Last Day Buzz Words

Here are a few more buzz words and
their meaning.

3.  Antioxidants
Antioxidants are compounds in food
that neutralize free radials.  If a product
is labeled as having high antioxidants, it has
been fortified with non naturally
occurring compounds.  These foods usually
aren't as healthy, eating a balanced diet full
of fruits, lean meats and vegetables will do
the trick.

4. Naturally Sweetened
If something is labeled as naturally sweetened
it means that agave, honey, xylitol, or stevia
may have been used to sweeten it up.  This
does not make the food any healthier for you.

5.  Low Fat
Most low fat foods are just that low in fat. 
However, fat is often replaced by sugar and
additives to boost the flavor.  Always read
the label.
