#Recap January 31
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
In January 2026, many of us completed the 30-Day Label Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we shared a label and info from a food product about one of the ingredients. The goal is simple—read food labels, research unfamiliar ingredients, and become more intentional about what you’re putting into your body, building awareness that can lead to healthier, more mindful eating. Today my post is on RECAP of what took place the last month.
This month challenged my limited exposure to chemistry, particularly as it relates to food. Learning about sulfites, high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, and aspartame were just a few examples that expanded my understanding. At times, these additives sounded threatening, yet many have been tested and deemed safe—while debate still surrounds others I encountered this month.
As always, a big shout-out to Jeff Neelon and Jaclyn Donovan for completing our 73rd consecutive 30-Day Challenge, dating back to January 2020.
