Beware of health food labelling

Don't rely on health food labels for the fat or sugar content of the product. Here are some examples of what health food labels often say and then an explanation of what those healthy titles really mean.

image: food label Low fat            
Each serving will actually give you 3 grams of fat or less.
Fat free    
No, not exactly. Lets try less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving.
Reduced fat, less fat This is reduced by about 25% on average.
Light This varies from about half the fat of the original product to only a third of the fat.
Sugar free No, wrong again. It usually contains per serving, less than 0.5 grams of sugar.
