I think it is very important to recognize that there are some BRILLIANT people in the label and marketing industry that are SO good at what they do, they confuse consumers into thinking they are healthy. Most people who THINK they are buying WHOLE GRAIN are really buying something with just the tiniest, if any, smidgeon of whole grain. Its NUTS.
The following are REFINED GRAINS (which causes WEIGHT GAIN!!) You will see these in ingredient labels:
Durum Semolina Flour
-Semolina Flour
-Unbleached Durum Semolina Flour
-Enriched Flour
-Unbleached Wheat Flour
-Wheat Flour
-Unbleached Flour
-Corn Flour
-Rice Flour
– Made with whole grain
(usually means a very small amount)
Some of those may be surprising -but STAY away if you are trying to trim down your WAISTLINE!!!!!
Have any of these false claims been frustrating to you? Do any seem like false advertising to you? Do you get frustrated by labeling tactics?
we were talking about that in my nutrition class, and it is frustrating. Marketing cheaper bread making it look healthy. what is there to hide? its really a crime. tricking the majority of the population just to get more money. whats more important, health or money?
