Our government resists regulating labelling and deceptive labelling is more the norm than the exception. Regulations are seldom enforced or inspected. Many of our foods contain harmful substances that are banned in other countries, but our government asked our food producers to voluntarily comply. The producers of our food have greater loyalties to their stock holders than to the recipients of the food that will increase the likelihood of disease and rob you of quality of life!
Our food producers are word smiths and anytime you read a food label you are trusting that the information it contains is accurate, but this is not always the case. Further, even if the information is accurate it may be intentionally misleading. Here are some of the top deceptive terms to watch out for.
