"A new system for scoring the nutritional value of foods will find its way to grocery store shelves next year, the latest attempt to come up with a standard way to make healthier food choices."And who is leading this charge?
"The Overall Nutritional Quality Index (ONQI) was developed by a group of nutrition and health experts, led by David Katz, chairman of the Yale Prevention Research Center."The same guy who has misled millions already with his bull, IMHO. (also see here and here.)
And the same institution as this fat diet guru failure.
And the same profession that has failed us in weight control forever, does not know left from right, can't decide if keyboarding causes carpal tunnel and now thinks that preservatives linked to causing cancer are healthy.
You can bet your life with certainty, that this system will apply the same knowledge and skill as the above.
In fact, you are betting your life.
Don't buy into it.
Apparently the competition is fierce in the domain of bad approaches to labeling.
"But Katz's group isn't the only one trying to develop a standard, comprehensive nutritional scoring system. Producers also are trying to get a seat at the table."This is another approach that can only harm, not help.
Here are approaches that will help, IMHO. (here, here, here, here, here, and here.)
