I just read this eye-opening Food Fix Uncensored book preview from Dr. Mark Hyman (he's a doctor who fights for real health), and it got me fired up! He starts with: "What if the new “transparent” food labels weren’t designed to inform you…but to mislead you just enough to keep ultra-processed products flying off the shelves?"
