Forget Nutrition Labels — When Will Real Obesity Solutions Emerge?
"The problems with diet and health go well beyond the food label. In short, there is too much information, and it is too complex, too contradictory and not individualized.
One survey by the International Life Science Agency found that most people think figuring out what to eat is more difficult than figuring out your taxes. Nutrition research regularly reverses itself as to what foods and nutrients people should be eating. Population-wide recommendations like reducing sodium intake are not helpful for those who do not need to do so.
The bottom line is that it is very hard to discover the right nutrition advice and put it into practice for most people."
