Dr. Ana-Maria Temple walks through Costco's back-to-school section to separate genuinely healthy products from ones with misleading labels. She flags hidden sugars, carrageenan, synthetic gums, and other additives that can trigger inflammation and eczema in kids, while pointing out items like bone broth and avocado-oil chips with clean ingredient lists.

We know that sitting is the new smoking, so this standing desk at Costco is $279.99 that adjusts to any level. You can even put a treadmill walking pack underneath it. Back to school lunches. So this has an option for sandwiches, little bento box option with the freezable ice tray that you put at the bottom. And then you put your bento box and food on top.

I know these are not new, but this is my public service announcement. These are— they— these packages look like they're about the same thing. These organic dried mangoes only contain mangoes. These contain added sugar and sulfites to keep that color yellow. Added sugar and sulfites contribute to allergic disease like eczema and other inflammatory conditions like headaches and migraines.
