Instruction

1. Treat with care such goods as ice cream, croutons, chips, chocolate, margarine, confectionery, condensed milk, cheese, a desi, spread. Researches of these products showed that in them the content of the cured palm oil is the highest. Palm oil - the cheapest of vegetable oils in the world market, at the same time some products of its hardening are alien to a human body (for example, a bottom them break up only at a temperature over 40 wasps).

2. Pay attention to labels of a traditional dairy products: producers oblige to change the name of a product if in its preparation the vegetable fat was used. For example, cheese is called by a "cheese product", processed cheese - "product cheese fused", cottage cheese - "cheese" or "a cottage cheese product", "cottage cheese". Instead of "sour cream"" on the label there will be "a sour cream product", "sour cream", a condensed milk is called "condensed milk", "the dairy product condensed", a desi - "light oil".

3. Look narrowly at the label of ice cream: there can be a brand of the ice cream loved since childhood, but there will be no word "ice cream". It means that in a product the maintenance of vegetable fats is high, and it is forbidden to call it ice cream. If its contents is small (to 50%), then "ice cream" will stand on the label, and in this case to avoid the use of such fats for 100%, it is necessary to look narrowly at structure of a product. As a part of "a frozen product" it is possible to meet: "ice cream with the combined composition of raw materials", "ice cream with a vegetable fat".

4. Choosing a desi, look narrowly at the name and structure of a product. Light oil call a product with use of vegetable fats, the maintenance of a vegetable fat is specified in structure. A situation with spreads - more certain as the legislation established the maximum contents in them such fats - up to 70%, as for margarine, here restrictions isn't present, and it can consist for 100% of a plant raw material.
