The labels are not always telling the truth |

"From a food science perspective, it is difficult to define a food product that is 'natural' because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the product of the earth. That said, FDA has not developed for the definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives. However, the agency has not !--object--ed to the use of the term if the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances."
This long quotation is from the FDA website. I received an e-mail that my favorite juice product from the Whole Food stores is unable to label itself 'all natural' because the product contains Fibersol-2( a soluble corn fiber that acts as a low-calorie bulking agent), fructooligosaccharides(an alternative sweetener), and genetically modified soy. The product name is 'Naked' from Pepsi. I was so shocked because I truly believed when I purchased a bit pricy 'Naked' juice that I was investing for my health at least. The class action suit filed for Pepsi resulted in taking off the term 'all-natural' from its label. The company said the FDA term was unclear for the definition 'Natural'. I wonder how many other brands juice products which carry the label 'all-natural' would be 100% genuinely price and health-worthy.

Good pick, Alberta , thanks for sharing your mindset & yes agree with you , even I wonder many a times. You would be surprised to know that one of the vegetarian Maggi noodle which I have been eating for years thinking it is good for vegetarians like me , I recently discovered that it has traces of fish. By now its too late. the label on noodle pack says 100% vegetarian.
