I was confused at first with the labeling natural. What does that mean and is it the same as organic. The answer is, it is not the same as something labeled organic. A company who wants to use the natural food label does not have to go through the rigorous verification that a farmer who is growing organic food must go through.
Be sure to read the label thoroughly. You may be surprised to see partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients. If you don't remember the problems with these ingredients got back and read my post on October 13, 08. You also might want to review my posting on September 6, 08 about hydrogenated oil.
Remember that high fructose corn syrup is a chemically processed dextrose from corn. It isn't just pressed out of the corn.
My words are to use care and read the label of foods marked as "Natural."
