Researchers at Tufts University, in #Boston released a new, highly controversial system for ranking foods based on their nutrient contents. In the new ranking, on a scale of 1 to 100, #LuckyCharms earned a “healthfulness” score of 60; while a fried egg was 29, cheddar cheese 28, and ground beef just 26. “The idea was to provide an objective, bias-free, clear, profiling system of healthy and unhealthy foods. Boy, did they miss the boat,” said Dr. Scher in the new video. Dr. Scher notes the researchers created the new rating system because they felt other nutrient profiling systems (NPS) did not do a good enough job advising people what to eat “and they wanted to create a better one.” But #DrScher notes the results are “misleading, misrepresenting and clearly biased.” Via @diet_doctor • @Riemoh
