The NuVal™ System was developed by a team of nutrition and
medical experts from leading health organizations and universities.
Using a patent-pending algorithm, the system considers more than
30 of the following nutrients found in food and beverages then
summarizes their nutritional quality in a single number:
· Carbohydrates
· Protein
· Fat
· Fiber
· Vitamins
· Minerals
The Score considers how these nutrients influence health outcomes
and relate to USDA and Institute of Medicine dietary guidelines.
