Nutritionists Reject 'Superfood' Label, Emphasize Whole-Food Variety Over Trendy Powders

The term 'superfood' lacks scientific definition and serves primarily as a marketing tool, according to multiple dietitians. While foods like berries and turmeric are nutritious, experts stress that no single item can guarantee health outcomes. Instead, consistent consumption of varied, minimally processed whole foods is the key to long-term well-being.

A simple starter: berries; also limit alcohol and ultraprocessed foods and boost omega-3 intake for ongoing anti-inflammatory benefits.

Sam's Club Rotisserie Chicken Crowned Winner in Editors' Taste Test

Editors compared five store-bought rotisserie chickens (Sam's Club, Walmart, Whole Foods, Publix, Costco) on taste, texture, and overall experience, and Sam's Club was the unanimous winner for moist, tender, and flavorful meat. Costco was noted as the moistest but milder in seasoning, Walmart offered good flavor but a drier texture, Whole Foods was drier and less flavorful, and Publix was meatier but underseasoned; overall the test suggests Sam's Club as the best all-around option for eating on its own or adding to recipes, with a price under $5.

Food Quality Trumps Macros for Heart Health, Large Study Finds

A Harvard-led analysis of nearly 200,000 U.S. health professionals followed for about 30 years finds heart health improves when diets emphasize quality—vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats—while reducing processed foods and excess animal fats, rather than simply counting carbs or fats; this is linked to better cholesterol, lower inflammation, and a lower risk of coronary heart disease, with the study spanning over 5.2 million person-years and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Fiber First: Whole-Plant Foods Beat Supplements for Gut Health

Gastroenterologists say most people should boost fiber mainly through a variety of fiber-rich plant foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds) to support the gut microbiome and reduce chronic-disease risk, with daily targets of 25 g for women and 38 g for men, though many Americans average about 15 g. Supplements like psyllium can help when diet alone falls short, but they provide a single type of fiber and don’t offer the wide range of nutrients found in whole foods.
