Reading food labels can help prevent obesity

Spanish scientists have determined how you can lose weight without diet, exercise and additional costs. Researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela found that women who regularly read food labels weigh 4 kg less than those who do not look at what is written on the packaging.

The researchers conducted the study based on reports on the health, food and shopping habits of American consumers. Participants in the experiment were asked whether they pay attention to labels when they buy products.

It turned out that smokers pay almost no attention to the composition and calorie content of products. According to the results of the study, most often urban residents with education study labels. Moreover, there were 15 percent more women who were not indifferent to the composition of the product than men.
