If you do buy foods with labels (I try not to, as much as practical, as well) I often can't believe how much superfluous crap manufacturers put into what, at first glance, appear to be 'healthy' foods.<br /><br />Another tip is to look at the sell-by and use-by dates. If an item has a loooong date, there's usually a reason for that. Often, that reason is that the food has been, in the politest way I can put this, buggered about with! Real food goes off. That's nature's way of telling you fresh is important.Denizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633002838343992787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-13804944470284742622012-11-13T19:12:10.682-05:002012-11-13T19:12:10.682-05:00I do the same thing when buying BBQ sauce too -- i...I do the same thing when buying BBQ sauce too -- it's tough to find ones that don't have HFCS, and many also have some form of wheat/gluten too!The CilleyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655326831902251300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-4156109274734279382012-11-13T18:38:09.795-05:002012-11-13T18:38:09.795-05:00Most bread in the "regular" bread aisle ...Most bread in the "regular" bread aisle have several forms of sugar high on their ingredient lists, and most of the "whole wheat" bread you see from Pepperidge Farm, Nissen, etc. is colored with molasses. There's not much I buy with a label or an ingredient list anymore: Teddie peanut butter (peanuts, salt), Matthew's Whole Wheat bread for the Spawn (it has 7 ingredients, no sweeteners), Ezekiel bread, brown rice (brown rice), canned tuna and sardines, coffee, tea, oats, honey...all pretty much single ingredient products. I looked at the ingredient list on Special K 100 Calorie bars a while ago and they have about 56 ingredients including 11 forms of sugar, but, you know, they're low calorie and named after fruits, so they must be good. ;)Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949876371473945014noreply@blogger.com
