Chicken nuggets are a staple in today's diet -- make it clean and your inflammation will thank you. Get access to the best teas in the world plus my favorite tea brewer!
Fried chicken nuggets are generally not considered the healthiest option for a few reasons:
Processed Ingredients: Many store-bought or fast food chicken nuggets contain processed ingredients, additives, preservatives, and fillers that can be unhealthy. These often include high amounts of sodium, artificial flavorings, and low-quality meat.
Low in Nutrients: You are what your chicken eats — most chicken on the market is coming from the same processor and it is sick chickens (ones without a healthy diet, sunshine and exercise). Cooking with pasture-raised chicken is ideal.
Acrylamide Formation: Frying food at high temperatures can lead to the formation of acrylamide, a potential carcinogen. Plus they are using inflammatory seed oils that are driving up inflammation and damaging your health.

Inflammation in a Cup? The Hidden Dangers of Popular Yogurts
Many popular yogurts are packed with artificial flavors, preservatives, and additives that can disrupt your gut health. Non-fat dairy often comes from cows fed inflammatory diets, which lowers the quality of the yogurt. Pasteurization after culturing destroys the beneficial probiotics, leaving you with a product that's essentially "dead." Stevia might seem like a natural sweetener, but its production involves a harsh chemical process that can lead to bloating.
True clean yogurts, like Culina, Coconut Cult, and CocoJune (pure coconut), are made with high-quality ingredients and live probiotics.
Fat in yogurt isn’t the enemy—healthy fats actually help you feel full and satisfied. Misleading labels in the food industry make it hard to find clean options, but the Read the Labels app can help you scan and verify your yogurt choices.
