“Health Food” vs. Healthy Food — How to read labels
May 31st, 2007 | by health |
Do you know how to read food labels? Maybe you THOUGHT you did. Truth is, you probably don’t.
But Jeff Novick of the Pritikin Center does, and in his full talk he shows the 3 easy steps you MUST know if you ever buy foods at any supermarket or “health” food store.
In this online excerpt, Novick — who used to be a food service manager at Kraft Foods — exposes one of the dirty secrets major food corporations use to deceive consumers. It’s no accident labels are so confusing!
High-protein/low-carb diet proponents claim that the US started eating “low-fat” foods 20 years ago and yet still gained weight, “proving” that the low-fat diet wasn’t effective.
But that’s nonsense, as Novick demonstrates in his talk.
The foods weren’t/aren’t low-fat at all. Food companies use sleight of hand to make them appear that way.
Novick shows how to cut through the nonsense of food labeling to see what you need to see, and understand what you’re really getting.
This is an excerpt from Novick’s 80-minute talk at the VegSource 2007 Healthy Lifestyle Expo, and part of a 12-part series of top health expert presentations.
In his full fascinating and entertaining presentation, Novick teachers the “three easy rules” for cutting through the b.s. and quickly understanding food labels, to know exactly what you’re getting. After watching his talk, you’ll never look at packaged food the same!

I believe that it is possible to stay healthy into ripe old age and to prevent, stabilise and even perhaps to reverse, many of the chronic degenerative diseases.
Underpinning all my research and advice is this simple fact. Given the right nutrition and lifestyle, our bodies have amazing powers of self-healing and regeneration.

Oh, ok. Dr. Novick. Would anyone know how to contact him? I co-produce a tv show in Providence RI and would love to do something on this. Any contact info would be appreciated.

Percentage of fat does not matter, after all. What does is the number of grams of fat by portion.

Too bad he does not know that fat-even saturated–is not the problem. Sugar, refined carbs and transfat are the problem. also, too much omega 6 fatty acids (soy, canola) in our diets.

Very cute. But really, this stuff isnt difficult to figure out on your own, if you actually take the time to READ the labels. Seriously.

Unfortunately, Mr Novick works with Pritikin which is not vegetarian.
