Nutritional habits play an important role in human life. Every unhealthy food we take into our body can bring diseases. Researchers at the University of Michigan in the USA have started to apply a measurement method that measures the carbon footprint of 6,000 foods and calculates the nutrient impact.
With the method called Health Nutrition Index; effects of food and snacks can be calculated. After calculating the health load of one gram of the food, the result is based on the standard portion size.
COKE
If you think that sweetened acidic foods are only high in calories, you are wrong. Coke, which is one of the acidic foods, steals 12.5 minutes from your life. Instead, you can choose home-squeezed fresh fruit juices.
