Introduction
肥胖主要是由食物过度消费引起的,可导致大量非传染性疾病,如冠心病和二型糖尿病。导致健康不佳的其他因素还包括高盐摄入或者糖摄入,高盐摄入会增加高血压,从而增加心血管疾病的风险。摄入糖会导致蛀牙,此外还会导致肥胖或超重。超重通常归因于糟糕的个人选择或在坚持已知的最佳行动过程中缺乏自制力。

Abstract
Obesity and other nutrition-related non-communicable diseases were virtually non-existent before the advent of industrialized food production. In recent years, a 5-color front-of-package food label (“Nutri-Score”) seeking to demonstrate the overall nutritional value and healthiness of food products has been adopted for voluntary use in some European countries. The Nutri-Score is mainly based on the sugar, salt and calorie content of food items. The present viewpoint discusses whether the Nutri-Score correctly identifies healthy and unhealthy food items and how large an impact the Nutri-Score may have on consumers’ choices. Furthermore, other benefits as well as hidden costs and drawbacks in implementing the Nutri-Score will be presented. Despite its reducing of the complex information regarding the contents of foods, the Nutri-Score may provide easily intelligible information regarding healthy nutrition and may become a valuable tool in educating consumers and influencing their food choices. The Nutri-Score may not become a game-changer in combating poor nutrition, but it is helpful in the right circumstances. If an inexpensive public policy, such as front-of-package labeling, makes some positive contribution, there is no reason to argue against its adoption. Even small effects may be relevant when a measure is adopted at population level.
