The Shocking List of “Health Foods” That Aren’t Healthy At All

8. Pita Chips

Pita chips get plenty of press for being healthy because they’re baked.Okay, that’s great, but why does that matter?

The most important thing is what’s in the food.

I always ignore how something is made until I’ve looked over the ingredients list and the nutrition facts label. Often, what you’ll find is that most pita chips are lacking in fiber, and are made with wheat flours that don’t fall into the “whole grain” department.

Just like with whole wheat bread, if you’re choosing any product made with grains that can’t claim “100% Whole Grains,” it’s probably not worth your time or money.
