Americans still confused by food labels

According to a poll published by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, almost all of the participants had difficulty with at least some of the labels.

Many had trouble understanding serving sizes and completing simple calculations. In particular, those with chronic illnesses where understanding labels might be particulary important, actually had a harder time reading labels than other people.

Steve - this is why it is crucial to have a nutritionist/dietitian that can trust to sort out the details with you.
