Lousy Labels: Health Hype :
Par exemple, la compagnie Lassonde semble dire qu’Oasis Health Break (Oasis pause santé), combat le cholestérol et qu’en boire deux verres par jour, est l’équivalent de manger 80 oranges. Le hic est que deux verres par jour est aussi l’équivalent de 1.5 kilo de sucre par mois.

A study published online in the American Journal of Public Health fiddled around with red (avoid) and green (eat me) labels on items in a hospital cafeteria.
No wonder the food industry in Great Britain fought so hard against traffic light front-of-package labeling. No wonder the Grocery Manufacturers Association and Food Marketing Institute much prefer their own guaranteed-not-to-work system.
And data like these surely explain why the FDA is taking so long to do anything with the Institute of Medicine’s proposed labeling system—not exactly traffic lights, but pretty close.
