When shopping for food there are quite a few confusing buzz words out there that can easily be misleading ... The biggest one being Organic! Just because a product says it\u2019s organic does not mean it isn\u2019t highly processed junk food<\/strong>. It is important to first ensure an item is not highly processed and then also try to find the organic version if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to do this, you want to always read the ingredient label (as opposed to relying on the health claims on the front of the package) first. That is the only way to know what\u2019s really in your food, and what you find may be surprising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making sure you know what the most common misleading health claims are and what they mean will help you sort through the highly processed junk food.<\/p>\n\n\n

Just because cookies are organic does not mean they aren\u2019t junk food! Even if a food product is labeled as certified organic it could still be made with sugar, white flour, and other refined ingredients.

Product Example: Late July Organic Vanilla Bean Cookies<\/strong>
These organic cookies contain refined white flour (labeled as organic wheat flour), refined sweeteners (labeled as organic evaporated cane juice, organic brown rice syrup, and organic evaporated cane juice syrup), and additives (including soy lecithin and natural flavors).
