Daily Values (DV)| A dietary reference value can help consumers use food labels to compare products and plan a healthy diet. DVs are based on 2,000 and 2,500 daily calories. For example, the DV for fat for a 2,000 calorie diet is 65 grams (g). If a food item has 13g of fat per serving, the "% DV" for fat would be 20 percent. (based on a 2,000 calorie/day diet) This can guide the consumer to choose other low fat items.|DailyValues.swf\Dextrose| This is a form of glucose found in honey and sweet fruits such as grapes.

Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas can no longer produce insulin while Type 2 is a form of insulin resistance (the cells are unable to use insulin properly).  Studies have shown that moderate diet changes (losing weight) and physical activity can delay and prevent type 2 diabetes. Symptoms of diabetes include: fatigue, blurred vision, weight loss, frequent urination, and excessive thirst.|Diabetes.swf\Dietary Fiber|Dietary fiber refers to carbohydrates that cannot be digested (they do not provide energy nor calories).  Cellulose, pectin, and lignin are components of fiber. Dietary fiber can help prevent constipation and may help lower total cholesterol levels.
