So before we get into the specifics, how is the new nutrition label different from the old one . The new nutrition label that were proposing will align the information with the latest scientific information. The other thing that we want to do is give it a fresh look by emphasizing some of the key points in the nutrition facts label, such as serving size and calories. Okay, so theres a lot of information. Can you break down what we should be looking for . Lets start with why serving size is important. Serving size is actually very important in the nutrition facts label. As we already know, one packet or one box is not always one serving, so it might contain multiple servings. Its very important for us to know how many servings are in each box or in a packet of food. How about calories . Whats important about the number of calories . Calories are very important. There are a few numbers that i do want you all to remember when youre looking at calories. 40 and 100 and 400. 40 is low, 100 is moderate, and 400 is high. Whenever youre looking at the nutrition facts label, please look at the calories and see. If its close to 40, then you know its low in calories. Around 100 its moderate and 400, its high. So should we be eating things that have a moderate number of calories . We should definitely try to keep around the moderate number and not get close to the high calorie number which is 400. The label groups together the items we should be careful to not eat too much of, right . Absolutely, there are some nutrients we dont want to get too much of. Those nutrients are certain fats like trans fats, saturated fats, cholesterol, as well as sodium and sugars. What kinds of things should we eat more of . The nutrients to get more of are fiber, vitamins a and c, iron, and calcium. What is a dv and why is it important . So dv is a daily value and youll see on the nutrition facts label you have a percent dv for all of our nutrients. 5 is a low percent dv and 20 is high. What i mean by that is when you know that you should get more of certain nutrients, you should try to aim to get a higher percent dv which is close to 20. Now lets talk about the list of ingredients. What should we look for there . The list of ingredients in the nutrition facts label, they are in the order of whats most of in the product. You really need to Pay Attention to the list of ingredients because if you have sugar thats first or second in the list, then you know that the sugar is high in that product. And sometimes youre not sure its a sugar. What are some other words for sugar that we should watch out for . Yes, there are many different names for sugar. The most common ones are glucose and fructose, but then theres maltose and dextrose. Theres lots of different names for sugars. One quick way of knowing if its a sugar, is if the word ends with an ose. But not all sugars end with an ose, for example corn syrup. Thanks for taking the time to explain all this to us. Thank you very much for having me. Since we started this report with an old saying, heres another one, its about computers. If you put garbage in, youll just get garbage back out. The same is true about food. If we want to be at our best, we need to avoid eating the stuff thats not good for us. One way to do that, read the labels.

A popular saying in his say was that the sun never sets on the british empire. Neither is this. Even though i was assured his statue was in the square, i couldnt find it. Do you think they take statues away for cleaning . Exasperated, i googled him and discovered that his statue is here after all. In fact it was one of the first that i looked at, except that the name on the base isnt disraeli, but his official title of earl of beaconsfield, so he was here after all. The reason why i wanted to find him was because hes famous for making one of the most devastating insults of all time. Disraeli was once asked, whats the difference between misfortune and disaster .
