What ingredients to avoid on your nutrition label



You are reading your labels, right? In order to live a healthy, nutritious life, you need to read the ingredients as well as the rest of the nutrition facts.

Here is the list of ingredients, that if you find them on your label, don't buy it or throw it out!

  • Saturated Fats
  • Trans Fats (partially hydrogenated anything!)
  • Sugar (anything ending out "ous" should be avoid as much as possible)
  • High Fructose Corn Syrup
  • Non-Whole Grains (Enriched is the one to avoid. Must be 100% whole wheat or whole grain)
Try to avoid these in any way, but especially if they are in the first 5 ingredients on the label.
