When people see tags or menus that list calories in their food, they do not change their consumption in any way beyond what experts call “statistical bamboleo.” About two almonds less calorie per food. But two almonds over time can add a lot.
That is the conclusion in the data of A systematic review for the Cochrane collaboration. The academic team reviewed 25 documents that discussed the impact of calorie labeling on consumption and found a thorough reduction in selected foods, approximately 11 calories.
So few calories per hour of chewing gum will burn it. Or a minute of exercise. If you are the type of person who ‘gamifies’ life, finding 11 calories for food can be fun. However, critics rightly argue that the additional cost of more labels is not worth it if 11 calories for food is the impact. That is true, we cannot regret the food inflation of 44% to which the poor have been subjected in the last four years and then make food more expensive with tricks that do not work.
Except they could. Historical data show that almost 90% of people aged 20 to 40 will add 20 pounds. Weight in the next 10 years. The general rule is that you need to eat 3,500 calories more than it burns to win a pound of weight. So, 33 calories per day would less No winning 3 pounds per year. For 10 years you would be slender while your friends hit new holes in their belts.
If you may burn 11 calories chewing gum for a long time, that means you can also mitigate it with only three minutes of exercise. Or not eat calories at all. For people who drink alcohol, it could be even easier. It is a beer less per week, you don’t need exercise.
The analysis had more than 10,000 participants from high -income countries and 16 of the documents reviewed by the behavior used in restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets. “Our previous version of this 2018 review reported a potentially greater effect, but it was not conclusive because there was a significant uncertainty about the results. This update has reduced that uncertainty, and now we can say with confidence that it is very likely that there is a real effect, although modest, “says main author Dr. Gareth Hollands of the social UCL Research Institute.
