Look for 100% whole-wheat bread, and high-fiber, low-sugar cereals.<\/li>\n<li><em>Fruit drink.\u00a0<\/em>This means there&#8217;s probably little or no real fruit and a lot of sugar. Instead look for products that say &#8220;100% Fruit Juice.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><em>Made with wheat, rye, or multigrains.<\/em>\u00a0These products have very little whole grain. Look for the word &#8220;whole&#8221; before the grain to ensure that you&#8217;re getting a 100% whole-grain product.<\/li>\n<li><em>Natural.\u00a0<\/em>The manufacturer started with a natural source, but once it&#8217;s processed the food may not resemble anything natural. Look for &#8220;100% All Natural&#8221; and &#8220;No Preservatives.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><em>Organically grown, pesticide-free, or no artificial ingredients.<\/em>\u00a0Trust only labels that say &#8220;Certified Organically Grown.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><em>Sugar-free or fat-free.\u00a0<\/em>Don&#8217;t assume the product is low-calorie. The manufacturer compensated with unhealthy ingredients that don&#8217;t taste very good and, here&#8217;s the kicker, have no fewer calories than the real thing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Look at the Serving Size<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Start your label reading adventure by looking at the &#8220;serving size&#8221; printed right under &#8220;nutrition facts.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Beware of suggested serving sizes with fractions. For example,\u00a0the label on a 6-ounce can of StarKist Tuna in water says one serving is 2 ounces (drained) so you might think the can holds three servings. But because you drain off some\u00a0weight, the can actually contains 2.5 servings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Calories and Calories From Fat<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Note how many calories are in a serving and how many of those calories come from fat. Do the math if you eat less or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Nutrients by Weight and Percentage of Daily Value (%DV)<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This part of the label shows how much of each nutrient is in a single serving by weight in grams and by %DV based on a 2,000-calorie diet.<\/li>\n<li>Fats are listed as &#8220;Total Fat&#8221; and are broken down into saturated fat.<\/li>\n<li>It does not distinguish between natural sugars, such as those found in fruit, and added sugar.<\/li>\n<li>The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition says the first nutrients listed on the label &#8211;total fat,\u00a0cholesterol, and sodium &#8212; are the ones most Americans get enough of or too much of in their\u00a0diets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Vitamins and Minerals<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Vitamins and minerals are listed by %DV only. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Pay particular attention to vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. The FDA says most Americans are deficient in these.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ingredients are listed in order from the greatest amount to the least.<\/li>\n<li>Usually, the fewer the ingredients, the better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Quick Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go straight to the back and look at %DV, which is based on a 2,000 calorie diet.<\/li>\n<li>According to the FDA, you should look for nutrients you want, such as fiber, to represent 20%DV or more, and nutrients you should limit, such as fat, to represent 5% or less.<\/li>\n<li>Next look at serving size and portion accordingly. For instance, if you&#8217;ll eat twice that amount, then double the %DV numbers, or if you&#8217;ll eat half the amount, then halve the %DV numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Source:
