Does your food come from a farm, or from a laboratory?
Even if you try to eat healthy, it can be an uphill battle. Many of the items on supermarket shelves are chock-full of additives, preservatives, flavorings, colorings, fillers and artificial adulterants.
Does this matter? Yes and more than you know.
It turns out that what you eat is the single most potent weapon you have in the battle against disease. With obesity rates and chronic illness in America higher than ever, and with health care now exceeding 20% of US GDP, the struggle for real, healthy food is not only important. It's crucial.
Conscious that consumers care more and more about the health impacts of what they eat, many companies are trying to respond. But sometimes, their response is more about deceptive marketing than about your health.
Part of their strategy includes making misleading claims on packages.
