15 Foods Marketed as "Healthy" That Are a Total Scam

Are you a fan of flavored yogurt? Then you might reconsider your choices. A user said, “ It was marketed for years as a “healthy snack” when most of those tiny Yoplait cups have more sugar than a Coke.”

1. Flavored Yogurt

While juices are (sometimes) derived from fruits, the juicing process removes the beneficial fiber in whole fruits. As a result, the juice becomes concentrated with sugars.

2. Packaged Juices

A user said, “Nutella ran ads 20+ years ago. Less fat than peanut butter. Less sugar than jam. Technically the truth, but still huge amounts of both.” Clever!

3. Chocolate Spreads

Herbalife is a multi-level marketing company, and users believe the products cause more harm than good. “The more Herbalife salespeople I talk to, the more cult-like the company seems.” A user said.

4. Herbalife Products

A comment said, “They're chocolate, oats and sugar for the most part. Oats can be healthy by themselves. But a granola bar is unhealthy due to all the sugar, chocolate and stuff along with them.

5. Granola Bars

The responses flooded in, unveiling the deceptively labeled unhealthy foods that frequently pass themselves off as wholesome alternatives.
