I am a firm believer in too much of “anything” is not good for you. Although these “superfoods” may be beneficial, putting 100% confidence in them is not good. Its always good to keep a balanced diet and compliment it with superfoods like the Acai.

I do agree with the argument that the answer to vitality and longevity doesn’t lie in a manufactured supplement or a single superfood. I appreciate the points in favour or against the claim. Thanks for the nice article.

I am glad to learn about them that many do contain an abundance of nutrients or they’re high in antioxidants. I’ve enjoyed reading this interesting and informative post on easing up on superfoods. Yours is a nice job.

Excellent post and certainly supports my perspective. Superfoods are wonderful and a positive addition to the diet—but pills, powders, and potions should always be viewed as a supplement to a balanced approach to eating. A handful of Goji berries at lunch does not erase the morning’s donut! Eating has become so complicated and it really shouldn’t be. Thank you…great blog by the way!

Taking just one superfood product may or may not cure a condition. People who tell such stories are not making them up, but it doesn’t mean it will do the same for you.

That being said, nutrition is certainly the best healer on the planet, and a way better way to go instead of drugs. Ironically, the FDA says that only a drug can cure disease!

Thanks for the info. Sometimes the people who take and promote these superfoods make very unrealistic claims. A radio host who interviews me swears by an acaiberry juice (very expensive). He tells me his arthritic knee is now “healed”.

He has no reason to lie to me, however, I’m very skeptical.

Thanks,

Thanks Janet for putting this information “out there.” I came across your blog today for the first time and will be following your posts in the future. I am a Registered Dietitian in Ontario where there is a great amount of information, push and up-sell on these “super” foods by various “nutritionists” and media. I love that you are presenting the truth in a clear and understandable way. People do not need to believe they are required to spend $$$ on foods to be healthy. There is a beautiful array of affordable, nutritious, local foods that we can eat to be as healthy as can be. As RD’s I think we need to stand up and let people know this truth. Thank you for doing so. All my support. Stephanie Clairmont

Green superfood powders like wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina ARE the real thing! They’re whole foods just like spinach, kale, broccoli or celery, and have many times the nutritional value of any of those. Where did you get your nutritional degree anyway?
They are also not marketed as a “substitute” for other foods, but as “supplements,” and people who consume these items are generally health nuts and don’t eat processed food anyway.
People who take a swig of superfruit juice and think they don’t have to eat healthy don’t want to take the effort to improve their health.
