Food Labels

What are feeding our children and ourselves? Learn to read labels.

For a list of “nice words” that really mean MSG see http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/04/21/MSG-Is-This-Silent-Killer-Lurking-in-Your-Kitchen-Cabinets.aspx

Anything "hydrogenated" or called "lard", "shortening", or "margarine" is a toxic, carcinogenic fat.

Sugars: High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is terribly toxic. Sugar-words include “syrup”, “sweetener”, and anything ending in “-ose” eg glucose, fructose, maltose. Also:
  • Dehydrated Cane Juice
  • Dextrin
  • Fruit juice concentrate
  • Honey
  • Invert sugar
  • Maltodextrin
  • Molasses
  • Saccharose
  • Sorghum or sorghum syrup
  • Treacle
  • Turbinado Sugar
  • Xylose
