“All Natural” Foods

Everything from chicken to fruit juice gets the “all natural” label these days. The use of “all natural” has become the most common marketing ploy term in existence.

Unfortunately, anything that originated from the earth can be termed “natural,” even if that ingredient has been tinkered with and engineered multiple-times over, and is now completely nutrient-deficient.

So while the term “all natural” doesn’t in and of itself qualify a food as bad, I’m always weary of this label because it shows me that the company is using what is currently a grey area in food labeling to its marketing advantage.

As always, read labels and ingredients. If there’s even a single word on the label that you don’t recognize or can’t pronounce, chances are you don’t want to be putting it into your body.
