Food Lableing

I have a problem with misleading food lables on nutrician. Why are so many foods labled as healthy when they are full of sugar. I'm diabetic and it frustrates me when I'm trying to shop for appropriate foods. For example many products contain more than 50gms of sugar per 100gms and they have the cheek to call that healthy food. What do you think?.

I always read the labels and see what exactly is in the food. There are certain levels of fat, sugar and salt that is acceptable for each serving of food, for it to be labelled 'low'. But each country is different. Check and see what your government recommends and then you can work out for yourself what is healthy. Don't always rely on the labels - its just marketing.
