It is not certain to use the same. One can use any legit font family. Condensed fonts can also be used. Of six-point type and all the necessary nutrient information should be in approx.
More than eight points. The main section is divided by three horizontal lines and no compulsion in using varying thickness size. The size of type text should not be lesser than six points, and that of uppercase text should not be more than 0.
FDA provides a detailed example of each format in the table. Some of its details are listed below:. For some food items, RACC is changed. First, find new values and then mention it. The Nutritional Facts are also mentioned in more than one language.
Other than English, any regional language can also be used for labeling the packaged food item in agreement with Many times the storage container of a food item is not created with a transparent material. Hence it prevents helping a consumer to know about the ingredients of the food item. Based on the customer and an organizational standpoint, labeling is designed in such a way that consumer can quickly get the impression of the food items. Having a Food label is very important and is the reason is:.
With proper labeling on a packaged food item, the organizer finds easy in organizing various food items. By looking directly at the food labeling before looking inside the packaging, the consumer can get a better judgment of what ingredients they look for. For those new to the kitchen, just by looking at ingredients mentioned on the food tag, they can differentiate between what food item to be used.
High-Quality templates designing food labels are available online and can easily be downloaded and customized. Certain tips and points are to be followed while projecting the ideas and creativity in designing the Food Labels for packaged food items. The important point that should not be missed it about the nutrition fact label size. A suitable size should be selected by taking the proper measurement of the food containers.
By doing so, it gives an idea of space to be utilized and content to be used. Proper content together with an effective design helps in creating a good Food label that can draw the attention of many consumers.
In this section, standard to be followed while deciding and recommending the size, style, and typeface for a panel of Nutrition Fact Label is discussed. It is not necessary to follow and copy the font style of the example provided by FDA.

Young Danny Dakota is obsessed with a s rock band called The Rocking Tones that died from a bus explosion in As a result, a substance called pyruvic acid builds up in their bloodstream, causing a loss of mental alertness, difficulty breathing, and heart damage a disease known as beriberi.
Beriberi The most important use of thiamine is to treat beriberi, which is caused by not getting enough thiamine in your diet. Symptoms include swelling, tingling, or burning sensation in the hands and feet, confusion, difficulty breathing from fluid in the lungs , and uncontrolled eye movements called nystagmus.
Although people in the developed world generally do not have to worry about getting enough thiamine because foods such as cereals and breads are fortified with the vitamin, people can develop a deficiency fairly quickly, because the body does not store thiamine.
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a brain disorder caused by thiamine deficiency; as with beriberi, it is treated by giving supplemental thiamine. Wernicke-Korsakoff is actually two disorders: Wernicke's disease involves damage to nerves in the central and peripheral nervous systems and is generally caused by malnutrition stemming from habitual alcohol abuse.
Korsakoff syndrome is characterized by memory impairment and nerve damage. High doses of thiamine can improve muscle coordination and confusion, but rarely improves memory loss. Cataracts Preliminary evidence suggests that thiamine -- along with other nutrients -- may lower risk of developing cataracts. People with plenty of protein and vitamins A, B1, B2, and B3 niacin in their diet are less likely to develop cataracts.
Getting enough vitamins C, E, and B complex particularly B1, B2, B9 [folic acid], and B12 [cobalamin may further protect the lens of your eyes from developing cataracts. More research is needed. Alzheimer's disease Because lack of thiamine can cause dementia in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, it has been proposed that thiamine might help reduce severity of Alzheimer's disease. Scientific studies have not always shown any benefit from thiamine, however.
More research is needed before thiamine can be proposed as an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Heart failure 25 Thiamine may be related to heart failure in two ways. First, low levels of thiamine can lead to "wet beriberi," a condition where fluid builds up around the heart.
However, it isn't clear that taking thiamin will help people with heart failure not related to beriberi. Many people with heart failure take diuretics water pills , which help rid the body of excess fluid. But diuretics may also cause the body to get rid of too much thiamine. A few small studies suggest that taking thiamine supplements may help. A multivitamin, taken regularly, should provide enough thiamine. Deficiency 1. Mental confusion; muscle weakness 2.
Toxicity none None Food Sources Very good sources of vitamin B1 include asparagus romaine lettuce, mushrooms,spinach, sunflower seeds, tuna, green peas, tomatoes, eggplant and Brussels sprouts, pork, liver, whole grains, lean meats Vit. B2 Riboflavin Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is one of 8 B vitamins.
All B vitamins help the body to convert food carbohydrates into fuel glucose , which is "burned" to produce energy. They also help the nervous system function properly. In addition to producing energy for the body, riboflavin also works as an antioxidant by scavenging damaging particles in the body known as free radicals.
Free radicals occur naturally in the body but can damage cells and DNA, and may contribute to the aging process, as well as the development of a number of health conditions, such as heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants such as riboflavin can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or help prevent some of the damage they cause.
Riboflavin is also needed to help the body convert vitamin B6 and folate into active forms. It is also important for body growth and red blood cell production. Defieciency Most healthy people who eat a well-balanced diet get enough riboflavin. However, elderly people and alcoholics may be at risk for riboflavin deficiency because of poor diet.
