If the label says “light,” is the product low-cal? The word “light” could mean fewer cal ories, but it could also mean a “light” color, texture or flavor. Only the nutrition label will re veal whether a “light” product has fewer calories than a similar product without a claim. Are foods labeled “natural” better for you? The word “natu ral” is often associated with pure, simple, safe, or nutritious. But le gally, the term is not defined and can be used by advertisers in many different ways. The excep tion is poultry and meat, which to be labeled “natural” must not contain any artificial ingredient or chemical preservative and must be either fresh or minimally processed. To make sure a “natu ral” product is what you expect, read the nutrition and ingredient information. Is a vegetable oil carrying a “no cholesterol” claim healthier than one without the claim? Cho lesterol is found only in products of animal origin. No food prod ucts derived from plants contain cholesterol, so there is no choles terol in any vegetable oil. Is a product sweetened with honey healthier than one with sugar? Your body can’t tell the difference between honey and sugar. Once they are digested, they are chemically identical. Al though honey is no more nutri tious than sugar, some people may prefer the taste of honey. If you answered these ques tions correctly, consider yourself a smart shopper. g 8’ J D Windmill Reg *l4 9r Special *l2s** + Shipping Rock Springs Hardware 800-858-0288 B HI
