Nutrient Profiling Systems and Food Rankings

The chapter explores nutrient profiling systems developed by Tufts University and compares them to systems like NOVA from Latin America to evaluate food based on nutrition. It discusses the controversial rankings of foods, such as promoting frosted mini wheats while minimizing ground beef, raising questions about the validity of these rankings. The conversation also delves into the health risks of consuming ultra-processed foods and the benefits of whole fruits over fruit juices.
