Misleading Food Labels

When trying to look after health (for example when you are trying to stick to the Anti-Candida diet) we rely on the labels of products of the items that we purchase in the shops. Unfortunately because of marketing greed not all manufacturers are honest or clear in the way they present the information on the products that they sell us.

It is not enough to trust a label that says 100% whole wheat or 90% fat free as there are allowances given to manufacturers to state things about their products that lead us to believe something different from what the product really contains.

When looking at a label, a lot of the real information is in the fine print. If you read through the ingredient list you will be able to work out if the large label is only telling a half truth.
