Healthy Tip: Watch For Misleading Advertising

 You really need to be cautious with advertising on boxes!  I saw these at the store...and at first I was very excited to be able to buy some otter pops that were 100% Fruit Juice!!
 BUT, upon further inspection...I realized they were not what they appeared to be! Although the box said "100% Fruit Juice" ...it also said (in tiny words underneath) "from concentrate with added ingredients" AND although the box read "No High Fructose Corn Syrup"... 
IT DID HAVE LOTS OF ADDED SUGAR!!
Sugar was the third ingredient and there were 10 g in each otter pop! It is crazy to me how they can get away with this type of advertising!  We evidently REALLY need to make sure to read carefully and always read the back label!
