More from the book Mindless Eating.
Decoding Labels and Health Claims. Here is a guide to product labels :
LOW- The product doesn't have a lot of a particular substance, but it still has enough to make a difference in your diet. For example, "low calorie" means 40 calories or less per serving while "low fat" means three grams or less of total fat.
REDUCED- a nutritionally altered product- such as reduced fat- contains at least 25 percent less fat than the "regular version".
LESS- has the same meaning as "reduced", but a food might not be altered nutritionally.
LIGHT or LITE- a nutritionally altered product that contains a third fewer calories or half the ft or sodium of the original food.
FREE- a product that has "virtually" no fat, saturated fat, calories, sugars, sodium or cholesterol. "Virtually" means a trace amount may remain.
LEAN and EXTRA-LEAN - these terms refer to meat. "Lean" means one serving as less than 10 grams of total fat and 4.5 grams of saturated fat. "Extra lean" means one serving as less than 5 grams of total fat and 2 grams of saturated fat.
QOTD- Did you know what the differences are between the terms ? Do you select foods based on the above labels ? What are some of the products you buy based on the above labels ?
The book didn't explain what "nutritionally altered" involved in light and reduced foods.
