Much saturated fat
Too much saturated fat raises blood cholesterol, that can increase the risk of heart disease.
This fact has been approved by most health organizations in the world.
You have to limit the intake of it by your recommended daily intake.
Ideally, we should eat less than 10% of calories from saturated fat, so the reference value for an average adult is 24 grams daily.
Remember: a 1-ounce slice of regular cheese has nearly 5 grams of saturated fat.

Salty! Has over 28% of the daily sodium max
The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium daily — twice the recommended amount amount of 2400mg for healthy adults, this is 1 teaspoon of salt.
For medical reasons many people should not exceed 1500mg of sodium.
Surprisingly, you're responsible for only 15% of the sodium in your diet the bigger part - 75% of the sodium that you consume each day comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker.
Excess sodium intake increases the risk of high blood pressure, hypernatremia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other heart problems.
Are these reasons enough to cut the sodium intake? No doubt! -
Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -
3 tsp of sugars per serving
This volume includes both naturally occurring from ingredients and specially added sugars.
USDA tells us that last years each American consumed an average 130 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!
That works out to 30 tsp of sugars per day approximately 480 extra calories!
Just to think: Eating just 200 more calories daily than your body requires for body functioning and exercise leads to a 20-pound weight gain in a year. -
High in fiber! Great More than 20% of daily needs!
Eat more fiber. You've heard it many times. But why it is so good for your health?
Dietary fiber is best known for its ability to make our digestion going right.
So want to prevent or relieve constipation - eat more fiber!
There are also other great health benefits as well, such as lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and helping to maintain a healthy weight by helping to feel you full longer.
The best source of fiber are fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes and not processed foods with added fiber. -
Interested in getting more protein?
Protein is important, but some of the protein you find in this product isn't exactly natural.
The protein comes from one of the following sources:
- milk protein concentrate
- whey protein isolate
- soy protein isolate
and that it's not ideal to get protein only from processed goods.
If you're looking for more protein, try beans, quinoa, nuts, seeds, peas and spinach & leafy greens.
Not only do they have protein, they're filled with other vitamins and minerals. -
Contains milk protein concentrate
Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) is a white to light-cream-colored dry powder.
It is a very cheap milk byproduct of skim milk through a series of processes that includes ultrafiltration,
evaporation and drying of the milk until it reaches a powder form.
Some more info:
- Most of the MPC's are imported as a dry powder from countries with lax food safety regulations (China for example).
- MPC's are added to processed food products to increase the amount of protein without increasing the carbs.
-
Learn about veggies and iron
Veggies such as broccoli, bok choy, spinach, parsley and most leafy greens are naturally high in iron.
However, compared to other high-iron foods, like red meat, fish and poultry, the iron in plant foods is not absorbed as easily by the body. What can you do to increase the absorption of iron from these plant foods?
- Vitamin C increases the absorption - so try having a fresh tomato, lemon juice, or an orange together with your high iron food
- Avoid drinking too much coffee - caffeine can decrease the absorption of iron
- In addition to caffeine, the tannins found in tea can also reduce iron absorption
- If you are a vegetarian, try having iron-fortified breakfast cereals, legumes, and eggs
-
Contains MSG-like ingredients
People feeling reaction to MSG may also react adversely to MSG-like substances.
Glutamates or chemically similar items are added to improve a product's taste.
Here is a short list of common MSG-like substances:
- Yeast extract
- Autolyzed yeast
- Hydrolyzed proteins
- Textured proteins
- Anything "enzyme modified"
-
Product contains sulfites
Sulfites (sulphites) are inorganic salts that are used as antioxidant of food preservative or enhancer.
They may appear on food labels in various forms, such as: sulfur dioxide, potassium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite or sodium sulfite
Although sulphites do not cause a true allergic reaction, people with sensitivity to sulfites may experience similar reactions as those with food allergies.
Those who have asthma are most at risk to sulphite sensitivity.
BTW sulfites are included in the ten priority food allergens in Canada. -
Controversial additive BHT present
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) is primarily used as an antioxidant food additive, mainly to prevent oils and fats in foods from oxidizing and becoming rancid.
It is GRAS in the US, but forbidden as food additive in Japan (since 1958), Romania, Sweden, and Australia.
Some studies have shown that it is carcinogenic.
Avoid it, there are foods available without this danger.
