The final items on the food labels are: Carbohydrates, sugar, fiber, and protein: If you are watching carbs, this is one section you’ll want to pay attention to. If these carbohydrates are simple carbs, then this is of concern. But if in the list of ingredients you see whole grains, then the number of carbohydrates in not important. A simple rule to follow: less sugar is good and more fiber is good. Foods with no fiber is not good. Protein is usually unimportant; most people get far more protein than they need. Beneficial vitamins and minerals: The nutrients listed in the lower box are critical to your health. Unless you have a medical restriction, the higher these values, the better the food is for you. The fine print. The tiny type at the bottom of most food labels tells you how the daily values were calculated and give you some information on adjusting the numbers to your own situation. It never changes, so you can safely ignore this information after you’ve read it once or twice. “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thess. 5:23)
