Comments on: Low Fat Meals that Aren’t.

When my GP found I had high blood pressure, I was sent off to a cardiologist (who found it was perfectly normal. I put it down to my GP being an attractive woman, while the specialist was a bloke) and a nutritionist to look at how I was eating. Yeah, I could eat better, but so long as I’m not having too much take away what I eat isn’t too bad. But one thing she pointed out was salt.

A lot of the low fat meals put in a heap of salt to make up for the lack of delicious fat. 1,500 and 2,400 mg of sodium is apparently the recommended daily intake. You’re already hitting half of that with the added salt in that one meal. You get a lot of it naturally in foods already. The salt in these meals will give you a heart attack long before the fat becomes a problem.

Wow Craig the sneaky devils.
And yet, they still get the heart foundation tick?. How do they manage that one?

It makes me wonder about other food which has the tick on it now.
Thanks for opening my eyes

One of my gripes with this mass produced food is the use of numerical codes to describe additives. Foodstandards Australia has a website and a list of the codes and the actual ingredients can be downloaded.

Researching the additives can be a real opener.

Lastly, "Healthy Frozen Meals" seem as sensible as Diet Coke with added Vitamins and Minerals.

Hi Patricia.

Thanks for sharing some of your experience with us.

This quote is really interesting:

"My body also doesn't know the difference between sugar, Sugar Twin, Splenda, Sweet 'N Low or Nutrisweet. "

Wow, products with no sugar raising your blood sugar - that's interesting.

Cheers.
