Food Nutritional Quality Index

First post here......has to be about food!

My friend just told me about the new Nutritional Quality Index developed by Yale University's Griffin Prevention Research Center. What the Index is about? It is to score food based on their nutrients, sugar, salt and other values on how it impacts our body!

Sounds amazing! And from the rankings......surprise surprise...there're four food that rank with a score of 100.

BROCCOLI










BLUEBERRIES









ORANGE










GREEN BEANS













And to name few of those that have a score less than 5:


4 Cheese Puffs


3 Milk Chocolate


2 Regular cut bacon; Apple pie; Saltine crackers


1 Soda; Popsicle


Well...guess natural organic food will always be good when it comes to nutrition values and be part of a healthy diet!
