"Health Food" vs. Healthy Food -- How to read labels
Uploaded by: headveg
Video Description:
Do you know how to read food labels? Maybe you THOUGHT you did. Truth is, you probably don't.
But Jeff Novick, MS, RD -- of the McDougall program -- does. And in his full talk he shows the 3 easy steps you MUST know if you ever buy foods at any supermarket or "health" food store.
In this online excerpt, Novick -- who used to be a food service manager at Kraft Foods -- exposes one of the dirty secrets major food corporations use to deceive consumers. It's no accident labels are so confusing!
High-protein/low-carb diet proponents claim that the US started eating "low-fat" foods 20 years ago and yet still gained weight, "proving" that the low-fat diet wasn't effective.
But that's nonsense, as Novick demonstrates in his talk.
The foods weren't/aren't low-fat at all. Food companies use sleight of hand to make them appear that way.
Novick shows how to cut through the nonsense of food labeling to see what you need to see, and understand what you're really getting.
This is an excerpt from Novick's 80-minute talk at the VegSource 2007 Healthy Lifestyle Expo, and part of a 12-part series of top health expert presentations.
In his full fascinating and entertaining presentation, Novick teachers the "three easy rules" for cutting through the b.s. and quickly understanding food labels, to know exactly what you're getting. After watching his talk, you'll never look at packaged food the same!

Thus for a can of soup which is 1.4g fat/100g and 260kJ/100g the calculation is
1.4 x 3700 / 260 = 20% of calories from fat.
What is wrong with you?
If you have 1 gram of fat in a glass, and you ad a cup of water to it, you STILL have 1 gram of fat in the glass! The fat doesn't just disappear because you added water to it.
The fat is diluted and spread around in the water, but it isn't reduced!
YOU need to go back to 7th grade!
Also, one should note the amount of sodium, cholesterol, too. (not to mention a well-balanced diet/life-style).
