Alternative spellingsNounhealth food (countable and uncountable; plural health foods)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Health food is used to describe any food that is considered to be healthy, or it can mean specific foods claimed to be especially beneficial to health. "Health food" is not precisely defined by the USDA or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Health foods are not necessarily organic foods. Health food labelingWhile there is no precise definition for "health food", the FDA has warned food manufacturers against labeling foods "healthy" that have high sugar, salt, or fat content. Specific health food claimsA common definition of "health food" is a food that acts like a medicine, providing specific favorable effects on health. Purported examples of health foods include alfalfa or broccoli sprouts, wheat germ, and yogurt. In general, these claims of health benefits have not been evaluated by the FDA. Health foods are sold in health food stores or in the health/organic section of supermarkets. In the United States, the term is often used for foods that are low in fat and/or sugar, since overconsumption of fatty and sugary foods is seen as contributing to the obesity epidemic.

I was just really sick and had to be on antibiotics, so once I'm off them and better I'd like to go to the health food store and get things to kind of fix myself up, since taking any kind of "meds" makes me uncomfortable. Are Probiotics or any kind of protein drinks, etc any good? Thanks! Asked by darkshadows9 - Tue Apr 29 09:55:00 2008 - - 7 Answers - 1 Comments A. Some of the most popular natural products for boosting the immune system are Colostrum, Mushrooms (Maitake, Shiitake, and Reishi), IP-6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate), Beta Glucans, Elderberry, Echinacea (should be taken short-term only), and any antioxidants. As far as Probiotics, that's the beneficial bacteria that lives in your intestinal tract. If you are taking antibiotics for a short time, you should get some good Probiotics to take after the antibiotics are completely finished. If you take them together, the antibiotics will kill the Probiotics before they can be beneficial and it might lessen the potency or effect of the antibiotics... but you'll need the Probiotics to replenish your intestinal flora after the antibiotics have killed… [cont.] Answered by oldtimekid2 - Tue Apr 29 10:02:19 2008 Is raw meat from an average health food store irradiated? Q. Hi, I would like to know if raw, organic meat from a health food store is irradiated as I recently have learned that it sometimes is. Can you give me a reliable source? Thanks. Asked by C - Sun Oct 19 10:02:22 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Certified organic meat should never be irradiated as that would be against the USDA regulations that expressly ban irradiation of organic meats (and all other organic foods). Not certified organic meat not bought direct from the farmer likely is irradiated To be really safe buy your meats direct from the farmer more information on irradiation in meats and organic foods. check out the book Zapped by Winona Hauter which is all about this subject.
