    Basically what changed since then is a bit of liberalization on eggs, dairy, & salt.

    Remember when reading food labels: The key factor is #PortionSize, which is not standardized and may be unreasonably small when compared to what people actually eat. (When was the last time you counted out twelve potato chips?!)

    After that the most important data point (IMO) is #AddedSugars (see second image). Unless you're buying something that is obviously sweet like cookies, "Added Sugars" should be close to 0%. It is surprising how many products you don't think of as sweet have lots of added sugar (pre-made spaghetti sauce comes to mind).

    Best general advice: eat diverse #wholefoods, watch portions, avoid processed carbs, avoid processed fats (like trans-fats)... and go for a nice walk! 🙂
