There is a new label coming to grocery stores that will make shopping for healthier options much easier. NuVal is a food labeling system developed by independent nutrition and medical experts. Food is scored on a scale of 1-100. The higher the score the more nutritious the food. The labels will be on the shelf right along with the price per unit tags. They will allow you to quickly identify which foods are more nutritious. The scores are the product of a patent pending algorithm that take into consideration over 30 nutrients and nutrient factors. Basically it takes the good nutrients and subtracts the bad nutrients to determin the nutrient value of the food.
