Show Notes

If you believe the marketing slogans printed on their packaging, light or reduced-calorie food products offer you the same enjoyment but with fewer calories. It seems like a no-brainer, right?!

In order for a product to be labelled as “light” (with either “-ght” or “-te” at the end), current rules in the UK state that it must be “at least 30% lower in one typical value (calories or fat) than that manufacturer’s standard version of the product in the same range”.

Is the taste really as similar as they say? Is it bad for our health? Should I avoid them completely? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
