Over 30% of daily saturated fat!
Bad! More 30% of daily saturated fat!
For years Saturated fat was claimed to raise cholesterol levels and give us heart attacks. Today different studies refute this claim. They say, that replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates or refined starch or sugar is not changing the heart disease risk. Not processed carbs nor saturated fats are good for you. Only if you replace it with polyunsaturated fat, you'll get a reduction in heart disease risk. So try to have a balanced diet. -
Salty! Has over 12% 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 -
Great! Contains less than 1.5 tsp of sugar.

Great source of fiber! More than 16% daily!
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. -
A good source of protein
For many vegans and vegetarians, it's important to get enough protein.
The product you've just scanned will provide you with 14% or more of your daily protein requirement.
If you're a vegan having trouble meeting your protein needs, try nuts and beans.
Sprinkling nuts onto any dish is a quick, easy and nutritious solution.
Try adding beans in places you might not normally eat them.
Add beans to pasta dishes, stir fries and even salads.
While meat alternatives like Tofu do provide a quick and easy protein intake, they should not be your only source of protein.
Eat proteins from a variety of sources for best results. -

Contains phosphoric acid
Phosphoric acid is used as an additive to acidify foods and beverages such as various colas and jams.
It provides them a tangy or sour taste and then, to mask and balance the acidity they add a huge amounts of sweeteners.
Remember! It’s a corrosive acid and can form toxic fumes when it comes into contact with alcohols, ketones and other organic compounds.
Phosphoric acid has been linked to lower bone density, dental erosion, risk of developing kidney disease.
BTW: The clear sodas that contained citric acid didn’t have the same risk.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: Colas, But Not Other Carbonated Beverages, Are Associated With Low Bone Mineral Density in Older Women: The Framingham Osteoporosis Study
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: Carbonated Beverages and Urinary Calcium Excretion
Epidemiology: Carbonated Beverages and Chronic Kidney Disease

Phosphoric acid has been linked to lower bone density in some epidemiological studies, including a discussion in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. -
Sodium erythorbate, will it keep you safe?
It's a new type of additive and is a synthetic variation of ascorbic acid - Vitamin C.
It is used to keep a wide variety of foods fresh - from meats and canned fruits and vegetables to wines, jams and soft drinks.
During the process of cooking or digestion of certain processed meats, nitrites in them combine with naturally present amines and form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds, which are associated with cancer.
Sodium erythorbate (or ascorbic acid) helps to prevent the formation of these cancer-causing chemicals.
