“Health Food” vs. Healthy Food — How to read labels

Do you know how to read food labels? Maybe you THOUGHT you did. Truth is, you probably don’t.

But Jeff Novick, MS, RD — of the McDougall program — does. And in his full talk he shows the 3 easy steps you MUST know if you ever buy foods at any supermarket or “health” food store.

In this online excerpt, Novick — who used to be a food service manager at Kraft Foods — exposes one of the dirty secrets major food corporations use to deceive consumers. It’s no accident labels are so confusing!

High-protein/low-carb diet proponents claim that the US started eating “low-fat” foods 20 years ago and yet still gained weight, “proving” that the low-fat diet wasn’t effective.

But that’s nonsense, as Novick demonstrates in his talk.

The foods weren’t/aren’t low-fat at all. Food companies use sleight of hand to make them appear that way.

Novick shows how to cut through the nonsense of food labeling to see what you need to see, and understand what you’re really getting.

This is an excerpt from Novick’s 80-minute talk at the VegSource 2007 Healthy Lifestyle Expo, and part of a 12-part series of top health expert presentations.

In his full fascinating and entertaining presentation, Novick teachers the “three easy rules” for cutting through the b.s. and quickly understanding food labels, to know exactly what you’re getting. After watching his talk, you’ll never look at packaged food the same!

    “The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real people” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.” ~Neal Barnard

    I went to your website for colloidal silver. It is selling CS at 10 ppm (parts per million). Higher counts cost more.

    The CS I buy from “Innovative Natural Products” is 1100 ppm. Quite a difference! Mine takes very little (1/4 eyedropperful) to be kick-@ss effective.

    There’s a difference between stupidity and ignorance. These companies are trying to keep us the second of the two. You can’t blame someone for not knowing something that’s hidden from them.

    This is amazIng. I knew the food industry screws people over on the nutritional listings…I never knew about the trick with weighing their product by weight and not actual calories…which is news to me. Amazing. Keep up the great work.

    What an idiot. Different types of fat and carbon hydrates have different energy contents per gram. Saying 68% of the calories automatically means 68% of the weight is retarded. Back to grade school.
