Myth: The nutritional label on food items and nutritional products, accurately represents the contents.

Key Info: Manufacturers shamelessly trick consumers. The FDA doesn't have the resources or the will to stop deceptive labeling, even when flagrantly fraudulent labels are brought to its attention.

The Data: Many food items exaggerate the presence of healthful ingredients as documented by a Washington, D. C. based, public interest group. According to an FDA commissioner, they have no immediate plans identify and remedy misleading labeling.

My Thoughts: In regards to food items, eat food as fresh or as close to its natural state as possible. This eliminates the need to rely on the manufacturers numbers. With nutritional products choose products, not by "label" and "price", but from the most trusted brands. Be wary of "hype" when choosing a product.
