RATING: 2.5
SYNOPSIS
Through scanned product barcodes, this app helps users interpret food labels and notes various health aspects of the food so consumers can choose healthier alternatives.
BOTTOM LINE
While the website is great, the app is largely based on people’s opinions, not on advice from experts. Although billed as “like having a dietitian on speed dial,” an RD offers so much more than just defining food ingredients.
Food & Nutrition Magazine publishes articles on food and diet trends, highlights of nutrition research and resources, updates on public health issues and policy initiatives related to nutrition, and explorations of the cultural and social factors that shape Americans’ diets and health.
