Points make healthy eating simple by using the latest nutritional science to simplify complex food label data into one easy-to-use number that helps you assess a food on the spot. Every food and beverage gets a Points value based on six components. Calories are part of the equation; saturated fat and added sugar drive up the Points value; fibre, protein, and unsaturated fats drive it down. Our scientifically-proven system is designed to guide everyone toward a healthier pattern of eating with foods that are higher in fibre, protein, and unsaturated fats (the better-for-you fats) and lower in added sugar and saturated fat (the less good-for-you fats).
