Are you confused about food labels? Reading and understanding food labels is essential to healthy eating. Food manufacturers play word games to hide the nasty ingredients in their products and make you think you are getting something better than they are really providing.
Amidst the marketing propaganda and misleading information, it can be tough to know what is really nourishing your body and what may be damaging your body.
In general, you will find that the least processed and most nourishing foods will either not require a label (i.e. broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, etc.) or will have brief ingredient lists with ingredients you recognize as foods that you could potentially produce yourself, in a garden, on a farm or in your kitchen. The ingredients in the following products were evaluated in a series of excellent posts found on FoodRenegade.com. We hope you will find them helpful in learning to decode food labels.

In conclusion, any time you are confused about food labels just remember less is always more and only buy items with ingredients you can pronounce.
