There are many different aspects to getting ripped and staying in shape, and diet is a major factor. No matter how much a person works out, if they aren't eating the right things then they will not see the results they want. One important skill involved in eating healthily is understanding food labels. Recently, a nutrition expert from the University of Alberta says it time for nutritional information on the backs of many food labels should change.
According to nutritionist Spencer Procter, natural trans fats produced by animals are different from the kind of trans fat that has garnered so much negative attention in the past few years, and food labels should acknowledge that.
"A change in how trans fat information is presented on nutrition labels would be a huge step forward," said Proctor. "Right now, in Canada and the U.S., a substantial portion of natural trans fats content is included in the nutrition label trans fats calculation, which is misleading for the consumer. We need a reset in our approach to reflect what the new science is telling us."
This change could help people better understand what they are putting into their bodies, which is the first step toward a healthier lifestyle.
