Avocados are a great source of healthy raw fat, which is missing in many people today and can actually help with weight loss
Have you ever stopped to check the ingredients and the nutrition facts on your bottle of ketchup before squeezing a dollop onto your food? Recently I was doing some research on the ingredients and what I found shocked me.
We all know that nutrition labels usually list the ingredient that is used the most first. In this case, the ‘tomato concentrate’ is used the most. And for some, it sounds pretty healthy.

Shrimp is the most consumed seafood in the United States. In fact, 25% of all seafood we buy in America, is shrimp. It’s tasty and most people consider is healthy.

The same can be said with the chicken we buy in the store. That is because, as to no surprise, US chicken started to have a ton of man-made and chemical processing and farming techniques imposed on it. Many of these techniques resulted in radically changing the nutritional value of chicken… and its safety!
