Summary
Food companies are skilled in marketing products to consumers, often using buzzwords and attractive packaging to give the impression of healthiness. The key to understanding what we are eating lies in the "ingredients" section of the nutrition facts panel, where the order of ingredients matters, common names for sugar and salt should be recognized, and products with fewer ingredients are generally better for health.
