Peanut butter on apples instead of bread or crackers. Yumm and added fiber.

Before one claims that something is unhealthy due to high calories, one should look at calorie value versus just calories. I heard a glass of whole milk has more calories than some sodas. However soda’s calories are just calories. Milk has a wide range of nutrients. Despite having more calories than soda, milk is better.

"Nutella's 80% sugar, but it's better than frosting!" the corporate shilling is so strong in this video.

Wow! Everything is healthy! What does my doctor know?

The term "superfood" is just a marking term.

Most of these are favorites of mine, so I'm basically immortal at this point.

A word of caution about honey though: you have to be vigilant to make sure you are actually consuming real honey. A lot of "honey" products sold in stores are actually mainly corn syrup. Avoid those.
Also, on the popcorn point, real butter is not bad to have on it, in moderation of course. It's the artificial butter flavoring stuff that's usually on theater/processed popcorn that's not good for you.

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I agree with honey 100%. Also there is Manuka honey that has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

[Aguzman]

That’s it. I’m going to make popcorn drizzled with Nutella peanut butter honey. Add nuts, side of Chicharrón and tortilla chips and call it a day.

At 17:40 ...Peanut butter is good, but the kind with Hydrogenated oils is bad...always buy natural peanut butter...the kind you have to mix before serving...

For those of you who can't drink alcohol for any reason (I take meds that make alcohol make me too tired to enjoy it), there are some great red wines that are alcohol free. Just check out your grocery store. Asda here in the UK has a couple, along with an alcohol free rose & a couple of alcohol free whites.

Here are a couple of things they left out in regards to both beef jerky and peanut butter, they can be healthy if you get the right ones but 95% of the products on the shelf are NOT healthy. When looking for beef jerky you have to look at the sugar content and the ingredient list because they pump it full of chemicals to keep it shelf stable and they are using low grade beef. I usually look for grass feed with as few ingredients as possible and 3 or less grams of sugar. As for peanut butter if you are buying Jiffy or Skippy you are not getting healthy peanut butter because of all the added sugar and the chemicals they add to keep the oil from separating. If you actually want healthy peanut butter the ingredient list should have only one or two items which are peanuts and salt if you want salted peanut butter, that's it.

I think people in the diet world forget about the word moderation.

My dad make air pop popcorn when he feels like it. There are some nights my dad would do bake potatoes for him and my grandfather, he would use yogurt instead of sour cream

[bigdaddigaming]

I love pork rinds or pork scratching as there called back in Britain, I’ve always loved them even before I became diabetic

[royms]

This has to be the worst list I've ever seen them do. Apparently they seem to think: 1. If it's "natural" it's good, 2. you can never have too much protein, and 3. if it's not as bad some other "alternative", then it's healthy. Oh, and let's not forget those fad diets! If it suits one of those, it's good for you!

Try turkey chili with southwest seasoning, ground turkey, and white kidney beans 😍

[duckshoes]

Peanut butter is my ultimate workout snack. Lots of protein

[Dewald]

I don't get the red wine thing. If all the healthy parts come from the grapes, why not drink grape juice instead?
