“Nothing is more important than nutrition for correct and optimal bodily and mental functioning,” Dr. Lustig writes, and he advocates eating what he calls “Real Food” that is low in sugar and high in fiber. @WSJ

Check out our study of @UCSF employees during a sugary beverage ban. A university-wide sales ban was effective, but even more effective paired with an education initiative.

Thank you for your in-depth article @crenshawseeds on our prenatal exposome study.
It was a multidisciplinary collaboration with @msirota84 @rmfrosch and @CaliforniaDTSC
More than 50 chemicals never before detected in humans have been found in blood samples from mothers and their newborns, according to a new paper by @TraceyJWoodruff, @DimiAbrams. I covered this for @LiveScience. livescience.com/new-environm…

Lamentable ver este tipo de información por @HEB. Parece NO comprender que el #EtiquetadoParaLaSalud califica las características del producto y NO su porción como incorrectamente afirman.
Prefiere alimentos o productos SIN sellos. Evita todo lo posible consumir #comidachatarra – at Cuernavaca, Morelos

En otras palabras, con el nuevo etiquetado la cantidad NO es lo que determina que tenga sellos, es la calidad: si tiene un % excesivo de ingredientes malos para la salud, tiene sellos, así sea microchatarra.
El mensaje es muy claro: disminuye consumo de éstos en tu dieta 🌞
Aquí los puntos de corte que determinan si un producto c/azúcar, grasa o sal añadidos presenta sellos de advertencia
Se presentan en 100g/ml para facilitar comparaciones, pero aún si se hicieran en una menor porción los productos con sellos serían los mismos
