S11 EP12 How to Read Food Ingredient Lists That Are A Mile Long

You’re at the grocery store. You pick up a package and flip to
the back. What are you looking for? Do you know? You are worried

lists. We tell you which one is more important and what to look
out for. 


This episode is our response to those who say, “I ate like that
and look at me, I turned out just fine.” Because times have
changed and so has food! It’s well known that the US and the EU
take different stances when it comes to food safety. Want to know
what they are? We want you to leave today’s episode feeling
