Just about every packaged thing in the grocery store has a starburst on it, calling your attention to the dazzling health benefits of the food inside. I'm nicknaming them health halos—and they're blinding! Words like "trans-fat free," "live cultures," "omega-3," "vegan," and "organic" make us overlook the fact that these things have calories, fat, and sugar.<\/p>\n
Put out some "low-fat" candy and people will eat up 28 percent more<\/a> than if regular candy were served. Sure, 100-calorie snack packs seem harmless, but research<\/a> shows many dieters eat a few too many 100-calorie packs in a day, sabotaging their goals. And remember the "SnackWell's Syndrome" of the '90s, at the peak of the low-fat craze? People ate entire boxes of that company's Devil's Food Cookie Cakes in one sitting.<\/p>\n
