Consumers, it seems, are trying to shop for healthier foods, and they're easily fooled by "all natural" claims, even though the vast majority of food products sporting such claims are anything but natural. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate claims of "all natural." They might claim to, but in reality, they don't. Food companies can get away with using all sorts of non-natural processes and chemical ingredients in a food product that they claim is all natural. For example, foods fried at high temperatures, resulting in the formation of cancer-causing acrylamides, are routinely labeled "all natural" in the snack section of the grocery store. ]]> http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/30/all-natural-foods/feed/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/30/how-do-you-know-which-sweet-corn-is-genetically-modified/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/30/how-do-you-know-which-sweet-corn-is-genetically-modified/#comments Sat, 30 Aug 2008 13:27:10 +0000 Jeff http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/?p=448 http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/30/how-do-you-know-which-sweet-corn-is-genetically-modified/feed/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/29/fda-declares-bisphenol-a-plastics-chemical-safe-enough-for-babies-to-drink/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/29/fda-declares-bisphenol-a-plastics-chemical-safe-enough-for-babies-to-drink/#comments Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:48:21 +0000 Jeff http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/?p=447 http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/29/fda-declares-bisphenol-a-plastics-chemical-safe-enough-for-babies-to-drink/feed/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/28/low-cholesterol-increases-cancer-and-death-risk/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/28/low-cholesterol-increases-cancer-and-death-risk/#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:28:30 +0000 Jeff http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/?p=446 http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/28/low-cholesterol-increases-cancer-and-death-risk/feed/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/27/appetite-for-profit-free-downloadable-ebook/ http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/27/appetite-for-profit-free-downloadable-ebook/#comments Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:00:58 +0000 Jeff http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/?p=445 http://naturalcommunitiesmag.com/2008/08/27/appetite-for-profit-free-downloadable-ebook/feed/
