Gluten free

According to a 2013 survey, about a third of people in the US are actively trying to avoid gluten. However, many experts believe that this is unnecessary. The truth is that gluten, especially from wheat, can be problematic for many people. The problem with these foods is that they usually have the same negative effects on your body as their gluten-containing counterparts, if not worse. Try to choose foods that are naturally gluten-free, like plants and animals, and not gluten-free processed foods.

Fruit Juices

Many people believe that fruit juices are healthy. But most of the fruit juices you find in the supermarket aren’t actually fruit juices. Sometimes they don’t actually have fruit, just fruit-tasting chemicals. What you’re drinking is basically fruit-flavored sugar water. Even if you drink 100% quality fruit juice, it’s still not the best choice. Fruit juice is like fruit, except all the good stuff (like the fiber) is taken out. The main thing that is left of the actual fruit is the sugar.
