Thank you CBC for continuously doing Health Canada's job.
The Canadian government isn’t looking after Canadian citizens as much as it is multinational corporations!!!
Also, Canadian citizens should start behaving more like responsible adults (the adults anyway), and stop expecting things to be spoon-fed to us all the time. There is a level of personal accountability that isn't being reached around here!
This is one of the best investigative information shows in Canada 🇨🇦 The topics are always current and relevant.
@@Dracoool do you not understand Mathematics? That is the only way you could define them as dishonest... They post all of the odds... So unless you don't understand what the odds are? Or do you think our government controls the lottery to literally LIE and STEAL? Either way, my advice, DONT play the lottery. Learn how to play blackjack if you want any hopes of winning regularly.
@@Dracoool You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads!
I have always read ingredients on labels. It's also a reason I do not like going to restaurants. You have no idea how much sugar they are adding to sauces, dips, aioli to make it taste great.
Yhh depends on which type of restaurant. If it's a fine dining restaurant, people simply looking for a meal for dinner, or restaurant serving higher class citizens and known for their sublime dishes.... then the last thing on their mind is considering amount of sugars and fats being used to prepare dishes. Certainly not fast food restaurants, they depend on artificial ingredients to make their famous meals.
If you want to dine at restaurants that considering the ingredients used in preparing meals, then you need to find niche options,
What do you do when out with friends and family
@@sharinaross1865 stick to as simple of meal as possible. For example, a burger or steak.
These meals tend to be less saucey and have a lower chance of being sweetened unknowingly.
The fancier the meal is, you can assume they've added "special" stuff to enrich the flavor - salt or sugar.
Not saying every restaurant does this, but there is a high chance.
@@johnnybyup for a number of years I would dine alone and date myself. Which I really like. That lull between lunch and dinner is a great experience for myself.
there ultimately is no short cuts to proper nutrition. We just have to accept that we will need to put more effort into eating if we want to be healthy. Eat whole foods and combine foods yourself made at home.
EXACTLY! Fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken, eggs etc. NOT PROCESSED TRASH! In the summer we grow a vegetable garden, we have fruit trees, backyard chickens for eggs, etc. All about choices!
My sentiment exactly! At the end where the guy says, they should make it easier to recognize what the healthy options are, it just makes me shake my head. We do have access to information that let's us know what the healthy options are, but the marketing that we are bombarded with on a daily basis is speaking against all of it, and trying to convince people that there is a short-cut, when there really isn't!
Hahahah take a look on the people who consume those who ever went to school knows that from fruit we can expect sugar 😅
1. Look ONLY at the ingredients list and the table at the back. The front is exactly what it spells... A FRONT!
2. Really? How can Vector put the protein content of a DIFFERENT PRODUCT in the packaging? How is this legal? So I can sell you a bag of white sugar, write "50g of protein in every serving", then, in small lettering, at the back, write "when adding 2 servings of protein powder to 1 tsp of sugar"?
I am always pointing out the questionable ingredients to friends and family-they look at me in disbelief.
True. And it's pathetic.
I know how that feels.
I wish canada would madate easier name conventions on all labels. I'm not a biochemist.
Sorry, they can't protect you from yourself. You've no excuse for lacking simple basic food knowledge. Why do you think that is? And no, you don't need to be a "biochemist". LOL!
Eat healthy fresh fruits, vegetables, chicken, eggs etc. and you never have to even think about this 🤷♂️😁
*Rule of thumb:* anything that is processed or comes in a package is NOT healthy.
Woa dude... Like... I'm just wondering... Why do we call it "rule of thumb"?
I do assume you eat protein powder :P
But ya, you right bro
It ends with the HS student saying 'I'm a high school student, not a food scientist.' The fact that this student had to think about that is disturbing. That's exactly where Big Food wins the battle.
I knew to check the two info labels and never trust the front, it is just an ad. I want to know, are Vector’s vitamins claims real?
