“I’ll just eat one more…” and then before you know it … the whole package is gone.
Labels can be tricky, especially if they say something like “low calorie” or “low sugar.” These claims generally refer to individual servings. But what happens when you eat the whole package? Well, this involves some elementary math, which can add up quickly.
There are also some loopholes around trans fats and how they are labeled. It's because of this that allows companies to write "0 trans fat" on the nutrition facts panel if there are less than 0.5 grams per serving. I repeat, PER SERVING! So once again if you eat the whole thing you could unknowingly be eating trans fats.
