Letter to Kraft New Zealand - 13/11/2006
---------------------------------------------------
I was very disappointed to see a packet of oreo biscuits in a store with no trans-fat labeling and with ingredients mentioning vegetable shortening.
Has Kraft not learnt from it's experience in the US?
Are kraft dumping their unwanted US products on New Zealand and Australian markets.
If the US consumers deserve proper trans-fat labeling and low trans-fat products, why is it different here?

I really like Oreo biscuits but am on a diet. However, I would like to be able to incorporate them in to my diet as the occassional 'treat', but this is difficult given there is no nutritional information on the packaging [ no calories per biscuit, etc.] In this day and age, when society expects to know what their putting into their bodies, I think this is ludicrous!! Please let me know what you or anyone else thinks, and if there is any way I might find out the nutritional value of these little gems [Or Oreo are going to lose a valuable customer!]

The best thing a sweet tooth like yourself can do is learn to bake your own sweets. Find a recipe book with great desserts, and where possible try replacing the sugar in the recipe with rapudura (unrefined sugar) or honey. And only use unrefined tropical oils or butter instead of margarines.
A little bit of dark chocolate seems to be healthy, but make sure it only contains cocoa butter, dairy butter and or shae butter. Avoid any chocolate that lists 'vegetable oil' as this is likely to mean hydrogenated oils.
The absorption of sugars can be regulated by healthy fats, so enjoy some natural whipped cream with your home-baked cakes and biscuits.
While the fat might double the calories, it will equally create more satisfaction as well as provide essential nourishment.
Remember, our bodies are designed to enjoy sugar, but only in the context of naturally occuring B vitamins and enzymes. Refined sugars and white flour require the body to dig into the vitamin reserves to produce insulin and enzymes, thus depleting these essential nutrients. |
