Re: Label Lies: A FREE Video Presentation

[Guest guest]

Jeff,

That was an informative presentation with good guidelines for

evaluating nutritional content of packaged foods.

The sodium guideline is good, but I have found that to avoid cramps, I

need extra salt on hot days when I do physical work and sweat a lot.

I am sure that some people in the audience were shocked to find out

that a lot of packaged " health food " is not so healthy. On a recent

visit to Whole Foods, I noticed some chocolates that had " copra oil " .

Most people don't know that this is just coconut oil. The

cat-and-mouse game between manufacturers and consumers goes on.
