The ingredients list found on the back or side panel of every
commercially available food product - with few exceptions -

were provided with confusing, sometimes counterproductive
information with respect to carbohydrates and fats.

You wouldn't judge a book by its cover, would you?You would want
to open the book and read part of it to get a better idea about
what is going on, right?Well, judging a book by its cover is what
happens when you look at LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and decide
that this is the only - or even the best indicator of heart
disease.Worse yet, you are told you MUST lower your LDL
cholesterol level.
The key to better health is learning the difference between
healthy and unhealthy nutrients. The choices we make greatly
affect our health.
