Episode 3468:
Dr. Neal Malik explains that green superfood powders can be a convenient supplement, but they should never replace whole fruits and vegetables. Discover the potential benefits and risks of ingredients like spirulina, why supplement quality matters, and how to choose a product that is independently tested and low in additives and added sugars.
Quotes to ponder:
"These green superfood powders are supplements, not replacements for the whole foods we should be consuming every day."
"If the list has a lot of ingredients, especially ones that are hard to pronounce, it likely means the product contains lots of additives."
"The total grams of added sugars listed should be close to 0."
