18 Supermarket Lies Revealed


1. The Vitamin Vacuum

Kelloggs Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pop-Tarts

The Claim: "Good source of 7 vitamins and minerals"
The Truth: Five of the seven vitamins and minerals are derived from this product's first ingredient-enriched flour. That's the code word for "refined flour that's had nutrients added to it after it's been stripped of fiber."

What You Really Want: A breakfast without the nutritional profile of a dessert. Studies show that people who opt for high-quality protein (eggs, yogurt) over refined carbohydrates (pancakes, bagels, Pop-Tarts) lose weight faster and maintain higher levels of energy throughout the day.
