824-Lanc»»ttr Fanning, Saturday, October 12, 1991 What You Should Know About WASHINGTON, D.C. Most Americans agree that good health includes a balanced diet and good nutrition. Studies show that it’s wise to cut down on saturated fats, sodium, sugar and cholesterol. Including high-fiber cereals, grains, fruits and vegetables in our diets may help us stay healthier and slimmer. Recently, grocery stores have begun posting nutritional informa tion in produce departments, and at meat and fish counters. These signs, as well as preparation tips, are part of the stepped-up effort by the federal government to educate people about the foods we eat. In addition, reading the labels helps shoppers make informed decisions about packaged foods. But food labels are often mislead ing and confusing. Remember those vegetable oils that used to be advertised “No Cholesterol,” even though oils by nature are 100% fat? How about those fruit juices that used to be labeled “Fresh” even though they are actually made from concentrate? Closer examination of nutrition labels often turns up unexpected con- u HAPPENINGS York Co.

So how can we figure out what foods are really good for us? To respond tto this confusion, the U.S. Food and Drug Admi nistration (FDA) has begun put ting pressure on food processors to clarify misleading food labels, including claims of no cholesterol, reduced calories, very low sodium, low-fat and “light” made by some manufacturers. Last May, for example, FDA ordered three food manufacturers to remove “no cholesterol” from their labels on bottles of high-fat com oil and canola oil. The FDA found the labels deceptive for two reasons. First, all plant oils are cholesterol-free anyway (dietary cholesterol is mainly found only in meats, some seafood and dairy products). Second, some people may get the impression that “no cholesterol” is the same as “no fat,” which is not the case. Let’s consider fats for a moment. Most people should obtain less than 30% of their total calories per day from fat Here’s help in making that calculation. Food labels list fat in grams per serving, and there are nine calories in each gram. If your total calorie intake for the day is 1,800: 30% x 1,800 = 540 calories from fat 540 calories + 9 = 60 grams of fat maximum To calculate the percentage of calories from fat in an individual serving, simply multiply the num ber of fat grams by nine (or 10, for an approximate number). The resulting number represents the calories from fat per saving for that product For example, a ven ding machine package of crackers with a cheese filling contains 170 calories and six grams of fat. Doesn’t sound like a lot does it? But six grams at 9 calories a gram works out to 54 calories from fat or over 30% calories from fat for that single item. A piece of low-fat fruit or a non-fat yogurt might be a wiser choice for weight and fat watchers. FDA is also working on new standardized requirements for food labels, which may include adjectives (such as low, medium or high) to describe levels of nutri ents, and a new visual “look.” Although FDA is considering eight new designs for the labels, all will list basic nutrition infor mation. Many consumer groups think the nutrition information should include more precise mea surements of calories derived ADAMSTOWN EQUIPMENT INC.

Congress is backing up die FDA with the Nutritional Labeling and Education Act, which was passed last fall, and requires that the new labels be in place by 1993. Still on the horizon for food labeling regulators are standar dized definitions of descriptions such as low-fat high-fiber and light. Also favored are more rea listic serving sizes fra 1 foods. In the past some manufacturers used serving size to keep calories or sodium levels low, i.e., the bag of chips that lists a “serving” as seven chips or the ice cream car ton that lists a serving size as three onces.

These changes in food labeling should help all of us make wiser decisions about the kinds of foods we choose for ourselves and our families. But selecting healthy foods is only one part of the equa tion. Preparation is another. Steaming, baking, broiling and poaching are the health-conscious ways to cook delicious foods. Unfortunately, sauteing in butter or frying in oil adds unwanted fat and calories to otherwise healthy dishes. And don’t forget to supple ment a sensible diet with a routine of appropriate exercise to be assured of the best results for building and maintaining good health.
