Summary: Health endorsements on food labels are meant to be there to help us but are they really killing us instead? Here in Australia there has been a recent issue surrounding health endorsements on food labels and more specifically the Heart Foundations tick of approval. Whether you're in Australia, the US or somewhere else in the world, this issue applies to you because the same thing occurs and there are lessons to be learned here.

Here's an interesting snippet from the Heart Foundation website. Notice that they say the products they approve are not suitable for people with heart disease or nay other disease! Yep, they say that, yet they contradct themselves with their purpose. Are they serving their purpose? No, I don't think so!