As a graphic designer, you have no idea how many of these are out there... make sure to read the fine prints
Or stick to fresh fruit, vegetables, chicken, eggs etc. and you won't have to worry about any of this! 😁
You would be better off eating the package the stuff comes in.
There's so many kids things with more sugar then a can of pop. It's actually less sugar to give your kids 2 cookies instead of a bear paw...
I recently picked up a veggie drink about the size of my hand and it had 53grams of sugar. That's like 2 chocolate bars !!
Any one whose surprised should do a better job when they shop. You can't get away from sugar. Sugar is almost in everything I'm not surprised one bit by the deceptive labels.
yep, most soups have sugar too
I automatically assume processed-packaged foods constantly use misleading advertising.
@@garyholt8315 people should cook from scratch instead, its the only way to know what you are eating
Yes and you should know that 4g is equal to 1 teaspoon
Carrots and bananas have sugar. I've heard diabetics have to limit them.
Always look at the list of ingredients. If you don't know what most are, don't buy
Are just do a quick google search ot them?
That why i stick with sardines
the more ingredients the worse. take a look at the ingredients in Swanson hungry man dinners, absolute horror !!!!!!!!+++++
look at the serving size too, many are very small, sneaky tactic ! eg bicks sauerkraut 2 tbsp serving 🧐
If there are ingredients in it, dont buy it. Natural products are ingredients themselves.
Can we start with the retail stores??? Whole Foods for example likes to say they will only carry this or that kind of product because of where it's sourced, how it's made, what's in it etc. Other retailers need to do the same and agree not to sell poison.
I was always skeptical about the enormous spin on products. I really have to wonder if they fudge the nitruitional values too. health canada seem too timid to rock the boat and looks the other way. anyone else notice this ????
Companies can make money and can make a change without being sneaky with the consumer
Thank you for this video!!
Cbc marketplace Should do a piece about why airport food is so expensive
95% of workout supplements look like this.
Don't eat any processed foods.
Shop the outside isles of the grocery store as much as possible
Can you do an investigation on over priced produce and what happens when it sits there and starts rotting and going bad where does it go?garbage?and if so why wouldn't they sell it for less and it's a win win for the buyer and seller?
they had imperfect fruit, but that has disappeared, why ?
Always thought the vector one shouldn't be allowed
Love these videos. Many people do not know.
Oh wow so Welch's fruit snack saying real fruit but no fiber??
Not gonna lie, the best part of eating more fibre is the gas. Remember those ads in the back of comic books: "Amaze and amuse your friends?" My toots amaze those in my vacinity and they amuse (me) as well.
Canadian food labels are like American food labels - look at the ingredients!
The problem is, they don't know what the words mean.
@@JohnDoe-xv1se True. That’s why we have phones to look those words up.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
I used to eat Fiber one but realized it wasn't that much different from regular chocolate brownie bars.
Why eat anything that comes in a box from a factory. Eat food that comes directly from nature.
Helpful l’information, thank you for this video.
It’s not cereal, it’s a meal replacement. Seriously??
Sugar and added starch 🤢
I see a bunch of people that did not learn how to read in school. Nothing presented that was not on the labels. The labels may be a bit shady, but everything in life is out to get you. Wise up.
What you mean ?
And what you mean about "nothing presented...." ??
Plus, Marketplace has done multiple investigations like this.
These are "adults" that still expect their mom to wipe their @ss.
Well you could say the same of all the 1000 word TOS for every app you install but how many people read through every word.
@@originalunoriginal4055 If people read the labels they would find out those foods in the video aren't healthy
Precisely! The companies that responded weren't wrong when they said they were following Health Canada's guidelines/rules. The problem is that people don't bother to read labels, don't understand what the labels mean and/or are buying too many products that require a label at all (ie not whole or minimally processed foods).
Why does the South Asian kid sound like Elmo?! 😂
How did they get Lustig?
