hey guys dr. Berg here listen I had

another request about how to read a

label how do I read labels so I’m going

to do a quick little video and just scan

through very quickly of what I focus on

when I read labels I have my staff bring

in a lot of their food which they

consider totally healthy we’re just

going to dissect it and take a peek so

let’s go right to it so I’m going to go

through some of these foods here’s some

chicken right here so the first thing

that I’m going to look at is the sugars

this is one gram okay that’s cool and

ingredients chicken breast meat water

seasoning dextra that’s the synthetic

sugar I don’t like that one okay so they

got dealt a black pepper crushed pepper

garlic onions I’m getting multi dextran

I don’t like that soy sauce who knows

what’s what’s in that soy another soy

sauce dextran sounds a lot of kind of

additional sugars but this is cool

because it’s like one gram of sugar so

you know I may eat it I don’t know but I

had my staff bring all their food in

they wanted me to evaluate it so let’s

now talk about bacon okay so we got

bacon here and here’s some bacon the

first ingredient is pork water sea salt

cane sugar cultured celery extract spice

extract okay so it does have sugar in it

but look at it a zero sugar so it must

be less than one gram that’s pretty good

I like that let’s take a look at this

sugar free dry rub uncured pork bacon

endorsed by paleo okay so no antibiotics

okay that’s cool

let’s see in the back Sugar’s zero so we

got pork sea salt spices black pepper or

feta gray nutmeg white pepper mace

allspice okay so this is this is good

this is good

I mean I would like it if it was organic

but still this is low sugar so this

would be cooked good

let’s go this year we got organic now

look at the trailer it says organic

vegetarian diet feed like that’s

something special like would it be like

animal feed but with a sheet like what

would they do if it wasn’t vegetarian

diet feed but the point is that they’re

probably feeding the animal that the

turkey some corn and soy but the good

thing about this is if it’s organic that

means it’s non-gmo feed so that’s a plus

point no growth hormones added well I

like that

free-range which actually means nothing

this is organic turkey breast and sea

salt so this would be totally totally

fine okay salad dressings okay Bragg’s

this is the one that you got to read the

first thing I look at is the sugars this

is four grams of sugar so I higher than

I would like with two tablespoons that’s

actually I try to find one that’s a lot

lower but this is what I want to look at

mainly in the dressings what kind of oil

so this is outside of vinegar purified

water Organic mango purity that’s where

the sugars coming from organic rice

starch I don’t like that that’s probably

a thickener apple juice concentrate I’m

just scanning there’s a lot of different

juices in here okay so it doesn’t have

soy oil or corn oil or canola that’s

cool

so this would be totally fine unless you

try to lose weight which it has the

sugar so I probably would try to find

another one that doesn’t have the sugars

but the point is that you want to look

for one without the soy oil okay

mustard yellow mustard is is pretty safe

forgot distilled vinegar mustard seed

salt American spices perfect this is not

a problem when I look for fishes fish

not fishes fish the first thing I’m

looking at is wild-caught I will not

consume farm-raised so while caught is

the best cod salmon so that’s what I’m

going to do with that

now as far as soy I’m sorry sour cream

dairy what I’ll do is I’ll I want to

look to make sure that it’s organic

because again you have this cow that is

fed soy and corn that’s GML so if it’s

organic cream it’s non-gmo so that’s

cool so this is all organic so this

would be totally fine

great sour cream okay let’s look at the

Heinz organic tomato ketchup well at

least it’s organic that’s good right but

if we look at the sugars it is four

grams of sugar but look at the serving

size one tablespoon so that’s like four

grams per tablespoon that’s a lot of

sugar and you can see it’s from organic

let’s say King now organic sugar so it

doesn’t say it’s from cane sugar so it’s

probably from beet sugar or something

like that but who knows what when it’s

from but I mean this is better than

regular ketchup but still it’s too much

sugar okay mayonnaise is another one

that I want to talk about from Trader

Joe’s and they have these at the health

food store the cool thing is this brand

mayonnaise has safflower oil egg yolks

water lemon juice - still vinegar salt

organic sugar they have the sugar in

there

mustard black pepper citric acid most of

these mayonnaise has sort of soil but

let’s look at how many sugars zero grams

so this is very very small amount so

this would be fine to consume so this is

thank goodness that someone’s producing

non-gm L a low sugar mayonnaise now get

to the cheese we got the cheddar cheese

right here the good thing from cows not

treated with rBST that’s a hormone okay

that’s cool but the other thing is that

because it’s not organic that means that

these cows were probably fed soybean and

corn that’s GMO so that but they’re not

added adding hormones so I would not

this cheese okay because of that shot

because they are exposed to a lot of

that now here’s a Trader Joe’s has a lot

of different great cheeses from other

parts of the world and here’s an organic

cheese that’s pasture raised that’s

that’s the key word is pasture raised

that’s what I want so this would be a

good cheese I’m not going to look at

sugar in the cheese I mean let’s see if

we could see if there’s any sugar in

here

probably not let’s see sodium protein it

doesn’t even count e carbs zero zero

carbs yeah so you know it’s worried

about that this is totally good this is

another one that’s pasture raised carry

goal they have the butter as well from

Ireland I like this there are certain

types times in the year that they do use

a little bit of grain but for the most

part they use agrestic cows I like to

choose I feel really good on this cheese

when I consume it okay and let’s see

this is a product called true whip so

it’s B natural

no hydrogenated oils so okay we’re going

to look at the sugars two grams per

serving sides which is two teaspoons if

you notice that mainly I look at sugars

that’s like the main thing I’m looking

at I will look at carbs as well and

deduct the fiber to get the net carb if

there’s some food that like I’m trying

to look at but this one has zero fiber

so let’s see what this with types of

sugars they got the water tapioca syrup

I don’t like tapioca syrup palm kernel

oil I like that cane sugar units they’re

adding a couple different sugars there

tapioca starch soy yeah I don’t really

like this the sugars are kind of low but

still I would prefer a different type

okay now this here is sunflower seed

roasted it’s kind of like they they

grind this down instead of peanut butter

they have the sunflower seeds I do like

this a lot

just safflower oil peanut oil

and sunflower seeds and salt I love it

yeah this would be totally fine

this would be great as a kind of a your

fat yeah okay let’s see the pickles

now the pickles a lot of times they put

that hidden sugar so let’s let’s take a

look

cucumbers brine water distilled white

vinegar salt garlic dill grape leaves

this is perfect it has zero sugars a lot

of these pickles have sugar but this one

is totally fine yeah this would be

really good to consume right here so I

just wanted to kind of go through a

couple labels just to give you an idea

of what I look at when I read a label I

constantly labels so make sure it’s very

low sugars from organic wild-caught

grass-fed pasture-raised

that’s very important and and then also

with the dairy just make sure if you’re

going to do dairy make sure it’s organic

okay so put your comments below
