Top of the Heap

Ingredients are listed on the Nutrition Facts label in descending order by quantity. If something appears at the end of the list, there is not very much of it in your food. Before you rush for those bran muffins because the label says they contain flaxseeds, read the nutrition label. If flaxseeds are listed last, leave the muffins. Skip the muffins entirely and buy a bag of flaxseeds to add to your dishes.
