10 Foods That Sound Healthy (but Aren't)

For the last few years I've been really interested in foods concerning what is good & bad for you. I found this article off the Cooking Light website & it helps explain those tricky labels that might sound healthy.
This is what they came up with:
1. Multi-Grain and Wheat Breads (should be 100% WHOLE wheat)
2. Prepared Salads
3. Reduced-Fat Peanut Butter
4. "Energy" Bars
5. Bran Muffins
6. Smoothies
7. Packaged Turkey
8. Foods labeled "Fat Free"
9. Restaurant Baked Potatoes
10. Sports Drinks
Find the whole article here.
