(36:00) Many products use marketing tactics that are misleading but still fall within legal limits. (38:00) Turn the package over and look at the "Nutrition Facts"; however, those numbers can be tweaked and may misrepresent the packaged food. (39:30) Vinnie and Anna give the breakdown. The truth lies in the actual Ingredients list. Different sweeteners will be listed in a single ingredient list to avoid adding numbers to the Nutrition Facts Panel. (44:00) This practice is not limited to sugar; it also uses seed oils. Anna discusses how product ingredients are measured and scaled up.
