For the article of the week this week, we discuss the recent recommendation from the AHA that claims pop tarts are a smart snack. This comes from the Alliance For A Healthier Generation which is a partnership program founded by the American Heart Association, The Clinton Foundation, and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
So, how can this program recommend products like pop tarts, diet soda and chips as heart healthy snacks for children?
This might come as a shock to some of you but this organization doesn’t care about your health at all. It has very deep ties to the food industry and they care about profits not health. Selling cheap, sugar filled snack foods to children keeps their profits high.
To learn more about the corruption of the American Heart Association and how they have a vested interest in keeping these sugar filled snacks on the shelf, listen to this week’s podcast.
