I have often looked at the foods in the supermarket and been totally confused by the sheer amount of information that is on the Food labels.This is all mandatory and supposed protect the consumer, but the complexity does the opposite.What this book does is, in an easy to follow way, take you through a step by step process to simplify and demystify, this extraordinary flood of data.I was captivated how I was taken from the FDA definitions of things like carbohydrates, Transfats etc. and how Food manufacturers could eliminate undesirable classifications, by changing the "serving" size.The book provides more than an interpretation however, and outlines some of the issues with common ingredients, which could cause potential harm.Some of the definitions and distinctions between Natural and Organic are worth the price of the book alone.So a clear, easy guide to check exactly what you are eating and then make your own healthy choices accordingly.
