  • If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

    For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

    Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

    Example:
    A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

    IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
  • According to the USDA, every man woman and child in the US consumes approximately 80 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!

    That works out to 25 tsp of sugars per day, or 400 extra calories!
  • Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages as part of their preparation. They do not include naturally occurring sugars found in milk and fruits. Table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are examples of added sugars.

    Honey and maple syrup are also "added sugars" when added to food products. Per the FDA, they are not considered added sugars when sold as single ingredient products. However, at Fooducate we still consider them added sugars because they are basically the same as table sugar in terms of nutrition.

    The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance.

    For women: 100 calories (25 grams, 6 tsp per day)
    For men: 150 calories (37 grams, 9 tsp per day)

    The FDA is more "generous", the Daily Value for added sugars is 200 calories (50 grams, 12 tsp per day).

    Here at Fooducate, we suggest sticking to the stricter option (only 25 grams per day for women, 37 grams for men).
  • The package size is small enough for people to consume as a single portion. The actual serving size and nutrition information relate to a single serving. But this package contains more than one serving. Beware!
  • Once upon a time, there were no food colorings.

    Then folks figured out that food looks better and sells more when it can be enlivened through dyes. For most of food history, the dyes were from natural sources – beet juice for red, turmeric for yellow,etc…

    However, in the quest to increase color intensity and lower manufacturing costs, cheap artificial dyes were introduced to market.

    Unfortunately they pose a risk for hyperactivity in children, cancer, and allergic reactions.
