See book keywords and concepts |  Although manufacturers are not required to list the percentage of sugar calories, you can get an idea of the sugar content by reading the ingredients list. A food might be too sweet if sugar is one of the first three ingredients or if the list includes several sources of sugar
• Use more spices. Cinnamon, vanilla, spearmint, and anise provide a sweet taste to foods without adding sugar or calories. Aspartame also can be used in moderation.
Regardless of the name, all added sugar is essentially calories with no redeemable nutrient qualities. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The FDA should also require that irradiated ingredients in processed foods be so labeled in the ingredients list, and restaurants should disclose their use of irradiated foods.
ž Call on Congress to ask the National Academy of Sciences to review the basis on which the safety of irradiation has been judged.
ž Demand that the government regularly inspect food irradiation facilities, and develop methods for determining if and how heavily food has been irradiated. the illegal sales of veterinary drugs. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There are foods being sold with the label "no sugar added" that plainly include fructose on the ingredients list. This is false. Make no mistake—fructose is a sugar.
If you read magazines for dieters or athletes, then you've read the ballyhoo on behalf of the supposedly "new, improved" sugar, fructose. Fructose sales benefit agribusiness, because when used commercially, this sweetener is derived from corn. Income from sales also accrues to the pockets of food marketing corporations, since fructose is widely used in fast foods in its liquid form. | | It is usually listed on packages as "sugar," but sometimes, in foods with so much sugar that sugar should be the first word on the ingredients list, "sucrose" is listed separately near the end of the list along with several other kinds of sugar, to pacify the unwary. Don't be fooled. "Sucrose" is really plain old table sugar, the same stuff that makes dessert such a mine field for dieters.
Corn syrup. Strange as it sounds, it's possible that most of the sugar you eat comes in the form of corn syrup. This cheap, almost 100 percent glucose sugar is extracted from corn starch. |

See book keywords and concepts |  If the ingredients list contains sugar or syrup anywhere, don't buy it. Usually those with sugar will contain artificial colors and preservatives as well. With this kind of cereal, you are paying a lot of money for bad ingredients. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The presence of hydrogenated vegetable oil or vegetable shortening on a product's ingredients list should serve as a reminder to stay away from that product. Avoid margarine at all costs. At one time, people believed that polyunsaturated oil assisted in the reduction of cholesterol levels, but we now realize that the high trans fatty acid content in margarine only promotes heart disease. Unfiltered tap water can be a problem; it can eventually lead to coronary damage due to pollutants in the water supply. |
