Novi, Mich. —  Three free health seminars are slated for Novi-area residents in the coming days...
 

Food Labels and Popular Misconceptions will be presented on Tuesday, October 25th from 7 -8:30 p.m. at the Novi Public Library. Does zero Transfat on the label mean that there is no Transfat in your food? What do the words “Fat Free” or “Organic” imply and what do they really mean on labels? There are messages on the front, sides and back of almost every food product available for purchase. Deciphering these labels may seem easy, but the more you know the better off you will be in your choices.
