I used to fall for it, too. I think especially in this day and age, with so much focus on youth and health and using food as medicine, these labels are really attractive to many people.

I usually add two small scoops to my morning oatmeal in addition to a 1/2 banana, ground flax seeds, and a mixture of other seeds. <br /><br />I read the ingredients and they sound like crap, but I worry that my diet does not have enough protein besides small amounts I get from dairy or chicken. Are there any brands you recommend that don't contain lots of garbage? Or is it better to just get protein from real foods (I know that is the answer, yet I don't feel I get enough from my diet of real food). <br /><br />Interested in your thoughts.Sneaker Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629970985456274562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-65159847601826633592010-02-21T07:14:45.351-05:002010-02-21T07:14:45.351-05:00another great piece of information for our healthy...another great piece of information for our healthy nuts consumers! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-21220973730581757152010-02-21T07:14:37.943-05:002010-02-21T07:14:37.943-05:00another great piece of information for our healthy...another great piece of information for our healthy nuts consumers! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-44302455269409237192010-02-21T07:14:34.103-05:002010-02-21T07:14:34.103-05:00another great piece of information for our healthy...another great piece of information for our healthy nuts consumers! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-60324494971593495042010-02-21T00:09:40.589-05:002010-02-21T00:09:40.589-05:00also, the Council for Responsible Nutrition is ano...also, the Council for Responsible Nutrition is another supplement safety resource.

Did you know FDA doesn't actually have authority to make a food company recall their product, even if they have proven the product misguided or unsafe? They can only press criminal charges or ask for a voluntary recall.<br />BUT- the new Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 (proposed by Sen McCain) will change things and give the FDA this recall authority. cool!<br />http://mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressOffice.Speeches&ContentRecord_id=952dda07-b71c-4034-4f34-c38974978f7dRachelhttp://coconutcrumbs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-42325670270845902312010-02-20T23:39:38.380-05:002010-02-20T23:39:38.380-05:00Gina this is a great post.
