Much saturated fat
Too much saturated fat raises blood cholesterol, that can increase the risk of heart disease.
This fact has been approved by most health organizations in the world.
You have to limit the intake of it by your recommended daily intake.
Ideally, we should eat less than 10% of calories from saturated fat, so the reference value for an average adult is 24 grams daily.
Remember: a 1-ounce slice of regular cheese has nearly 5 grams of saturated fat.

Salty! Has over 16% of the daily sodium max
The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium daily — twice the recommended amount amount of 2400mg for healthy adults, this is 1 teaspoon of salt.
For medical reasons many people should not exceed 1500mg of sodium.
Surprisingly, you're responsible for only 15% of the sodium in your diet the bigger part - 75% of the sodium that you consume each day comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker.
Excess sodium intake increases the risk of high blood pressure, hypernatremia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other heart problems.
Are these reasons enough to cut the sodium intake? No doubt! -
Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -
2 tsp of sugars per serving
This volume includes both naturally occurring from ingredients and specially added sugars.
USDA tells us that last years each American consumed an average 130 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!
That works out to 30 tsp of sugars per day approximately 480 extra calories!
Just to think: Eating just 200 more calories daily than your body requires for body functioning and exercise leads to a 20-pound weight gain in a year. -
High in fiber! Great More than 20% of daily needs!
Eat more fiber. You've heard it many times. But why it is so good for your health?
Dietary fiber is best known for its ability to make our digestion going right.
So want to prevent or relieve constipation - eat more fiber!
There are also other great health benefits as well, such as lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and helping to maintain a healthy weight by helping to feel you full longer.
The best source of fiber are fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes and not processed foods with added fiber. -
Interested in getting more protein?
Protein is important, but some of the protein you find in this product isn't exactly natural.
The protein comes from one of the following sources:
- milk protein concentrate
- whey protein isolate
- soy protein isolate
and that it's not ideal to get protein only from processed goods.
If you're looking for more protein, try beans, quinoa, nuts, seeds, peas and spinach & leafy greens.
Not only do they have protein, they're filled with other vitamins and minerals. -
Carrageenan is an additive made from seaweed.
It is used as a thickener in products such as ice cream, jelly, chocolate milk, infant formula, cottage cheese.
It is a vegetarian and vegan alternative to gelatin.
It has been used for hundreds of years in Ireland and China, but only made headway into modern food processing in the last 50 years.
The processing steps after harvesting the seaweed include drying, grounding, filtration, treatment with potassium hydroxide, removal of cellulose by centrifuge, concentration by evaporation, drying, and grounding.
Interestingly, the Philippines account for the vast majority of the world supply of carrageenan.
In some animal studies, carrageenan was shown to cause intestinal lacerations and tumors.
A 2001 meta-study of 45 peer-reviewed studies concluded that carrageenan consumption may result in gastrointestinal malignancy and inflammatory bowel.
The FDA has approved carrageenan as safe, basing its decision on industry funded studies.
European agencies and the World Health Organization have also deemed carrageenan safe, with the exception of infant formula.
The fear is the a baby's gut may be unable to handle the large carrageenan molecules.
In some individuals carrageenan may cause intestinal discomfort or worse. -
Contains MSG-like ingredients
People feeling reaction to MSG may also react adversely to MSG-like substances.
Glutamates or chemically similar items are added to improve a product's taste.
Here is a short list of common MSG-like substances:
- Yeast extract
- Autolyzed yeast
- Hydrolyzed proteins
- Textured proteins
- Anything "enzyme modified"
-
Sodium erythorbate, will it keep you safe?
It's a new type of additive and is a synthetic variation of ascorbic acid - Vitamin C.
It is used to keep a wide variety of foods fresh - from meats and canned fruits and vegetables to wines, jams and soft drinks.
During the process of cooking or digestion of certain processed meats, nitrites in them combine with naturally present amines and form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds, which are associated with cancer.
Sodium erythorbate (or ascorbic acid) helps to prevent the formation of these cancer-causing chemicals.