Symptoms of riboflavin deficiency include fatigue; slowed growth; digestive problems; cracks and sores around 26 Riboflavin is an important nutrient in the prevention of headache and some visual disturbances, particularly cataracts. Anemia Children with sickle-cell anemia a blood disorder characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells tend to have lower levels of certain antioxidants, including riboflavin.
The same is also true of people with iron deficiency anemia, and studies suggest that taking riboflavin supplements may improve the response to iron therapy. Cataracts Vitamin B2, along with other nutrients, is important for normal vision, and preliminary evidence shows that riboflavin might help prevent cataracts damage to the lens of the eye, which can lead to cloudy vision.
In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, people who took a niacin-riboflavin supplement had significantly less cataracts. However, researchers don't know whether that was due to riboflavin, niacin, or the combination of the two.
And levels above 10 mg per day of riboflavin can actually promote damage to the eye from the sun. More research is needed to see if riboflavin has any real benefit in preventing cataracts. Migraine Headache Several studies indicate that people who get migraines may decrease the frequency and duration of the headache by taking riboflavin.
One double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that taking mg of riboflavin a day cut the number of migraine attacks in half. The study did not compare riboflavin to conventional medications used to prevent migraines, however, so more research is needed.
Dietary Sources: The best sources of riboflavin include brewer's yeast, almonds, organ meats, whole grains, wheat germ, wild rice, mushrooms, soybeans, milk, yogurt, eggs, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and spinach. Flours and cereals are often fortified with riboflavin. Riboflavin is destroyed by light, so food should be stored away from light to protect its riboflavin content.
While riboflavin is not destroyed by heat, it can be lost in water when foods are boiled or soaked. During cooking, roasting and steaming preserves more riboflavin than frying or scalding. Cracks at corners of mouth; 2.
Dermatitis around nose and lips; 3. Eyes sensitive to light. Toxicity none Food Sources 27 Liver, milk, dark green vegetables, whole and 2. B3 Niacin Vitamin B3 is one of 8 B vitamins. It is also known as niacin nicotinic acid and has 2 other forms, niacinamide nicotinamide and inositol hexanicotinate, which have different effects from niacin.
Niacin also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin is effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. Symptoms of mild deficiency include indigestion, fatigue, canker sores, vomiting, and depression. Severe deficiency can cause a condition known as pellagra. Pellagra is characterized by cracked, scaly skin, dementia, and diarrhea.
It is generally treated with a nutritionally balanced diet and niacin supplements. Niacin deficiency also results in burning in the mouth and a swollen, bright red tongue. Very high doses of B3 available by prescription have been shown to prevent or improve symptoms of the following conditions. However, taken at high doses niacin can be toxic, so you should take doses higher than the Recommended Daily Allowance only under your doctor's supervision.
Researchers are trying to determine if inositol hexanicotinate has similar benefits without serious side effects, but so far results are preliminary. High Cholesterol Niacin but not niacinamide has been used since the s to lower elevated LDL "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride fat levels in the blood and is more effective in increasing HDL "good" cholesterol levels than other cholesterol-lowering medications. However, side effects can be unpleasant and even dangerous. High doses of niacin cause flushing of the skin which can be reduced by taking aspirin 30 minutes before the niacin , stomach upset which usually subsides within a few weeks , headache, dizziness, and blurred vision.
There is an increased risk of liver damage. A time-release form of niacin reduces flushing, but its long-term use is associated with liver damage. In addition, niacin can interact 28 You should not take niacin at high doses without your doctor's supervision.
Atherosclerosis Because niacin lowers LDL and triglycerides in the blood, it may help prevent atherosclerosis hardening of the arteries and is sometimes prescribed along with other medications. However, niacin also increases levels of homocysteine levels in the blood, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. This is another reason you should not take high doses of niacin without your doctor's supervision.
Diabetes Some evidence suggests that niacinamide but not niacin might help delay the onset of insulin dependence in other words, delay the time that you would need to take insulin in type 1 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, eventually destroying them. Niacinamide may help protect those cells for a time, but more research is needed to tell for sure.
The effect of niacin on type 2 diabetes is more complicated. People with type 2 diabetes often have high levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood, and niacin, often in conjunction with other drugs, can lower those levels. However, niacin can also raise blood sugar levels, resulting in hyperglycemia, which is particularly dangerous for someone with diabetes. For that reason, anyone with diabetes should take niacin only when directed to do so by their doctor, and should be carefully monitored for hyperglycemia.
Dietary Sources: The best dietary sources of vitamin B3 are found in beets, brewer's yeast, beef liver, beef kidney, fish, salmon, swordfish, tuna, sunflower seeds, and peanuts.
Bread and cereals are usually fortified with niacin. In addition, foods that contain tryptophan, an amino acid the body coverts into niacin, include poultry, red meat, eggs, and dairy products Vit. In addition to playing a role in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates for energy, vitamin B5 is critical to the manufacture of red blood cells, as well as sex and stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands small glands that sit atop the kidneys.
