Physical Activity Calorie Equivalent Labels May Help Combat Obesity, Review

“Food labels detailing how much exercise is needed to burn off a product’s calorie content could help to combat obesity,” researchers concluded in a “new scientific review.” The review concluded that “physical activity calorie equivalent (PACE) labels could improve on labels that identify only calories and nutrient content.” The review indicated that “large-scale application of PACE labels could, on average, cut calorie consumption by up to 200 calories per person per day.” The findings of the 14-study review were published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/11/health/physical-activity-food-labels-wellness-scli-intl-gbr/index.html
