It can have negative health effects such as increasing your risk of heart disease, metabolic disease and even cancer. Now, researchers have used a new nutritional labeling system to tie a diet low in nutritional quality with increased risks of a number of types of cancers.The <a href="https://www.santepubliquefrance.fr/Sante-publique-France/Nutri-Score" target="_blank">Nutri-Score logo</a> is based on the <a href="https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/nutrient-profiling-model-for-children" target="_blank">British Food Standards Agency’s Nutrient Profiling System</a>, which is calculated for each food or beverage using a 100-gram content measure for energy (calories), sugar, saturated fatty acids, sodium, fiber and proteins. The profiling system has been used in the UK to regulate food advertising to children since 2007.The new five-tier nutritional coding Nutri-Score system, which calculates food quality using the same method as the British standard, is unique; unlike the British system, Nutri-Score uses both colors (from dark green to dark orange) and grades (from A for the “highest nutritional quality” to E for the “lowest nutritional quality”) so consumers can understand the quality of a food at a glance.</blockquote>
