Fat, cholesterol & sodium – Eating too much of these may increase your risk for heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, high blood pressure and obesity. Fiber, vitamins & minerals –Eating enough of these can improve your health and help reduce the risk of some diseases. Most of us don’t get enough. Percent (%) daily value – The % DV helps you determine if a serving of food is high or low in a nutrient. 5% or less is low and 20% or more is high.
