12 Most Overrated Healthy Foods According To Experts

Yogurt: The dairy aisle is overfilled with yogurt products marketed as healthy foods, but most of them are full of added sugar and/or artificial sweeteners. So reading labels in this category is vital. Plain Greek yogurt is an excellent alternative. We recommend you steer clear of the flavored yogurt varieties and don’t even think about the kinds that come with candy toppings.

…And since we’re on the dairy aisle:

Milk Alternatives: This includes nut milk, soy milk, and oat milk. They’re typically only approximately 1 or 2 percent of the “nut/soy/oat,” with the rest of its composition being water, sugar and/or sweeteners, vegetable oil, and a bunch of artificial additives to preserve and make the beverage edible. We suggest checking the label of different milk alternatives to find the one with the least possible ingredients, no more than four, and always buy the unsweetened version.
