    Food labels 'fool us’ into thinking products are healthy
    Shoppers are being misled into believing that they are buying healthy foods because of buzzwords like ‘gluten-free’ on packaging, an academic has claimed.

    Although consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to choose healthier options at the supermarket, researchers found they are often lulled into thinking food is more nutritious because of cynical marketing ploys.

    Dr Temple Northup and his team at Houston University found terms like ‘gluten-free’ , ‘natural’, ‘wholegrain’ and ‘antioxidant’ trick the brain into disregarding unhealthy ingredients.

    The best results are with a very fine, high-powered jet of water as it doesn't 'tear' the filling like a knife would.
    You learn something new every day. :)

    Before last week I had never heard of this water knife, last night I had a nightmare where I was reaching for an egg sandwich on a production line and somehow or another stuck my wrist under said fine, high powered jet of water. You owe me a nights sleep!! :)
