Welcome to the Food Studies section of Whole Food Sourcing.
How do well-loved food products measure up in terms of health and nutrition?
I wanted to find out because, honestly, I'm asked about this all the time.
You see, as I continue to study whole foods, I want to share what I learn. As I do, I'm asked to reassure friends and family that their particular food choices are as healthy as they believe them to be. And to be honest, I can't always give them the reassurance they want.
There are a lot of foods which aren't very nutritious at all. And many of the things people eat are downright harmful. Of course, there are many more food products which are both. That is, many so-called "foods" are:
- lacking in nutrition, and...
- contain ingredients which are harmful.
So I've decided to write a series of blog posts, called Food Study Fridays, all about some of these questionable foods. Foods that fall into the two categories listed in bullets above and that are well-loved and thought to be good choices by many (including people I personally know). And I'll also be archiving these particular posts as articles right here in the Food Study section of my website.
