The Global Nutritional Quality Index (Global NQI) assigns all-inclusive scores to foods based on predicted metabolic and health impacts. Scores range from -10 to +10, with -10 signifying serious adverse health consequences, 0 signifying neutral effects, and +10 signifying profound health benefits.
How do your favorite foods measure up? Your favorite cereal? Your favorite yogurt? How does canned white compare to chunk light tuna? Atlantic to Alaskan salmon? Almonds to cashews? Apples to bananas? Soybean to canola oil?
ENDORSEMENTS
"Dr. Ramsden's Nutrition by the Numbers is a brilliantly unique guide to healthy eating and importantly, the antithesis of a fad diet. By translating sound nutritional and medical scientific principles into a consumer friendly tool, this book has the potential to transform our overall approach to nutrition, the way we eat, and the well-being of our population.”
Laurence S. Sperling, M.D., FACC, FAHA, FACP Director of Preventive Cardiology, Emory University School of Medicine
"I am much impressed by Dr. Ramsden’s Nutrition by the Numbers. Rather than just another rehash of the USDA Food Pyramid, this well written and scientifically accurate book is a more correct interpretation of the global nutritional literature as it relates to health, well being and freedom from chronic disease. The incorporation of evolutionary and historical perspectives into individual food choices is a novel and promising approach to chronic disease prevention."
