Health guidelines in USA require listing of fat in terms of calories, whereas the rest of the world records fat as in terms of percentage.
To get to percent calories from fat requires shoppers to stand there with a calculator and transform this useless piece of caloric information into a percentage fat per food.
Watch this video to see who a world-wide brand product which displays on the label as 99% fat free, is in fact an astonishing 67% fat.
Jeff Novick of the Pritikin Center [ex Kraft Foods] outlines the 3 easy steps you MUST know if you ever buy foods at any supermarket or “health” food store.
What he reveals is on of the dirtiest kept secrets on how major food corporations consistently and purposely deceive consumers.
It’s certainly no accident labels are so confusing! No wonder obesity is increasing!!! With so many dieters using low-fat diets – and still gaining weight – its no wonder we are all confused.
Most so called low fat foods are not low fat at all. If they are – its probably because they are higher in sugar than their ‘standard’ products.
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.
Note: This video 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.

What an eye opening video. I had already stirred clear of these fat free products, but this gives the reason you need too.
Thanks for adding it here.
