I wanted to go back to basics for this episode and discuss one of the first problems I learned about in my younger years. The FDA has had a history of loose laws around the labeling of our foods, and as one might imagine, corporate incentives have motivated companies to take advantages of those loopholes. Things like "All Natural", "Heart healthy", or "Superfoods" on labels often tend to give people incorrect assumptions about those particular products and what they contain. I decided to take a deeper dive into our Public Medical database and see what kind of information had been presented by doctors and scientists on the matter, and I was not surprised to find that it is a very defunct subject that needs much attention if we want to make our society a healthier place both physically, and mentally.
