It’s using buzzwords to trick you. These words sound healthy, so it helps companies trick people who don’t understand what’s going on (and clearly it’s working)

​

In reality, it’s not inherently healthier (it can be, but simply being whole wheat/whole grain does not make it so).

Much more important to pay attention to calories, and macro nutrients, and ingredients.
