List of words that actually don't mean a thing

Well maybe and maybe not. I know a lot of “gluten free” products are actually “made with no gluten-containing ingredients” but is actually made in a facility and on equipment that also process wheat, oats, barley, etc so the product is not actually gluten free!

Organic - sure it means no artificial pesticide/fertilizer but that doesn’t mean no pesticide/fertilizer is used and plenty of organic stuff is not safe to digest. Just because it occurs in nature does not mean that it is safe. I know plenty of people who don’t wash their fruit/vegetables because it’s “organic” so they don’t need to. Hm. No.

Plus everything else mentioned in the thread.

Saw candy that stated “fat free!” Right…
Paleo, primal, fat free, and no added sugar really annoy me when I see them.
