You try to make good food choices, but, too often, the nutritional labels are confusing instead of helpful. Now, thanks to Diane Manning, there’s a way to decipher them.
Manning, who suffered for years with a digestive illness that could be controlled only through diet, created Labelwatch.com, a site with nutritional data for over 25,000 different products. The products are divided by category (from Baby Food to Soda & Drinks), and can be sorted in several ways. Unfamiliar ingredients are color-coded (green for “beneficial,” orange for “okay,” red for “cautionary”) and indexed. Click on one, and you’ll have more information about it than you’ll ever need.
