Ladies Who Read The Nutrition Labels On Food Weigh Less Than Those Who Don’t

"An annual survey by the Center For Disease Control and Prevention, attempting to throw off the projected 40% obesity rate in America by the next 20 years, has found that women who scrutinize the labels on the back of their food have an average BMI of 1.49 lower than women who don't examine the nutritional value of their meal. It comes out to about an 8 pound difference. For men, meanwhile, there are significantly less weight-related benefits to reading the label, only a 0.12 BMI gap.

These findings are a little bit chicken/egg, though."
