Comments on: Is Frozen Food Healthy? http://www.buildingnutrition.com/content/is-frozen-food-healthy/ Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:39:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Darryl Mott Jr. http://www.buildingnutrition.com/content/is-frozen-food-healthy/comment-page-1/#comment-17730 Darryl Mott Jr. Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:48:49 +0000 http://www.buildingnutrition.com/content/is-frozen-food-healthy/#comment-17730 I disagree on full-fat vs. low-fat ice cream. Low fat ice cream typically isn't made with much healthier ingredients (side from ones that use artificial sweeteners), it just has more overrun. Overrun is the air that's worked into ice cream as it's churned. As air has no calories and ice cream is packaged by volume rather than weight, a company can use 100% overrun (the highest legal amount by USDA regulation) vs. a product with 25% overrun and claim it has fewer calories/fat. So you're paying extra money to buy air and get less food. Ice cream is not healthy, nor should it be. It's eggs, milk, and sugar that's been frozen...it's NEVER going to be good for you. It is a treat. Consume it in moderation if you want a healthy diet, or don't eat it at all. I disagree on full-fat vs. low-fat ice cream.

I could be wrong though. Anybody has another thought? I heard somewhere that the acceptable level of sodium is below 2000mg/day. I could be wrong though. Anybody has another thought?

I only buy whole wheat chapattis and I eat atleast one of it everyday. Is it okay? It is very difficult to dough the wheat flour and make fresh chapattis at home so I use this as a quick alternative.

What is the acceptable level(or %)of sodium (salt) in frozen foods,e.g.pizza? What is the normal % of sodium in processed foods which will not harm us healthwise? I am really concerned about this.. Thanks a million..Naren I have a question; I’ll apprciate your reply.
