結構センシティブなエリアだし、まあどこまで本当かわからないけれど、こういう考えもあるということで。
All Natural
The FDA has yet to define "all natural," so companies can slap it on anything from potato chips to corn oil, even if preservatives or genetically modified ingredients were used.
FDAが未だ"All Natural"が何であるかを法定化していないんで、実質なんでも"All Natural"と表示できるんだそう。まるで無意味。
Zero Trans Fats
There's a lovely sneaky clause that allows food companies to weasel in up to 0.5 grams of trans fat, and still market it as containing "zero" trans fats.
"Zero"と"0"は違うという話。"Zero"だと0.5グラム未満は添加可能。Nutrition Factsのトランス脂肪酸のこうでちゃんと"0"を確認すること。
Sugar-Free & No Sugar Added
Too bad products claiming they're sugar-free or have "no sugar added" are generally loaded with non-natural artificial sweeteners or man-made (manipulated) sugar alcohols, which can wreak havoc on a sensitive digestive system.
「砂糖」は加えてないけれど、人工甘味料（消化系をぶち壊す可能性のある）で代用している。
High-Protein
Too many calories overall, and you can kiss that buff shape goodbye; too much protein, and your kidneys can go into overdrive.
カロリー摂り過ぎになりがち。それに腎臓に負担。必要なタンパク質は通常の食事で摂取可能。
High-Fiber
Added "functional" fibers like chicory root fiber, polydextrose, and oat fiber don't necessarily have the same impact as naturally occurring fiber in foods, and may cause bloating and gas.
加工された繊維は自然の繊維と同じ効果を生じるとは限らない。しばしば膨満感・おなら・ゲップの原因に。
Low-Carb
Most of these items however, contain high amounts of artificial sweeteners and/or processed sources of fiber--which isn't exactly health-minded.
炭水化物を減らす代わりに人口甘味料・繊維を足してるらしい。その影響は上記参照。
Gluten-Free
What these products aren't free of, however, are calories, and they often contain quite a lot of them. If you don't have a specific condition, like Celiac, going gluten-free doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose weight.
グルテンでアレルギーになる人がいるので、"Gluten-Free"表示は法律で定められている。ただし必ずしもグルテンがないからといって低カロリーというわけではなく、減量に向くとは限らない。
この後、"Organic", "Fat-Free", "Omega 3's"と続くけれど、どうも10件にするため無理やり付け足した感があるので省略。
