For many years now I have been telling everyone that the safest and healthiest way to eat is to consume only fresh foods.  That means shopping only the fresh vegetable and fruit aisle and the fresh meat aisles of the grocery store.  My message has been "If it comes in a printed package, don't eat it."  That means to eat, one has to engage the almost forgotten art of cooking from raw ingredients.

Well not surprisingly most people have ignored my advice because of the time and effort involved in preparing food in the healthiest manner.  In an effort to increase the health of my patients in a manner they can more easily achieve I spent four hours reading the ingredients of hundreds of products that are in printed packages to find some that were acceptable choices for consumption.  The key criteria I was searching for were foods that are gluten free, dairy free, low in sugar and simple carbohydrates, low in toxic chemicals, that could still be stored in your cupboards.  

Unfortunately, most of the so-called "health foods" failed the test because they were mostly starch-based foods - unacceptable carb levels.  Eliminating gluten and dairy wipes out most of the typical prepared food dishes as they all have either milk, cheese, or wheat in them.  What is left is a group of foods that are fairly healthy that the average person can make up to eat without having to do a lot of complex cooking.  Of course they won't have the same high nutrition fresh foods have, but they are much more practical.
