-It helps to make healthy food decisions
Nutrition labels do affect people's food choices. When you are deciding between two different
foods, you can look at the nutrition labels to determine which food is more nutritious. You can
compare the labels to determine which foods are lowest in calories, fat, saturated fat, Trans fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar.

-Maintaining Health weight
Reading nutrition labels can help you make the right food choices when you are trying to lose
weight or prevent weight gain. Research shows people were told by their doctors to lose weight
for health reasons that used nutrition labels consumed fewer calories, more fiber and less
saturated fat, sugar and carbohydrates than the people who didn't use nutrition labels.

-Nutrient Consumption
Many people don‘t consume enough fiber, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C, so these are
always included on nutrition labels. You can use the percent daily values listed on the label to give you a good idea which foods are high or low in these essential nutrients..

-Considerations
While nutrition facts labels can be helpful, not everyone understands the information included or the importance of it. Studies show that people who have low levels of literacy and numeracy
often don‘t understand these labels and that even some people who were more literate
sometimes had trouble interpreting nutrition facts labels. Doctors and other health providers need to provide education to their patients on how to use these labels when making dietary
recommendations.
