If a sugar-free cookie tastes too good to be true, there could be a reason. That cookie may not be sugar-free at all—even if the "nutrition facts" label says so. In these days of epidemic obesity, diligent consumers are reading the nutrition labels on packaged foods, but apparently they're the only ones doing so regularly. Although Congress has forced food manufacturers to place nutrition facts labels on their products since 1990, the Food and Drug Administration doesn't have enough staff to check labels' accuracy. So where does that leave a consumer? Too often, in the dark.
