"Healthy" Foods That Are Absolutely Lying to You - So Frickin' Mini

Got 10 Minutes? Granola Bars, Flavored Yogurt & the Biggest Health Food Scams

You know what's on the label. You don't always know what's in the jar. Danna and Megan go rapid-fire on the foods the wellness world has convinced us are virtuous choices — and the reality hiding behind the packaging. Spoiler: if it has to tell you it's healthy, it probably isn't.

What You'll Learn:

1. Why granola bars and protein bars are basically candy bars with a PR team
2. Trail mix — aka Swiss Studentenfutter — and the dried fruit portion trap nobody warns you about
3. What neon-orange dried apricots are telling you (hint: it's not good, and your apricot should be poop brown)
4. Flavored yogurt and the sugar content that will make you want to cry — Megan's husband had to be diplomatically redirected
5. Why gluten-free packaged food is often just junk with extra steps (see also: vegan processed food)
6. Canola and vegetable oils — Switzerland's beloved "healthy" fat that isn't what it seems
7. The golden rule: real food doesn't need a label telling you it's healthy. Broccoli is just broccoli.

That's your 10 minutes. Go check your pantry. We'll wait.
