Title: When I'm bored and eating (Two common things...)
Post by: wethepeople on February 06, 2008, 07:48:36 pm

I always, always read the label/box/can of what I'm eating.

I agree. When you memorize the label of a soup, you know its bad.

That doesn't bother me as much.  Companies like to rename things to their chemical names to keep people from knowing what's really in the food so they're less likely to try and recreate the food themselves instead of buying.  They like to list 4 different types of sugars, 3 salts, etc...

there are 4 Main types of sugars
Glucose (syn. dextrose) : a sugar found in many plants, also in blood. The main source of energy for the body. Less sweet than saccharose.
Fructose (syn. levulose, fruit sugar) : a rather sweet sugar (1,7 times as sweet as normal sugar), mainly found in fruits and honey .
Galactose : a sugar which is not normally found in foods, except as part of other sugars, such as lactose (milk sugar) and raffinose (a sugar in beans). Often part of cell wall components in plants.
Saccharose (syn. sucrose, table sugar, crystal sugar) : the official chemical name of the main type of sugar and the sugar used mainly in products and at home.

He probably just googled it.

And yeah, I also always read the labels. I don't know what all this chemical shit is, but sometimes I think it's better not to know.
