It’s Important to Read Food Labels

junk food

If a food product has a label with multiple ingredients I recommend not eating it! It’s pretty much that simple. Processed foods are not whole foods.  The longer the list of ingredients, the further you should stay away.

These are some of the words that should trigger an alert:

  • Artificial (anything!)
  • High fructose corn syrup
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Ammonium sulfate
  • Carminic acid (crushed bug parts)
  • Sodium benzoate
  • Ammonium sulfate (fertilizer)
  • Refined grains
  • Shellac (more bug parts)
  • Castoreum (beaver anal glands)
  • Gum base (from sheep)
  • L-cystine (hair or duck feathers)
  • MSG
  • Olestra
  • LOW FAT (anything!)
  • Sugar (there are over 300 different names for sugar…I have the whole list in the Create Your Own Nutrition Program)
  • Bleached white flour
  • Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil / Hydrogenated Soybean Oil

Things you should eat:
Almost anything in the produce section!  Organic, whole foods! Get rid of processed foods forever!
