Why do chips and puffs rate so low?
Chips and puffs rate low even if they don't contain the typical "red flags" in food, such as artificial colors or trans fats. Chips and puffs generally have little nutritional value for the amount of fat and sodium they carry.

Natural flavors added. Learn why
Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers.People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.

More on Potato Chips
Potato chips don't have to be a daily ritual with your lunch sandwich. However, if you do buy them for occasional consumption, choose potato chips that have been minimally processed. Buy single serve 1 oz. bags of chips so that you won't be tempted to eat more than one serving at a time.As junk food goes, potato chips need only 3 ingredients (potatoes, oil, salt) and are considered by some nutritionists the lesser of savory evils.

Contains trans-fats! Even if label says 0!
Consumption of food containing trans-fat has unequivocally been shown to increase the risk of heart disease by raising levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), and lowering levels of HDL (good cholesterol).Why do the nutrition labels on some products say that there are no trans fats? Unfortunately there is an FDA loop hole here. If the amount of trans-fat in a product is less than half a gram per serving, manufacturers can round it down to 0.But even 0.49 grams of trans-fat is bad for you. And don't even get us started on the actual consumption versus the tiny serving size.So how do you know if a product does have trans fat in it? Look for "partially hydrogenated" oils and fats in the ingredient list.
