food labellings...ahem
so i have been following labeling closely with a parent on a strict diet control. she has BP so salt intake has to be reduced, she has diabetes, here sugar consumption has to be regulated and she also has to lose weight, so lesser the saturated fats, the better.
and the dietician and every nutritionist out there goes, get brown bread...yeah wheat bread, rather than white bread for breakfast. so i get this britannia bread, premium bake it says, says whole wheat bread...
but what the heck then is wheat flour doing in it?..especially if whole wheat flour is already in it. nowhere does it say whats the percentage. for all i would know, the whole wheat flour could but like 0.5% with 99.5% wheat flour...$@%$%#^*&
add to that there is hydrogenated oils and fats which contribute heavily to saturated unhealthy fats...hmmmmm...yeah it has salt and sugar too...wish they would say how much sugars and how much sodium...either in grams or milligrams.
each bread slice weighs anywhere between 30 to 40 grams. so the above label is for say 2.5 slices. nowhere does it say how much is 100 grams :)...serving size?
oh well...another brand for tomorrow..
