Food label fake-outs

It's hard to trust labels these days. One ingredient seems to outweigh the other. If it's fat-free, chances are there's somethings lurking under those shiny wrappers that's destined to make you fat. Is there hope yet? Beauty Eats identifies the four most common label cons to lookout for....

"When it comes to comfort food, has it got to be Kraft's Macaroni and Cheese? Look twice. Like many boxed food mixes, the confusing label lists two sets of nutrition stats -- and the first one is for the dry mix only. Unless you plan on eating your mac-cheese mix straight from the box, the prepared version (made with margarine and 2% milk) adds an extra 15 grams fat and 150 calories per serving to the figures on the label."
