YOAD

This weekend is a great time to dump your fridge. Follow the rule of five-if a product has one of these in the first five ingredients, toss it in the garbage as it is making you fatter and older, we believe:

1. Any saturated fat: if it comes from a four legged animal, it very likely belongs in this group, plus palm oil and coconut oil

2. Any trans fat: hydrogenated oils of any kind. Hydrogenated canola oil is a fake out-it is a trans fat-out with it!!!

3. Any simple sugar -these usually end in -ose like glucose or sucrose or fructose or dextrose. Exception in 100% fruit juices and in fresh fruit and veggies

4. Any syrup-these are usually another word for sugar as in high fructose corn syrup or malt syrup

5. Any grain but 100% whole grain; so 100% durum wheat is not 100% whole grain durum wheat-watch for the head fakes-they are as bad for labels as in a hockey game.
