You Should Stop Eating These Breakfast Foods If You’re Over 60 Years Old

Scones are often viewed as a lighter, less-sweet alternative to donuts or pastries. An iced café scone, however, is commonly made with refined flour, butter, cream, sugar, and a thick sweet glaze.

Large scones can be dense in calories while offering little fiber or protein. They may also be several times larger than a traditional portion. Choose a smaller whole-grain scone without icing, or have whole-grain toast with fruit and ricotta when you want something mildly sweet and creamy.
