[:es]Aprende a comprar yogur[:en]Learn how to buy yogurt[:]
Si crees lo que dice la etiqueta por la parte de alfrente de un producto y lo que dicen los anuncios en los medios, siéntate primero antes de seguir leyendo. Lo que importa es lo que dice la etiqueta por detrás. Los que trabajan en mercadeo y los de «branding» pueden hacer maravillas para hacer que un producto se vea bonito y que un artista famoso te diga lo bueno que será para ti una vez lo compres.
¡No les hagas caso! Ve directo a la etiqueta por detrás. Si quieres yogur porque es un producto fermentado, o porque te ayuda a ir al baño, entonces mira bien. Fíjate que en el ejemplo que incluyo, la primera marca tiene como segundo ingrediente azúcar y luego le sigue el agua y por fin, el «food starch». Suéltalo, déjalo y no vuelvas a escuchar a quien te dijo que este producto es bueno para tu salud. ¡No lo es! Lo único que tiene son ingredientes adictivos, que causan inflamación y promueven infecciones.
If you believe what the label says on the front of a product, and what ads and commercials in the media say, sit down before you continue reading. What really matters is the information written on the label on the back of the product. Those who work in marketing and branding do wonders to make a product look like it is healthy and even have famous artists telling you how this product will change your life once you buy it.
Do not pay attention! Go directly to the label on the back. If you want yogurt because it is a fermented product or because it helps you go to the bathroom, then read the back label. Pay attention to the example in the picture, the first brand has sugar as its second ingredient, followed by water and then food starch. Do not touch it, leave it and do not listen to whomever told you this product is good for your health. It is not! The only thing it has are addictive ingredients, that cause inflammation and promote infections.
Now look at the ingredients in Fage brand, milk and probiotics. That is it. Get used to looking at the nutritional label and read the ingredients. If you find within the first five ingredients, sugar, modified corn starch, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, partially hydrogenated oil, natural flavors, do not buy it. Opt for natural foods that are not processed. You will be better off. Do you want to learn more about how to choose products in the supermarket?
