- Hey Jake, take a look at this!
- What is it, Jean?
- Look at this popcorn that I got!
- Hmm, let's see...It does look good, but...
- What are you looking at?
- The nutrition label. This is so bad for you!
- What is wrong with it?
- Well, first of all, it has trans fats.
- Why are trans fats bad?
- Trans fats lower your HDL cholesterol and increase your LDL cholesterol.
- In the long term, this may build up in your arteries and cause many problems.
- I understand. Anything else?
- Yes. The nutrition label also says that most of the calories come from fats.
- Is that a bad thing?
- While fats are necessary, they must be balanced with other nutrients such as carbs and proteins.
- And how can I understand this while I'm looking for food?
- Just like I did. Learn how to read nutrition labels!
- Hmm... does the nutrition label give any other details?
- Yes! It tells you the ingredients on top of telling how much of what nutrition the food has.
- I know about the ingredients section, but I guess I never paid mind to it.
- I don't think about it too much either, but if you had an allergy or intolerance, it would be your best friend!
- So what is the most important to look at?
- Well, make sure it has none or very low trans fats. They are not healthy. You also want your food to have things like vitamins and minerals.
- I understand. Thank you for all the information!
- Any time! Just ask me if you have any other questions.
