"The first step to good nutrition is to know the origin, processing, and contents of anything we take into our bodies" - Dr. Elson M. Haas MD
After working as a food label specialist in Canada for nearly a decade, I have made it my mission to help decode food labels for consumers from an insider’s perspective. I have seen everything from diligent companies trying to follow and abide by the written rule, to companies intentionally mislabelling their foods. Read It with a Grain of Salt provides an insider’s look into tricks of the trade used by food companies to market their products. Written in an approachable and easy-to-understand manner from the unique perspective of an industry insider, this book explains the fundamentals of food labels, provides an overview of the “grey areas” within the regulations, and exposes the top misleading components where consumers often fall victim to manipulative marketing. Empower yourself with the information you need to make more healthful and informed choices for you and your family. It will amaze and perhaps even shock you to find out how much you may not know about the foods you have been eating all your life!
