Food labels and nutrition facts: What do they really mean?
Even if you do all of your grocery shopping at a natural foods store, you can’t assume everything on the shelves is good for you.
Checking the Nutrition Facts panel on products is a start, but it’s often not enough to determine whether a food is healthy or not. That’s not because the numbers lie—they just don’t provide enough details, such as where ingredients came from, how they were processed and how much of each was used.
