And with all the organic, and natural products out there for grabs, we assume we have won this battle. Sadly, that’s not the case. Check out the secret behind those food labels and what is actually making those calories score.

Most so called organic products aren’t organic at all. You make have labels that proclaim “all natural” and even “organic” but don’t trust them. They’re merely buzzwords right now that help the product fly off the shelves like hot cake.

Crackers

Most people are under the impression that crackers are really healthy for you but the reality is very different. Crackers are usually made of refined grains and have little to no nutritional value. Eating the average cracker is equivalent to eating a cookie.

Many ingredients can be hidden under the blanket term of “natural flavouring” irrespective of whether they are natural or synthetic. Make sure that you understand that there can be unlisted ingredients besides those you can see on the label before you buy anything.

Read the labels carefully to ensure that you stay healthy and happy.
