This really helped with my food labels assignment, for my nutrient class. Thanks a million sweetheart
She really needs to slow down with this video. I process things very fast and talk very fast, but nothing she said was actually properly said with understandable wording….”trans fat is a biggie” really? She obviously has a lot of knowledge in this area, but is not very good relaying it in a video.
Loved this video! thumbs up before I watched you never let us down Becca! love from Ireland xx ps. love the health videos! keep em coming + would love a whats in a fridge or a healthy grocery haul or grocery shopping vlog recipe videos might be pushing it hehe love you!!!
There is zero nutritional value in this product and it contains a lot of pure cane sugar. Which is more addictive than cocaine and very unhealthy
Do not consume pasteurized milk of any kind — ever. Because once milk has been pasteurized it’s more or less “dead,” and offers little in terms of real nutritional value to anyone, whether you show signs of intolerance to the milk or not.
Valuable enzymes are destroyed, vitamins (such as A, C, B6 and B12) are diminished, fragile milk proteins are radically transformed from health nurturing to unnatural amino acid configurations that can actually worsen your health. Finally the eradication of beneficial bacteria through the pasteurization process actually ends up promoting pathogens. (In the fage. ) and you talk about nutrition. Humm.
+Becca Bristow I thought FULLY hydrogenated oils weren’t trans fats and they were ok to eat? You said no hydrogenated oils were allowed
Not being able to pronounce an ingredient isnt a very good way to tell if it’s healthy… I mean look at all the ingredients in an all-natural banana ( http://www.businessinsider.com/ingredient-list-for-natural-products-2014-1?IR=T)
Helpful video thanks for taking the time. Rarely see people reading labels at the grocery store.
I really love eating healthy and I am trying to understand nutrition fact labels
I can now read the labels on my hot fiery Cheetos before I eat it
I started looking at calories but then noticed the lower calories the higher the sodium
I whole-heartedly agree, we need to be taught these things as children in school sooo much better than we are, rather than scrambling to learn as adults. Thanks for doing your great research! And yes, life long nutrition learners:)
if one doesn’t eat enough vegetable and fruits, can centrum help with those?
also amazing eyes and overwhelming racist white teeth, overall 10/10
How does this video not have 1,000’s of likes is beyond me! You’re amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this information! <3
i want more tips!
such as what others chemical name they would replace to confuse the consumer?
I love these type of videos and this one in particular, everyone should be educated on the basics of being healthy such as knowing how to read food labels. I think this will help a lot of people!:)
I love that in Australia food labels have per 100g it makes comparing like foods so easy
This is so helpful! I love your channel. Please don’t stop making videos! Would love to see a grocery haul or watch you cook a lunch/dinner. Or a video on healthy unhealthy snacks (like healthy alternatives to popular snacks):)
This video was really informative! I honestly didn’t know what to be looking for on food labels so thanks:)))
I read the book by Dr. Joel Wallach “Dead Doctors don’t lie” (not kidding) and it was a real eye opener. Not only do you need vitamins but also minerals. The typical American diet is deficient in many minerals needed for a healthy body. He describes them all in his book. Joel says to stay away from Gluten (wheat, oats, barley, bran since they mess up your gut), processed meats and oils ( I don’t agree with the oil one) for they are not good for you and do nothing but cause inflammation. Overall you need 90 essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids to stay healthy and many you won’t find in a “normal” diet so you have to supplement. Just my two cents worth.
