I'm betting most would have the neurotoxin called MSG (621) or similar. What about the level of trans fats? It's the trans fats that oxidises the LDL and makes it harmful...until the LDL is oxidised it is not harmful. Then are likely to be other unlisted chemicals that provide us with the taste punch we love so much....and increase the cravings/addiction. Sigh! It's back to carrot sticks and home made dip.

Eating potato chips is a habit, obviously a strong one. If one has weight or sodium problems, potato chips are not a healthy choice. Suggest to accompany your sandwich or whatever with carrots, celery or tomatoe slices. Make this suggestion your habit. Most of us know what is good for us and what is not.

Keep in mind that advertising and web sites must comply with FDA labeling rules, whether you agree with them or not. If everyone used their own criteria for "healthy," the word would mean nothing (kind of like it is now). …they’re also loaded with sodium.

I'm a nutritionist and a fan of the Kettle Brand Bakes (especially BBQ)... which was chosen by www.winningfoods.com back in 2003 for its nutrition and taste.
