Description
In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Mike throws Jamie a pop-quiz-style twist to the format as they dive into what's been coined "greenwashing" or "health halos" as the buzzwords Big Food uses to convince you to buy their foods because these words have become known to signify or indicate healthier food options. The problem is, the front of the package doesn't always align with what you see on the back when you flip it over to read the nutrition facts and ingredients.   06:03 - GLUTEN FREE 08:39 - Email Jamie for a link to a sourdough recipe that is actually easy to understand - [email protected] 10:20 - GRASSFED 18:47 - NATURAL 21:36 - ORGANIC 28:55 - LOW FAT or FAT FREE 29:21 - PLANT BASED 31:26 - SUGAR FREE (Sugar alcohols, sugar substitutes, aspartame, Stevia)   The cost of food has climbed exponentially with rocketing inflation over the past few years.
