Better For You doesn’t always mean Good For You
With the commencement of the January Paleo Challenge, I’m already seeing some interesting posts about ‘Paleo’ foods. The people who have been doing it a while are suggesting ideas and all the newbies are looking for help. It’s a fantastic process but we may be getting into some grey area. There’s a lot of websites out there with Paleo Recipies that leave me wondering, are we any better off?
Not many people would argue against the idea that diet soda is better for you than regular soda. Or 25% less salt chips are better for you than regular salted chips. Or how about whole grain cheerios are better for you than regular cheerios? Does any of this mean that the said food is actually Good For You? Where this hits in Paleo land is in things like Almond Flour, Agave Nectar or Gluten Free Bread!! Are these things actually taking us on a path to superior health?
I know I have my opinion on this issues, but what’s yours? Please post thoughts to comments.
