Natural Diet Is Best – Say No To Food Chemicals

Hellmann’s Says No To Chemicals

I recently saw a commercial on TV advertising Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise™ that said “What if we all said no to chemicals in our food?” That is a terrific line. If we all said no, we do not want chemicals in our food anymore, they would stop putting them in. Every time you purchase a product you are voting for it. When you buy a chemically-laden mayonnaise you are saying: make more of this please. When your diet includes more natural foods your vote is going toward the real food choice.

Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise™ is made of all real food ingredients. They also carry a reduced fat as well as a low-calorie. Both of these products have more chemicals or added ingredients in the list. Real mayonnaise that you make yourself (if anyone does anymore) has eggs, oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper and that is it. Is homemade mayonnaise or Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise™ better for you? You bet it is! Is it less calories? No. Instead of focusing on what you do not want in your food… calories, fat, sugar… start to focus on what you do want… real food ingredients. This small shift in focus will result in better health. If everyone focused on real food choices and just said no to chemicals in our food, then in the long run the overall quality of our food supply would improve.

Healthy Food Education

In today’s food world, it is unfortunate that it requires an education to learn what healthy and what not to eat. When you look at the ingredient list, in most cases if you do not know what it is, then it is a chemical.  Every time we purchase something we are basically placing a vote. From now on let’s say NO to chemicals!
