Beware of these common DECEPTIVE practices by the FOOD INDUSTRY Its 5:00 pm and you just finished a day of work...instead of going home to relax, you make a stop at the dry cleaner, run through the car wash, then head over to do some food shopping for you and your family. You are in a bit of a rush to get home but want to get some healthy foods for you and your family...so as you quickly walk down the aisle, you grab boxes labeled: Fat Free, No Sugar Added, Gluten Free, Low Fat, etc etc etc. There is no politically correct way of saying this: Food companies care ZERO about your health. If they are making something Fat FREE (btw, lets even ignore them using the word free as a trigger) its because they can sell more of it. Same with any other label where they point out what they are not Adding. Look at the subtleties of the No Sugar Added label below...notice the nice healthy heart shape. This is there for a reason. These labels are on the foods because they sell more with the labels on than off. The food companies spend millions of dollars on testing these things. Do not fall for these gimmicks and read your labels carefully to see what else is in the food. No sugar added doesnt mean there isnt already a ton of sugar in there to begin with!!! Better yet, try to avoid eating things that are in boxes. Real food wont have a label with a hundred ingredients.
