Food Labels: "The Blacklist"

     
       Today's post is a short one, just giving some advice on what should raise a red flag in your mind, when looking at food ingredients. It's safe to say that most everyone who looks at this blog is familiar with the big players on a food label; protein, carbohydrates and fats. Going a little further, many readers are probably educated on what types of fats are good or bad, is sodium too high or what is an acceptable amount of cholesterol.
        Below is a short list, bringing to light some names you should definitely stay away from when purchasing food. These guys can be found in the ingredients section and they're my absolute don'ts....put them on the Blacklist!

The Blacklist:

  • High - Fructose Corn Syrup
  • Xylitol
  • Fructose
  • Any Color Followed by a Number (Red5, Blue7)
  • Sorbitol
  • Gelatin
  • Erythritol
  • Hydrogenated Soybean, Cottonseed, Vegetable & Canola Oil
