Additional Description
Which is better for you, baked chicken with the skin removed or canned tuna packed in water? Steamed lobster or raw oysters? Cantaloupe or an apple? A McDonald's hamburger or Kentucky Fried Chicken?
Most of us have and idea of which foods are healthful and which are to be avoided, but even those of us who are most knowledgeable about nutrition feel defeated when we discover that a food is high in protein but also high in cholesterol, or rich in calcium but high in fat, or low-calorie but packed with sodium. The most revolutionary concept to be introduced in the field of nutrition in years, Nutripoints is the first and only system that enables one to determine and compare the overall nutritional values of foods.
Remarkably simple, the Nutripoint program eliminates the need to monitor calories, fat,cholesterol, sodium, sugar, vitamins, minerals, and caffeine by assigning each food, in its commonly used portion, one Nutripoint score that is the key to optimal nutrition. The higher the Nutripoint score of a given food, the higher it is in eighteen nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and protein, and the lower it is in fat, sugar, sodium, cholesterol, and caffeine. With 100 Nutripoints per day, chosen from six food groups, your diet will meet or surpass U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowances and recommendations of the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the American Dietetic Association. In one step, Nutripoints helps you prevent heart disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and osteoporosis. Moreover, the point system allows recovery from "bad" days and eliminates rigid meal plans. Most important, Nutripoints enables you to choose the best possible foods to get the most nutrients per calorie. More than 3,000 foods, including basic foods, brand-name foods, and fast foods, are rated. - from the blurb.
