The foods you think are healthy - but are NOT

Australian nutritionist Susie Burrell has revealed five foods that have us fooled - and the culprits may surprise you.

She notes that just 10 rice crackers have 24grams of carbohydrates, the same as two small pieces of bread. 

They are also often packed with MSG and are low in protein and other 'key nutrients'.

'Flavoured rice crackers in particular are hardly a healthy choice, especially for children,' Susie writes.  

'They simply offer "empty calories" along with a rapid rise in blood glucose levels rather than long lasting energy.' 

Burrell recommends munching on cakes and crackers that are based in corn and rye instead, and always checking the ingredients to make sure MSG isn't on the list.

And while soy sauce has hardly gotten as bad of a rap as MSG, Burrell warns that it could ruin what would otherwise have been a healthy Japanese lunch.
