Do we really know what is in the food we eat if we havn’t read the labels? Some products might sound healthy, but have colored artificial ingredients.
Make no assumptions of the foods you buy. Companies are very smart about using words that entice the shopper in what sounds wholesome and “natural”.
Years of being bombarded by advertisements make even the most trusting of people somewhat skeptical when it comes to consumer products. However, hardened shoppers will often take a leap of faith when purchasing food and other consumer goods. For example, when a person sees a name like “Yoplait Go-Gurt Strawberry Splash” or “Fruity Cheerios” it is not unreasonable for him or her to assume that these products contain at least a trace amount of fruit. According to a report released by the Prevention Institute, these products are just two examples of food items that contain no fruit.
