The Emergence of Nutrient Density at the Retail Level
The marketing of the nutrient density of foods seems to be underway. Reportedly now on display at the Whole Foods store in Santa Fe New Mexico, the ANDI Index for "healthier food choices" has made a more public debut and we wonder to what took so long?
The ANDI Index is short for the Aggregate Nutrient Data Index is being promoted by a Dr. Joel Fuhrman, MD. It is central to his business called "Eat Right America". Some of the foods--the top 30 super foods--are listed on a blog and at Fuhrman's web site. But there is not much else according to a few key word searches on google.
Even so the march toward making the foods we eat nutrient transparent at the retail level has begun. It is terribly interesting this is being done by someone appearing as a regular medical doctor--is he not part of the very profession maligned by the allopathic establishment for being un-educated in nutrition and nutrition practices? Of course.
But the point here is nutrient transparency through the promotion of nutrient density: once you know what's in the foods you buy you can begin to make better eating choices on the nutrient contribution they make to your life. Not a bad deal.
