摘要：Fat consumption in the United
States is one of the most
closely watched and frequently
reported on aspects of our diet. The
concern with fat intake is clearly
reflected in the nutrient content
claims on the labels of new food
products recently introduced on the
market. Beginning in 1992, the number
of new products making claims
of ¡°reduced/low fat¡± exceeded similar
claims about calorie content.
Between 1993 and 1996, the number
of new products making claims of
¡°reduced/low fat¡± exceeded the
combined number of claims about
calories, sugar, cholesterol, salt,
fiber, or calcium content. Even this
sharp contrast understates the
emphasis on fat content, since a new
product may carry more than one
nutrient claim.
