Popular superfoods just spending money

Yep, that’s right. Some so-called “superfoods” marketed to raw foodists are not so super at all. In fact, MOST raw superfoods are a complete waste of your money!
For today, let’s stick with a few of the more popular products: spirulina, hemp protein powder, and goji berries.
Hopefully you haven’t been sucked into buying these superfoods due to hype marketing and well-written sales pages.
Sorry to rub it in if you have, but the following information is for your own good.

#1: Spirulina
Spirulina is a blue-green algae typically sold in powder form and very popular within the raw food movement.
Cost
$30-40 per pound
What (Supposedly) Makes It So Super?
• nutrient-dense
• provides all of the essential amino acids
• good source of vitamin B12
Why You Shouldn’t Buy It
Spirulina is nutrient-rich? Perhaps, but it really doesn’t matter because the recommended dose of 6-10 grams per day is tiny.
At the high end, 10 grams of spirulina contains only 2.6 mcg of vitamin K, 9.4 mcg of folate, 12 mg of calcium, and 19.5 mg of magnesium.

According to him, this means lots of meat and fat and very few carbohydrates. These are the foods that our ancestors thrived on and these are the foods that we thrive on today.
