Part 25 of a series—things I've said here that seem worth repeating on their anniversaries, such as the following words from exactly one year ago.

"The human body requires chloride, chromium, fluoride, iodine, and molybdenum. Why, then, do virtually no food #NutritionLabels include chloride, chromium, fluoride, iodine, or molybdenum data? Breakdowns of soluble and insoluble fiber would seem very helpful too.

"I can find no credible source providing an answer. Why did those omissions apparently become standard policy in the United States and elsewhere? Perhaps I'm overlooking some rudimentary fact(s) about such things—? I wonder if any expert on the subject might notice this post.

"And I'll ask about particular essential fats and proteins another day, maybe."

For the non-diabetics that don’t understand what’s going on here:

Insulin dosing based on carb counting requires counting carbs to know how much insulin to use. If a product lists 70g of carbs but the carb heavy items are missing or sharply reduced, this means an adjustment is needed to reduce the insulin used. Using too much insulin is dangerous as it can cause hypoglycemia, possibly to a dangerous degree.

One of the challenges of an insulin using diabetic is trusting package labels.

My Cook Unity meal was supposed to contain a decent amount of tiny potatoes. It had 1 and a half. Potatoes being starchy carbs, this means there’s way less than what’s listed on the label.

I had to guess how much to reduce it.

It’s really important to label correctly and ensure the package contains what’s advertised. Getting it wrong is dangerous to some people.
