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 agree! I have a friend who has been poisoned by aspartame (artificial sweetener) and now only has to consume a tiny amount to be affected with seizures and psychotic behaviour...but the labels use numbers 950,951 in tiny printing which is hard to read in good light, almost impossible to read most of the time. The big print says 'no added sugar' which sound healthy but for my friend it is very dangerous!
