food packaging is more or less a part of advertising. as such, it may not offer consumers the whole and true picture about what the seller wants them to buy and eat. if nothing else, food packaging can be, entertaining. since its aim is to catch the attention of customers and make them want to buy the product, it&rsquos often engraved with all sorts of fascinating claims. however, the question is, are they real the answer is &lsquogenerally not&rsquo. in most of the times, they&rsquore just marketing gimmicks to tempt the consumers. for example, consider sexcereal. yes, you read it correct. the packaging is one big implication designed to catch peoples&rsquo attention. for men and women, there are separate versions, with little different ingredients which claim to stimulate the appropriate hormones. the text of both formulations, which are packed with the newest trendy superfoods, look rather tasty, but in reality, there is a doubt that customers eating the cereals will turn into the macho guy or buxom young lady on the labels. there are the meaningless words on cans and boxes. in general, people inclined to buy the stuff that claims it is natural. according to the canadian food inspection agency, &ldquonatural&rdquo has a vague and complex definition. specifically speaking, &ldquonatural&rdquo foods don&rsquot have any artificial ingredients. however, the question is, does that make them good for your health one thing should be kept in mind that, cyanide is 100 natural, and among other places, it&rsquos found in peach pits. what most important is, it can make a person very, very dead. salmonella is an extremely unfriendly, but completely natural, bacterium. the term &lsquonatural&rsquo does not simply means &lsquohealthy&rsquo. for instance, salt is totally natural, but not terribly healthy. even if, the product contains truly healthy ingredients, that don&rsquot necessarily mean that people blindly intake the product. for instance, a vegetable drink claims it has 2 servings of veggies for per 8 ounce glass &ndash and it is true. however, it is equally true that it also contain more a quarter of the daily recommended quantity of sodium in the same glass, which means that a consumer probably should not drink a lot of it, specifically if has a problem of high blood pressure. any chef will tell that fat equals flavor. foods that announce &ldquolow in fat&rdquo have to substitute the flavor somehow, and it&rsquos often by drastically increasing the salt or sugar content. some manufacturers add strange gels to imitate the mouth feel of fat. by just reading the list of ingredients, can&rsquot always tell the full degree of the damage. producers describe sugar in so many ways. it is possible to describe it as sugar, and fructose fruit sugar, and sucrose, high fructose corn syrup hfcs and infinite other multisyllable terms, which all mean the same thing &ndash the stuff is being sweetened to reimburse the missing fat. claims of nutrient are another tricky matter. products are labeled as containing vitamins, or goodness, or omega3. it is true that they do, but in the amount that are so minute that a consumer has to eat adequate to get the required amount which can benefit the human body. furthermore, if the excess amount is consumed to get the intended quantity of those nutrients, it can have an adverse impact on health. now, what a consumer can do to avoid being a victim of the false claims printed on the packaging ignore. a consumer should not blindly believe on the claims made and find out what are the ingredient and their quantity in that food. the good choice is to make an informed decision. source of information httpwww.theloop.canewsallconsumernewsconsumerblogarticlea1678814misleadingf…
