Hello friends, are my previous blog was knowledgeable for you?? 

If yes then, please read this blog it is more important for consumers in today's time.

For advertisement purposes, companies make claims sometimes that claims need clarification so every consumer can make healthy choices.

Fat/oil - companies claim sometimes like “this oil good for diabetes”, this oil is heat friendly, this is light oil or lite oil, the oil contains no saturated fats, cholesterol-free label, low fat or nonfat label.

Clarification - keep in mind that all oil is fat so consume in limited quantities. Plant-based oil didn't contain cholesterol anyway. Some oil can be easy to digest but all oil gives the same energy. Keep in mind that every type of oil contains some % of saturated fats. Some products marked cholesterol-free labels but always check total fats especially saturated and trans fats because they increase the cholesterol level in the body. Because our bodies synthesize cholesterol. 

Some marked low fat or nonfat labels but always check they increase the sugar, starch thickener, and refined flour for making better taste but these ingredients may lead to weight gain.

Cereals - bread that is marked by "brown bread".

Marked brown bread does not mean that bread contains whole wheat. Generally brown bread color with caramel and very low percentage of wheat flour. So always check if genuinely marked labels like “whole wheat bread”. Because the whole wheat bread marked label contains 50% of the whole wheat flour.

Sugars -  you generally see labels on sugar are "sugar-free" or "brown sugar".

People generally considered sugar free be beneficial for health and lower calories. People think that must be beneficial for diabetics and weight loss.

But keep in mind sugar-free food could be loaded full of fat and refined cereals ( refined flour, starch). And sugar can also be present in different from like maltitol, fructose, and corn syrup.

And brown sugar is generally sucrose tinted with caramel.

Always check the nutrient labels 

In the nutrition label, you can see how many calories of energy get after eating that package.

Generally, nutrition facts are based on per serving/ 100g/ 100ml, etc.

In nutrition facts, you can see the amount of energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, sugar, cholesterol, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, etc.

Always look the protein-rich food because protein is a building block of our body.😊

In my next blog, I will share some buying tips.

Stay safe, stay healthy 

Thank you
