually all processed foods from my diet and increased the amount of fruit & veg I eat. Just eat clean!!

According to Jillian Michael's Master Your Metabolism, she calls them *Frankenfoods*. They aren't *food*, they're chemicals!

I love Jillian - she gives great advice. I too have eliminated processed 'Frankenfoods' from my diet. Never felt better!
