Paul_c said:this bit on the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid did annoy me though:
Alcohol is often consumed daily. The diet contains amongst other things, less sugar, bread, cereals, root crops and rice than a traditional diabetic diet

When its available going to add a link to my new member post to that program. It is the best thing that's been on the beeb for ages. It validates all that the majority of us have been saying. Show's the whole lot, politicians, sugar industry, fast food industry and especially the low fat food industry and their snivelling sycophant supporters to be complicit in the forced addiction then murder and mutilation of millions of people. No better that Columbian drug lords and just as evil.
They only stay on iPlayer for a week...

Paul_c said:if you look carefully, they have corn syrup listed as an ingredient... isn't that the new "name" for high-fructose corn-syrup?
A common ingredient in the US, corn syrup is made by adding enzymes to corn starch, which turns it into a thick syrup of dextrose, maltose and/or glucose. It comes in two flavours – dark and light. Light corn syrup is very sweet, like golden syrup while dark corn syrup is similar in flavour to molasses. Corn syrup is used widely in the food industry for sweetening soft drinks, alcohol, ketchup and pickles

I looked at the ingredients of the Atkins Day Break Crunchy Muesli Cereal
And this is it's listed ingredients
Ingredients: 34% Soy flakes, 18% oat flakes, 13% coconut flakes, 9% Cashew nut pieces, Fibre blend (polydextrose, dextrin, fructooligosaccharide, inulin), 4% Linseed, 3% bran crisps (wheat bran, wheat flour, rice flour, sunflower oil, emulsifer (lecithin), 3% sunflower seeds, 3% almond pieces, vegetable oil, Sweeteners (isomalt, sucralose), Wheat flour, Oat bran, Barley malt, Flavouring, Salt.
Nutritional values
Nutrition information per serving of 25g (13 servings in box): 121 kCal, Protein 5.2g, Fat 7.3g of which saturates 2.7g, Carbohydrates 6.4g of which sugars 0.7g, polyols 0.2g, Dietary fibre 4.8g, Sodium 3mg. Note that if you use milk, for example 100ml, this adds 3.5g of net carbs to your carb count.
Now, you think that because they list isomalt, sucraslose as sweeteners, that these are the only one's added, but polydestrose and fructoolgosaccharide etc are also sweeteners.. so is barely malt! So it's loaded with sweeteners of various kinds... and lecithin sounds foul indeed!
So again, not safety from hidden additives! The company who claims that they have the answer to obesity, weight loss are also using the same tactics as those they claimed caused obesity in the first place!
Reading this and looking into the ingredients of their version of 'healthy foods' don't think I can buy into their other claims of 'healthy eating'
