Nestle created two new units, Nestle Health Science SA and the Nestle Institute of Health Sciences, aimed at developing products that may prevent and treat ailments such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.I'm anxious to see these new "products" on the grocery store shelves and read the labels. Don't we already have the foods necessary to prevent and treat diseases? I can buy fruits and vegetables, whole grains, clean proteins, healthy fats all at my local natural grocery stores (check out the new Chuck's Produce and Street Market on Mill Plain where the old GI Joe's was, that just opened on October 7th, 2010) and at the farmer's markets during the growing season.
Maybe I'll be happily surprised. Will Nestle bring us whole grains pasta, yogurt without food dyes and chemical additives and other products with natural ingredients to help us all out as we try to feed our families well?
This is a reminder to us all not to believe what the front of the package says, but to read the ingredient list on the back label. If an ingredient listed cannot be found at the grocery store, put the item back on the shelf! It isn't real food. When Nestle's new products hits the shelves, that is what I'd be looking for.
