FDA AUTHORIZES NEW CORONARY HEART DISEASE HEALTH CLAIM FOR PLANT STEROL AND PLANT STANOL ESTERS

The FDA has authorized use of labeling health claims about the role of plant sterol or plant stanol esters in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) for foods or supplements containing these substances. This interim final rule is based on FDA's conclusion that plant sterol esters and plant stanol esters may reduce the risk of CHD by lowering blood cholesterol levels.

Plant sterols are present in small quantities in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, and other plant sources.

Foods that carry the claim must also meet the requirements for low saturated fat and low cholesterol, and must also contain no more than 13 grams of total fat per serving .  In addition, except for dietary supplements, the food must contain at least 10% of the RDI for vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, protein, or fiber.

Scientific studies show that 1.3 grams (1300 mg) per day of plant sterol in the diet are needed to show a significant cholesterol lowering effect.

In order to qualify for this health claim, a food must contain at least 0.65 grams (650 mg) of plant sterol esters per serving.. . . The FDA is issuing this rule as an interim final rule. It is effective immediately. . ..

Fat vs. Fit

LOSING WEIGHT CAN MAKE YOU FAT

LOSING FAT CAN MAKE YOU FIT

(If you weighed 290 lbs.,

would anyone think you were fat?)

Arm & Hammer Label

Walmart

ARM & HAMMER   $7.46  

DIRECTIONS: Measure with scoop.   

*Contains 80 loads as measured to line 1 on scoop

It SAYS “80 loads” on the front label – but on the back it says you only get 80 loads if you only measure to line1 on the scoop.  Can you even see line 1? 

When you fill up the scoop to do a full wash load, you’re only getting about 23 wash loads – (unless you typically add a little more just for good measure)

That’s 32 cents per wash load!  By the time you’ve done 96 full loads, you would spend just about $31.00!! 

Melapower gives you 96 wash loads for only 18 cents per load- which includes doorstep delivery

Tide and Arm & Hammer pollute, contain known carcinogens, & are highly alkaline which damages your clothing.

Tide Label

Walmart  $10.94 Was: $11.90   Tide 2x Ultra, Clean Breeze, 100 fl oz

DIRECTIONS: Measure with cap

....use more for heavily soiled loads. 

* Contains 64 loads as measured To line 1 on cap.

It SAYS “64 loads” on the front label – but on the back it says you only get 64 loads if you only measure to line1 on the cap.  Can you even see line 1?  That’s the whole idea!   It’s the big scam!  They don’t want you to see it!  When you fill up the cap to do a full wash load, you’re only getting about 21 wash loads – (unless you typically add a little more just for good measure)

That’s 52 cents per wash load!  By the time you’ve done 96 full loads, you would spend just about $50.00!! 

Melapower gives you 96 wash loads for only 18 cents per load- which includes doorstep delivery! 

($16.00 plus 49 cents shipping (based on an order of 8 products), plus 80 cents handling, so you’re paying $17.29 for 96 loads instead of $50 for 96 loads from Tide.
