On the back of Mueller's "America's Favorite Noodle," "Old Fashioned Wide Egg Noodles" (served to our kids tonight with Paleo chicken and greens). I am transcribing exactly what's on the back of the package using their language and caps.
"A GOOD CARB:
Did you know that noodles are really a GOOD CARB? NOODLES have only a moderate effect on blood glucose levels, unlike other starches such as white bread, rice and potatoes, which means NOODLES are not as readily converted into sugar. NOODLES are low on the Glycemic Index--and low GI Foods are digested more slowly, stay the digestive system longer, and help to naturally satisfy hunger! So, eating a delicious meal that includes NOODLES can truly be one of your more healthful alternatives. Eat lower GI foods as a more healthful alternative!"
There is also information "nutrition facts" showing calories per serving, along with cholesterol (65 mg), sodium (15 mg), total carbs (40g), protein (8g).
So, how would an uninformed consumer go about analyzing the info on this label? (Go for it, Matt B...I can HEAR you chomping at the bit to answer this!!!!)
