Isishwankathelo
Konke ukutya okuhlanganisiweyo kunye neziselo eMelika zineelebheli zokutya. Iilebheli ze- "Nutrition Facts" zinokukunceda ukuba ukhethe ukutya okrelekrele kwaye utye ukutya okusempilweni.
Ngaphambi kokuba ufunde iilebheli zokutya, kuya kufuneka wazi izinto ezimbalwa:
- Ukukhonza ubungakanani isekwe kwindlela abantu abadla ngayo basele ngexesha elinye
- Inani leenkonzo ikuxelela ukuba zingaphi ii-servings ezikwisikhongozeli. Ezinye iilebheli ziya kukunika ulwazi malunga neekhalori kunye nezondlo kuzo zombini iphakheji kunye nobungakanani benkonzo nganye. Kodwa iilebhile ezininzi zikuxelela nje olo lwazi kwisayizi nganye yokukhonza. Kuya kufuneka ucinge malunga nobungakanani benkonzo xa uthatha isigqibo sokuba ungatya okanye usele kangakanani. Umzekelo, ukuba ibhotile yejusi inee-servings ezimbini kwaye uyayisela yonke ibhotile, emva koko ufumana inani eliphindwe kabini kwinani leswekile elidweliswe kwileyibhile.
- Ipesenti yexabiso lemihla ngemihla (% DV) linani elikunceda ukuba uqonde ukuba zininzi kangakanani izakhamzimba ezisetyenziswayo. Iingcali zincoma ukuba ufumane inani elithile lezondlo ezahlukeneyo imihla ngemihla. % I-DV ikuxelela ukuba yeyiphi ipesenti yengcebiso yemihla ngemihla oyifumanayo kwinto enye yokutya. Ngale nto, unokufumanisa ukuba ukutya kuphezulu okanye kuphantsi kwisondlo: i-5% okanye ngaphantsi iphantsi, i-20% okanye ngaphezulu iphezulu.
Ulwazi olukwileyibhile yokutya lunokukunceda ubone ukuba ukutya okanye isiselo esithile kungena njani kwisidlo sakho siphela. Uluhlu lweelebheli, ngokusebenza,
- Inani leekhalori
- Amafutha, kubandakanya amanqatha ewonke, amanqatha agcweleyo, kunye namafutha athambileyo
- Icholesterol
- Isodium
- IiCarbohydrate, kubandakanya ifayibha, iswekile iyonke, kunye neswekile eyongeziweyo
- Iiprotheni
- Iivithamini kunye neMinerals
Ukutya kunye noLawulo lweziyobisi
