Because of Shameless Advertising Claims, Read Food Labels More Carefully

I hear the ad for V8 all the time. They say there’s three servings of vegetables in every bottle. (CSPI says it’s more like two but who’s counting.) But it also contains half of your daily allocation of sodium. You can buy the low sodium version in the supermarket but you rarely find it in the local delicatessen.

And did you know when a product days “whole grain” it doesn’t mean “100% whole grain”?
