So lately I have been noticing that many food products say one thing on the front of their packages, but the nutrition labels tells a different story. I thought I might share some knowledge with those of you who have been fooled by pretty labels.
The biggest myth or false advertisement of them all is "No Sugar Added" in juice brands. WTF!!?!?!?! Whoever came up with this idea totally sucks. If you read the nutrition label on those brands, it STILL has about the same amount of sugar as the regular version. (ex, reg 33g sugar, "no sugar added" 27g sugar) The difference is pretty much nonexistent.
I searched long and hard for a juice that didn't scream DIABETES!!! After much searching and nutrition label reading, I finally found a juice that I can feel good about drinking. It is the DIET version of Ocean Spray Cranberry. It still taste delicious, but it more healthy for you. And get this, even though it has only 2g of sugar per 8oz the label does not say "no sugar added". Pay attention to what you are drinking and what you give to your loved ones, especially those with health problems. Sometimes taking the extra minute to read can make all the difference between living a healthy lifestyle and killing yourself slowly.
This blog allows me to be completely myself. Free from fear and judgement, I am able to speak on whatever crosses my mind. I'll share some good cooking with you and I also want to open up multiple lines of discussion centered around random events in our daily lives. Gotta have some place to vent, lol.
