Myths and Facts About Popular Health Foods

“Fro-yo” is a craze that has taken over the entire nation. While frozen yogurt promises the healthy benefits of yogurt with the taste of ice cream, this so-called healthy treat is not often recommended as a healthy dessert. Plain frozen yogurt by itself is not the enemy, but the topping bar is another story. Crushed oreos, cookie dough, hot fudge — the possibilities are endless and overwhelmingly unhealthy. Portion control is also an issue at self-serve frozen yogurt bars. A recent study found that people tend to eat most of what they serve themselves, which can lead to weight gain. Dietitians typically recommend sticking to other healthy snacks. But if you do opt for this frozen treat, be sure to choose the fresh fruit and nut toppings options.
