Understanding what the information contained on a food label means can be confusing.
Learn how to make sense of the food label at a free lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, at Oro Valley Hospital.
"Peeling Back Food Labels" is the topic of the next Commit To Be Fit lecture. Registered dietitian Deannea Tanner discusses serving size, calories, protein, fat and the breakdown of various carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals during a step-by-step guide through each section of the food label.
In addition, Tanner is sharing how the listing of ingredients on a food label should be interpreted, and what types of food are recommended for a varied and healthy diet.
The public is invited to the free lecture at 7 p.m. Sept. 3 at Oro Valley Hospital, 1551 East Tangerine Road.
