Most Parents Confused by Nutritional Labeling
Make sure you're not one of them! Read labels carefully. Please note a few facts, too: the RDA of each vitamin is the minimum amount you require per day to stave off serious deficiency, NOT the maximum amount you need, nor the amount for optimum health. Even so, a product only needs to have 10% of the RDA to claim "Good source of X!" on the label. There is also concern over what is "natural" -- some consider high fructose corn syrup natural because it came from corn (even though it has been highly processed since then). Bottom line: don't believe flashy claims on the front of the box, and if it has ingredients you don't recognize and can't pronounce, don't buy it.