Vitamin B5 is also important in maintaining a healthy digestive tract, and it helps the body use other vitamins particularly B2 or riboflavin. It is sometimes referred to as the "anti-stress" vitamin because of its effect on the adrenal glands, but there is no real evidence as to whether it helps the body withstand stressful conditions Dietary Sources: Pantothenic acid gets its name from the Greek root pantos, meaning "everywhere," because it is available in a wide variety of foods.
A lot of vitamin B5 is lost when you food is processed, however. Fresh meats, vegetables, and whole unprocessed grains have more vitamin B5 than refined, canned, and frozen food. The best sources are brewer's yeast, corn, cauliflower, kale, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, legumes, lentils, egg yolks, beef especially organ meats such as liver and kidney , turkey, duck, chicken, milk, split peas, peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, whole-grain breads and cereals, lobster, wheat germ, and salmon Deficiency Uncommon due to availability in most foods; fatigue; nausea, abdominal cramps; difficulty sleeping.
Toxicity none Vit. B6 Pyridoxine Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is one of 8 B vitamins. Functions Aids in protein metabolism, absorption; Aids in red blood cell formation; Helps body use fats. Deficiency Skin disorders, dermatitis Cracks at corners of mouth; Irritability; anemia; kidney stones; Nausea; smooth tongue. B8 Inositol Functions Helps release energy from carbohydrates Aids in fat synthesis.
Deficiency Fatigue; loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting; Depression; muscle pains; anemia. Folic acid, a nutrient found in some green, leafy vegetables, most berries, nuts, beans, citrus fruits, fortified breakfast cereals, and some vitamin supplements can help reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and spinal cord called neural tube defects.

Allicin Allicin, one of the sulfur compounds of garlic, possesses antioxidant activity and is shown to cause a variety of actions potentially useful for human health.
Allicin exhibits hypolipidemic, antiplatelet, and procirculatory effects. It demonstrates antibacterial, anticancer and chemopreventive activities. In addition, aged garlic extract possesses hepatoprotective and neuroprotective. But a factor that will limit the biological activity of allicin is its instability. Fresh crushed garlic cloves generated antibacterial activity and chemically detectable allicin, but this activity declines on a daily basis in aqueous and ethanol solutions.
Allicin is also not bioavailable and will not get absorbed in the blood, even after ingesting large amounts of allicin. Antimicrobial The antimicrobial effect of allicin is due to its chemical reaction with thiol groups of various enzymes. The phytochemical inhibits bacteria and viruses, By its antimicrobial activity, allicin may be an effective therapeutic candidate to promote ulcer healing.
In vitro-studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, such as Helicobacter pylori, Staphylococcus aureaus, Escherichia coli and Lancefield group B streptococci. Anticancer In vitro studies show that allicin inhibits the invasion and metastasis of human colon carcinoma cells. The phytochemical also exhibits antigenotoxic action. But the anticancer effect of allicin in humans remains uncertain, because of its low stability and poor bioavailability.
Heart health Garlic has been suggested to improve heart health by lowering blood pressure, but scientific studies have provided conflicting results. One study showed that the protective role of allicin against atherosclerosis, is not only the direct result of its antioxidant activity but also of other mechanisms, such as lipoprotein modification, inhibition of LDL uptake and degradation by macrophages.
Flavonoids Flavonoids have antioxidant activity. Flavonoids are becoming very popular because they have many health promoting effects. Some of the activities attributed to flavonoids include: anti- allergic, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral. The flavonoids quercetin is known for its ability to relieve hay fever, eszema, sinusitis and asthma.
Epidemiological studies have illustrated that heart diseases are inversely related to flavonoid intake. Studies have shown that flavonoids prevent the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein thereby reducing the risk for the development of atherosclerosis.
Red wine contains high levels of flavonoids, mainly quercetin and rutin. The high intake of red wine and flavonoids by the French might explain why they suffer less from coronary heart disease then other Europeans, although their consumption of cholesterol rich foods is higher French paradox.
Many studies have confirmed that one or two glasses of red wine daily can protect against heart disease. Tea flavonoids have many health benefits. Tea flavonoids reduce the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein, lowers the blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Soy flavonoids isoflavones can also reduce blood cholesterol and can help to prevent osteoporis.
Soy flavonoids are also used to ease menopausal symptoms Beta-Carotene Beta-carotene has received a lot of attention as potential anti-cancer and anti-aging phytochemical. Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant, protecting the cells of the body from damage caused by free radicals. Studies indicate that diets low in beta-carotene can increase the body's susceptibility to damage from free radicals, resulting in an increased risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancers.
Beta-carotene supplements may help reduce sun induced skin damage. Smokers should avoid large doses of beta carotene supplements. Beta-carotene is one of the many carotenoids that our body can convert into vitamin A retinol.
Anti-cancer Beta-carotene acts as an anti-cancer agent through its antioxidant property but it also seems to stimulate cell to cell communication. Poor communication between cells may eventually lead to cancer. However, beta-carotene may cause adverse effects on smokers. Two studies indicate that heavy smokers and drinkers may have an increased risk of lung cancer or heart disease, when taking daily more than 20 mg synthetic beta-carotene as supplements.
