Fall is approaching, also known to some as the “pumpkin flavor season”. More pumpkin-inspired products are hitting the market earlier than other, and experts are wanting consumers to be aware of what that could mean for your health. 

While pumpkin itself is considered a “superfood” offering health benefits like; protecting our cells from damage, helping with blood sugar management, aiding in gut health and digestion, lowering bad levels of cholesterol, and is very low in calories among other things. Be careful though, not all those pumpkin-spiced treats offer the same benefits and can be found packed with sugar and fat with none of the good stuff.
