A new study published in the journal Science Daily suggests that nutrition labelling is improving the nation’s diet.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Liverpool, involved 1,000 adults who were asked about their diet and their knowledge of nutrition labelling. The participants were divided into two groups: one group was given a nutrition labelling intervention, while the other group was not.
After six months, the participants in the nutrition labelling intervention had made healthier food choices than the participants in the non-intervention group. They were more likely to choose foods that were lower in calories, fat, and sugar, and they were more likely to read nutrition labels before making a purchase.
The researchers believe that the nutrition labelling intervention helped the participants to make healthier food choices by providing them with more information about the nutritional content of foods.
This study provides new insights into the potential benefits of nutrition labelling for improving the nation’s diet. It suggests that nutrition labelling can help people to make healthier food choices, which can lead to a healthier overall diet.
Here are some key takeaways from the study:
- Nutrition labelling can help people to make healthier food choices.
- People who are given nutrition labelling interventions are more likely to choose foods that are lower in calories, fat, and sugar.
- More research is needed to confirm the findings of this study and to determine the optimal way to implement nutrition labelling programs.
If you are interested in making healthier food choices, here are some tips:
- Look for foods that have nutrition labels.
- Read the nutrition labels carefully and compare the different foods.
