<P>How accurate is the Nutrition Facts Panel, and who decides what information goes on it? Why don't all foods have nutrition or ingredient information? How can you tell if a product is organic, non-GMO, or ethically produced? Are words such as <Q>all-natural</Q> and <Q>light</Q> on packaging meaningful or just clever marketing? This book provides clear, concise answers to these and many other questions readers may have about the labels and health claims found on food packaging. It follows a reader-friendly question-and-answer format that anticipates readers' needs and concerns. Prevalent myths and misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. Includes sections on health literacy - equipping teens and young adults with practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet.</P>
