Read the Labels!

Since I have to watch what I eat I learned to read the labels of practically everything that I ate, including supplements. Having a history of candida, I avoid sugar.  Its amazing how sugar is used in so many things.  Sugar goes under many names including dextrose, mannose, dextrin, sucrose, glucose, and fructose.  Also, I noticed that liquid supplements often contain alcohol, which is also bad for candida patients. I've had doctors give me supplements that contained alcohol, yellow and red dye, yeast, and carnuba wax which is used in car wax.  The point is that you should simply read the labels for yourself before eating a new food or trying a new supplement, and don't just take anyone's word for it.
