As we embark on our health improvement journey, it’s essential to decipher the seemingly obscure language of food labels. Let’s unravel the truth behind common claims found on our favorite products:

1. “All Natural”: While products labeled as “all-natural” can’t have added colors, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances, they may still contain preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, or sodium injections.
2. “No Sugar Added”: Don’t be fooled! Foods with this label could still contain sugar. It simply means that no extra sugar has been added.
3. “Fat-free”: Similarly to sugar-free claims, fat-free doesn’t necessarily equate to low calorie. These products may contain extra sugar to make up for reduced fat content.
