Superfoods

The other day we got a flyer in the mail for the "Ten Super Foods For Better Health." and what was number 6, crisp breads. Crisp breads are not a super food they are processed food. The article claims that they are great because they are fat free. When a food is fat free it just simply raises the insulin load of the food. Crisp breads also contain phytic acid which is going to leach to valuable nutrients in your body such as calcium and zinc. There are plenty of other foods that are superfoods that would make my list over crispbreads. Remember you diet should include vegetables, meats, nuts, a little fruit, and a little starch.
