Nutritional information is one of those areas dominated by "fake news", or at least overhyped dietary advice in the popular press. See e.g. http://kill-or-cure.herokuapp.com/

I wouldn't blame people for giving up trying to make sense of what foods are currently considered beneficial or harmful.

Um, we are talking about the nutrition facts label printed by the manufacturer, not the various stories the media hypes up about the nutrients themselves.

Even when the manufacturer posts the claim on the packaging, they have to use specific language indicating the claims haven't been verified by the FDA.
