The Nutrition Facts label, which is by law placed on the back of just about every food product in the U.S., was meant to tell you most everything you should need to know about what a particular food product is made of. The problem for most Americans, however, is that 1.) they don't read it and 2.) they don't know what it all means. This is where the nutrition professional can help a great deal. Not only do we teach our clients and patients what each part of the label means and why it is important, we can educate them on how to interpret many important subtleties of the Nutrition Facts label.
One little known subtlety has to do with trans-fats. These come from hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oils. While most fatty acids are actually beneficial in the right amounts, trans fats are just plain dangerous to your health.
