In this day of Biochemical dietary hazards, it is ‘Buyer Beware’!

Here’s a quiz. You’re having pumpkin pie and you need whipped cream. You don’t have time to make real whipped cream. Do you buy a can of whipped cream, or Cool Whip Lite? Cool Whip Lite is recommended by South Beach Diet, so that must be the right choice, right?

Let’s read the labels –

Saturated Fat – 1 g 5% 0 trans fat
Total carb – 3 g 1%

Water, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil, less than two percent of sodium caseimate (from milk), natural and artificial flavor, modified food starch, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, sodium polyphosphates, beta carotene (for color)
