I've previously mentioned that the media is very good at generating buzz words and that food companies do a great job of incorporating them into their adverts. Unfortunately we can't be experts in all subject areas and often find ourselves following the mainstream in order to simplify our life and let someone else do the thinking on certain matters. This tends to happen with nutrition and this bbc news article published today addresses the "quick pick" choices that are based on food labels.
The simplest way to avoid all the advertising confusion (and to avoid ages spent reading nutritional labels), is to not buy packaged foods. If you stick to fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry/other meat, nuts, and seeds as the core of your daily nutrition you can avoid a lot of the headaches....and potential stomach aches :)
