I love sunchips but haven't really thought if there was a negative side. When I go to subway I refrain from getting chips usually, but if I do, I like the sunchips. So my question is, are they better or worse than normal chips?

Seems pretty average compared to other chips i think0 -
Check the nutrition facts on them. While they are 'all natural,' they are not as healthy as you'd think. They have a high fat content for just a few chips. The Mediterranean Snack Company makes really nice lentil-baked chips in a variety of flavors that give you a lot of chips for a few calories and only a few grams of fat.0

No. The loudness of their bags has contributed to hearing loss.0

No. They contain GMO's. You might want to google genetically modified organisms if you don't know what I'm talking about.0
-
maybe if you eat "a" serving...they are OK....the whole bag, probably not so much0
-
No. But they're delicious.0
-
no they're not healthier. they're just better at marketing themselves as healthy. they are damn good though.0
-
They are still chips..
Like everything, if you can fit them in, go ahead.0 -

I have a co-worker that insists on taking hers out of the bag one by one (she also chews with her mouth open, but that's another story).
I agree. SUPER loud :-)0 -
Sunchips are not healthy. However, they are a (somewhat) healthier alternative than a bag of Ruffles. Likewise, Clif Bars aren't particularly healthy either, but a better choice than a Snickers bar.
It is all relative. If you want a truly healthy side dish or snack, grab an apple with peanut butter or carrots and hummus. At the end of the day, Sunchips are just salty fried corn chips, so it has the whole grain label.0 -
I once compared Sunchips to Doritos, and there wasn't a lot of difference. So I'd say no, they aren't particularly healthy. I do like the taste, though. I'm pretending that "they" stopped making chips, period, which is kind of hard since my husband buys them every week.0

Your overall health isn't going to be any different if you choose Sun Chips over Doritos. They're both junk food. Damn Sun Chips taste great though0

In my book, chips are chips. But , if you really want to know, the next time you're at Subway, or the grocery store, grab a bag and compare the nutrition label with potato chips.0

It depends on what criteria you are using.
A friend & I were grabbing a snack. I picked up BAKED LAYS, she picked up the same size SUN CHIPS.
The calories listed on her bag were fewer, but her bag also had 2 servings mine only had one.
Now that I'm more educated I check out other things like artificial ingredients. Satuated fat and Sugar (amazing how much sugar can be in a salty snack.)0 -
A wiggly square is a healthier shape than a triangle 99% of the time.0

This is true, too. It's more surface area, making it easier for digestive juices to go by, while also marking it harder for toxins to adhere to the chip.0 -

The healthiest of all is a mobius chip. Comes right on out the other side0
