Joy, Your food label tips are most important: but to not even mention the insidious additive: high fructose corn syrup, is unconsionable !!

The information about serving size, transfat, sodium, and fiber is certainly accurate. Its unfortunate, however, that nutritionists do not seem to keep up with medical research that has been published since they left grad school. Low fat diets have been linked to obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Recent work published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates that saturated fat (e.g. butter, lard, cream, etc.) is just as healthy as monosaturated fat (e.g. olive oil). Its true that saturated fat raises LDL cholesterol, but the increase is in high mass LDL (which is not linked to heart disease), but not in low mass LDL (which is linked to heart disease). Attention should also be given to carbohydrates, especially sugar and overally refined carbs. Fructose (the kind of sugar found in corn sweeteners and fruit) is probably the worst sugar despite its low glycemic index.

Do we really need to teach people how to read? Give me a break! The reason as a population we have an issue is people don't find it a nessecity to educate themselves and rely mass media to run and rule their lives

you put nothing in there about those of us who are watching carbohydrate intake for diabetes and weight reasons. "Carbs" are listed on the packages and in the ingredients the sugars if any are also listed.

What is amazing is the way companies hide things by renaming them on labels. I love when a product says 0grams of transfat, but on the label it clearly says partially-hydrogenated whatever oil(soybean oil for example). The process of trans-ing fats is hydrogenation.

Its so true what the other person said. Sugar is far worse than fat but nutritionists and doctors all keep pushing this as if it were the gospel. How can they not know this?? Human beings need fat, just not the kind of fat you would eat on a fatty steak. We need the lubrication for our joints and overall health. Bottom line, try to eat whole foods, grains, vegetables without spraying if you can, less red meat, less processed foods. Women who are in menopause should also try Vitex or Chaste Tree to help with symptoms. Just some free advice!!!