The Bolthouse Farms is tasty and will hydrate you to keep you 'regular'. I'm sure you could drink more of this than plain water at one time. There must be vitamin C in it! Of course if it's a lot more expensive than water and water is just as good drink water. If you need calories you need more than water and if you need vitamins there must be added vitamins in the product.
The sugar destroys any benefit
@PunkPineapple Yes it does, and NOT slightly. There's no way they can get the drink that sweet just from fruit, it's no different than drinking any sugary drink except a bit of vitamins, minerals which are negated by all that sugar and much more expensive.
I like Canada they are truthful and catching the cheaters
Well, I like CBC Marketplace anyway. Not all of Canada is truthful, though (especially Politicians). But yes I love CBC's Marketplace and have for years! I agree!!
HAHAH, yes live in your dreamland
The longer the ingredient list is, the worse it is. Pretty much any processed and ultra-processed foods. Eat the real thing if you want the benefits.
Remember, minerals are not sensitive to heat so the minerals in the fruit can still be in that fruit juice. It probably has antioxidants, etc. Is it as good as fresh fruit? I don't think so. Is it healthy, besides the high sugar content? Yes it is. No, I don't work for any of those companies. I just know a lot about nutrition and science. These television shows like to create shock so they push the truth somewhat to meet their nerratives, just like the main-stream media.
Im truly surprised that "healthy" people even eat cereal.
Why? Grains, milk... What's wrong?
Exactly. At the end of the day, there really isn't any such thing as a 'healthy breakfast cereal'.
We Canadians don't want to eat bugs and crickets.
Swimmer girl says to the food companies: do a better job,
No: people need to educate themselves.
Who still believe that processed foods are healthy anyway? Anything with sugar and added fruits and veggies are a snack. People like to fool themselves: eat the damn natural fruits and veggies and an occasional snack as a treat! But who wants to change habits? It,s good for Marketplace, they can keep doing programs like these with different products every year. The lousy labels series will go far.
I see some 🦖🏊♂️🏊🏻♀️🟡🔴 in the background
why does the truth have to ruin everything?
🤫🙊❤️😀🎉👍🔥
Capitalism at it's finest.
Money over health. They found a loophole in the system, which includes. ...stating it was based on relying on data from a trusted scientific and market research organizations. And put the blame on that.
As a result trading standards department will give maximum sanction.. which is " please recall all your products, and please don't do it again".
Actually the Marxists promote carbohydrates because they claim it helps with “climate change"
Thanks. We need more education. Most kids never eat a fruit or vegetable
Meals on ,Wheels for elderly advertised as hand prepared in local kitchen is just reheated commercial slop. I longed for a sweet potato, spinach, orange. Your body knows. I got anorexic instead of healthy food
What you mean by Meals on Wheels?
And anorexic due to what?
No one craves for spinach, sweet potato and oranges.
A service for home bound srs who get one meal M-F delivered by volunteers
Volunteers are great but good is inedible for the most part. Think of prison food. Never anything g
Homemade pr fresh so you do long for a salad apple recognizable protein etc
Even the milk smelled bad
Under Capitalism - Profit is THE ONLY Motive, hence the miss leading marketing.
"Who don't want fiber to get things moving"- she absolutely discredited herself after this phrase.
.... Why? Fiber is good for your bowels.
@@000snow000 it's awful for your gut. I
@@jumper4ever937 fiber is essential, actually. Unless you specifically meant inulin? In which case, I think you misunderstood her; she was speaking as a consumer thinking fiber is good and not knowing about different sources of fiber.
I'd like to caution people from putting too much faith in Robert Lustig. He's got some suspiciously unfounded beliefs about sugars, and a few of the things he said right at the start are a bit silly.
What unfounded beliefs? I'm genuinely curious to know because I admire Lustig's work.
Thats why I just buy my 12 family size Lay's potatoes chips, 6 oreos and 6 Ritz bitz.
