Why food labels matter

Just because a product says “healthy” doesn’t mean it is.

Many foods labeled as natural, keto, or organic are still loaded with:

  • Seed oils, like soybean and canola—highly refined and inflammatory
  • Refined sugars, often hiding under names like maltodextrin or corn syrup
  • Ultra-processed carbs, stripped of nutrients and packed with additives

The Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter helps you cut through the noise. One quick scan shows you what’s really inside.
