What to Look For on the Food Label

If it says mono something, I'm gonna put it back. What am I looking for in the label? This is where one of the most important things that I think can move the needle for kids and teens health, to really propel them to be the most well and empowered young adults as possible, is to teach them how to read food labels like a gut hero. That's, like the number one thing, because it is not realistic for most kids, teenagers, young adults, to never, ever buy any packaged foods. So what you want to look for Carrageenan, xanthan gum, carboxymethylcellulose, or cmc? Mono and diglycerides are also very common. Now, I don't expect people to have this list memorized in their head, but once you start reading food labels and you just have that visual memory of, oh, if it says mono something, I'm going to put it back.
