Re: Are food labels reliable?
Well, Conagra did have a point that sunflower seeds will vary from seed to seed. That being the case, anything with multiple ingredients could probably vary. I'm sure companies take advantage of that zero rule as much as they can
Atkins was right though...fresh whole, real food.....then you don't need to worry as much

Re: Are food labels reliable?
I am always turned off by companies that go out of their way to mislead about the content of the processed foods. The new way of sneaking plain table sugar into a food is to call it 'evaporated cane juice' which is the process by which they make sugar cane or table sugar. "Sugar Free" can still contain corn syrup or dextrose or many other names for sugar. It is just easier and healthier for me to stay away from processed foods.People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
"Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before."
