When people did not consider calorie information, participants correctly saw a big gap between the healthy and unhealthy foods. But when they considered calorie information, those judgments became more moderate.

The article from UPI Voices, published on May 13, 2025, discusses the importance of understanding nutrition labels to make healthier food choices. It explains that nutrition labels provide crucial information about serving sizes, calories, and key nutrients such as fats, sugars, and sodium. The article emphasizes the need to pay attention to the percentage of daily values to gauge how a particular food fits into one's overall diet. It also highlights recent updates to nutrition labels, including the addition of added sugars and a more prominent display of calories, aimed at helping consumers make more informed decisions. The piece concludes by encouraging readers to use this information to improve their dietary habits and overall health.
