Email Story to a Friend June 13, 2006 Tips for your next grocery shopping trip Los Angeles Times People who want to eat healthfully need to eat less, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and go easy on junk food. They should remember that their diet over time — not day to day — is what matters. Marion Nestle's latest book offers many tips for making choices in the grocery store, such as: Look at calories and serving sizes on food labels. Most companies keep serving sizes small, so calorie counts are deceptively low. On ingredient lists, sugar comes in many forms, such as high fructose corn syrup, brown sugar, fructose, honey and dextrose. The more pulp left in juice, the better, because nutrients stick to the fiber in the pulp. Don't go nuts on healthful oils. All oils, even healthful ones such as olive or canola, contain 120 calories a tablespoon. Don't overload on beef or you'll get too much fat. Most Americans are getting plenty of protein. If you want more healthful foods, look for packages with short ingredient lists. You don't need to pay a premium for brown eggs. Nutritionally, they are no different from white eggs. Get used to drinking water. It has no sugar or calories. Treat soda like a dessert.
