Food scientist Topher McNeil helps you cut through the noise on food packaging by breaking down what all 368 words on a package of store-bought bread really mean. Topher shows you what info is worth honing in on, if there are any red flags to look out for, and what’s just good old fashioned marketing lingo.
All unopened bread loaves were donated to our local food bank, City Harvest in New York City.

I really like this video. I feel like a lot of videos that go over ingredients and labels like this tend to scaremonger a lot over even vaguely scientific-sounding ingredients (Insider’s Food Wars is particularly guilty of this), so I’m glad they got an actual expert to say what you should be worried about and what you shouldn’t.

in europe manufacturers have to put nutrition facts per 100g. letting you instantly get an intuitive understanding of percentages. if it has 12g sugar pr 100g of product you know it's 12% sugar. and you can decide whether or not you have a problem with that. and you can compare 2 different products that have different arbitrary serving sizes.

Fantastic! More of Topher and this as a series, please. Cereals would be great for the next few episodes... from Oatmeal and Cream of Wheat to various flakes, puffs, and granolas, then on the the weirdly and brightly colors ones. Also, more of the science... What is an amino acid, how do they group together to form a protein, and what that protein actually means for the body? What is a vitamin and what does it do in the body? ETC...

@@maestreiluminati87 that’s not fully why they’ve lobby to keep it off the package. If people knew how low their daily intake of sugar was actually supposed to be, and compared it to how much sugar is in every single product they eat then they would complain about sugar being in every product like it is. By keeping Americans in the dark they’re free to continue to add sugar like they currently do.
@DezaRay24
@DezaRay24 Рік тому
@@maestreiluminati87 like take lucky charms for instance one cup of lucky charms has 12g or 24% your daily intake of sugar. The AHA recommends that children ages 2 to 18 should limit their added sugar consumption to less than six teaspoons (25 grams) per day. So just in breakfast alone they’ve halfway maxed out there daily intake of sugar just in one bowl of cereal. They haven’t had lunch, dinner, snacks, or Naturally occurring sugars. That’s why they keep it off the labels.

Also by FDA regulations: if the ingredient has no purpose and exists in an insignificant amounts (usually less than 2%) in the final product and is not an identified allergen, it does not need to be declared. Usually, these would be sub ingredients of an ingredient, which though had a purpose in the ingredient, once added to the final batch loses its effectiveness. It prevents the final ingredient statement from being excessively lengthy.

It didn't really address the issues, though. It isn't about the gmos themselves being bad, but about what surrounds that. Patenting food is ethically kind of iffy and it results in some things people don't want to support (most notably legal stuff for the farmers and issues with crosspollination). Also people are sometimes worried about the stronger pesticides and herbicides that are used with some gmos.

As someone with stomach issues I pay very close attention to nutritional labels and within the last month or so they have started adding barley to almost every brand of commercially available bread. It used to just being some breads but now it’s literally an every bread in the aisle. I don’t know why if this is to offset yeast or to save money on flour, but it is incredibly frustrating since I can’t eat barley. I literally cannot find white bread. I have to make my own white bread at home and it’s not the same. This is extremely frustrating they shouldn’t be allowed to do that! If you also have stomach problems watch your labels because they’re getting cheap and cutting corners, lots of ingredients in products are changing right now!
