Reading food labels
Either the perfect lens on reading food labels hasn’t been made yet (hint), or it’s just too complicated a subject to fit into one lens. I’m not sure which it is. anyhow, here are two lenses that do actually help, some.
The first is In your food: food additives. It discusses food additives that are in most if not all our processed foods and that aren’t helping our kids stay focused at all (to say the least).
Since the reason I was looking into this was really that I wanted to see if I needed to make a lens on hydrogenated fats, I’m glad I ran into this lens: There should be a ban on dietary partially hydrogenated fats a debate run by sara08852. As you can guess by the title, it’s a hey monkeybrain debate which deals with this issue. Hydrogenated fats are really very bad for the body. They are killing us all slowly. The body can’t do anything about them. Unlike for instance animal fats: not good for the heart, but still - the body knows what they are, and what to do with them.
What started me on this is that I found to my shock that cheap dutch bread actually had these hydrogenated oils in them. This means that even in The Netherlands (where I thought this could never be necessary) EVERYBODY SHOULD READ food labels. Not just vegetarians, or people with allergies. We all should. It’s vital for our health.
Anyhow. I think I’ve made my point
