“The front is all advertising,” says Michelle K. Berman, R.D., of Fairfax, Virginia. Flip around for the real story. The more ingredients, the more processing plants where something artificial was mixed in, says Lydia Zepeda, Ph.D., professor of consumer science at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Really liked your article. I have made a lifestyle change and it has changed my life forever. You hit home on many topics. Being vegan, I have noticed what process foods do to you. Funny thing is I used to work in a turkey food processing plant years ago. We used to get discounted processed turkey meat. Our freezer was full. We ate every bit of it. Can I say I had to change because my blood pressure was off the charts. I have control now. Great article and keep up the good info!
