They overpay for everything: they spend more on their auto insurance policies, they spend more on car repairs, and they spend more on their grocery shopping. But people who have accumulated financial wealth make better financial decisions because they know how the system works. They buy auto insurance policies with higher deductibles, because they have the extra $500 in case something happens, and they know that in terms of risk versus reward it's much smarter to buy a high deductible policy and pocket the difference.

Providing information to consumers about the so-called "dangers" of certain chemicals or heavy metals, without the full scientific context by which such conclusions were reached, will only serve to confuse consumers and may in fact compromise their ability to make healthful grocery shopping decisions.

Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

Lack of phytonutrients / phytochemicals Here's another grocery shopping pitfall. I've fallen into this trap myself, and I've watched many others do it, too. The trap is that when you buy convenience foods, you may find yourself lacking a sufficient intake of all important phytonutrients (more commonly called "phytochemicals") that come from plant sources. The Standard American Diet is, in particular, lacking phytochemicals. It's as if people are so focused on the immediate taste sensation they desire that they forget about their body's other health needs.

Popular peanut butters (hydrogenated oils + sugar) Peanut butter presents a common grocery shopping pitfall. At first, it appears to be an excellent choice for healthy eating, but a closer inspection of the ingredients label reveals otherwise.

Instant rolled oats (high glycemic index) Instant rolled oats present another common grocery shopping pitfall. Oats sound healthy, don't they? The FDA has even approved certain health claims that may be printed on the labels of products made with oats. Certainly, oats can be healthy if eaten in their whole grain form, but almost no oat product at any grocery store offers that: they mostly contain instant, processed oats that are both easy to cook and much higher on the glycemic index scale than whole grain oats.

This is a significant positive change for the health of not only readers, but also their families, especially children, because reading food labels is the only way to know what you're eating. Manufacturers hide so many dangerous ingredients in food labels that, unless you make a special effort to read them, you will inevitably end up consuming ingredients that are dangerous to your health, such as hidden hydrogenated oils and yeast extract -- which is an ingredient that contains monosodium glutamate -- or artificial colors and other similar ingredients.

When you're grocery shopping, take time to read labels and pick cereals with a high-fiber content. General Mills' Fiber One, for example, has 13 grams of fiber in half a cup.

Like a sponge, it swells with water, making the stool soft enough to pass quickly and smoothly through your system. The best way to get more fiber is to eat fiber-rich foods, which will also give you lots of nutrients.

If you do your grocery shopping weekly, Polk suggests buying canned fruits and vegetables for the latter part of the week, after you've used up your fresh produce. A rule of thumb, she says, is to buy as many fresh fruits and vegetables as you expect to use in three days.

Each weekend I go over our family's schedule for the week, then plan the meals around the schedule. grocery shopping is done from the list. If some of the menus can be prepared in advance, I schedule time in the kitchen to do this. Many meals can be prepared in large quantity, frozen, then reheated on a night when time is short or when I am tired. The advantage of preparing several meals at once is obvious: I only dirty the kitchen once. We allow our children to help us select restaurants, but we set the guidelines: no fast-food chains and no greasy spoons.

This time, the victims seemed to have nothing in common except grocery shopping. The trail began with this single clue and led health department investigators to supermarkets where they noticed that the fruit and vegetable bins are sprayed at frequent intervals to keep them cool and fresh.

As it turned out, the troughs were not cleaned regularly, providing a perfect breeding ground for the growth of algae, which in turn nourished colonies of the Legionella bacteria.
