We've uncovered the truth about the products that line your supermarket's shelves.
And what we found might just surprise you.
If you want some insight into the food industry, take a stroll
through your grocery store's candy aisle. There, on the labels of such
products as Mike and Ike and Good & Plenty, you'll find what perhaps
is a surprising claim: "Fat free." However, it's completely true-these
empty-calorie junk foods are almost 100 percent sugar and processed
carbs.
You see, food manufacturers think you're stupid. In fact, their
marketing strategies rely on it. For instance, it may be that the
aforementioned candy makers are hoping you'll equate "fat free" with
"healthy" or "nonfattening"-so that you forget about all the sugar these
products contain. It's a classic bait and switch.
And the candy aisle is just the start. That's why we've scoured the
supermarket to find the secrets that food industry insiders don't want
you to know. The very ones that deep-pocketed manufacturers use to prey
on your expectations, your wallet, and most important, your health. Call
it the Eat This, Not That! crib sheet for helping you to beat Big Food
at its own game-and eat healthier for life.
