Nutrition Facts labels work-but not enough of us are using them. Thats the conclusion of a study of US adults based on data from a national nutrition survey. People who consult nutrition labels consumed fewer calories and less total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and added sugars than nonlabel users. But only 61.6% of those surveyed said they regularly check the Nutrition Facts panel. Usage of other label resources was even lower: 51.6% check the ingredients list, 47.2% look at serving size, and 43.8% consider health claims when pondering a food purchase.TO LEARN MORE: Journal of the American Dietetic Association, August 2010
