The Nutri-Score is more helpful in guiding healthier food choices in Indonesia, Mexico and Türkiye than health warning labels, our new #HPGVienna @univie.ac.at @unibayreuth.bsky.social study suggests. Yet, Nutri-Score may also lead to health halos that need more attention!
doi.org/10.1007/s125...
Screenshot of the abstract of paper "Nutri-Score and Nutrition Warning Labels Are Effective in Guiding Hypothetical Choice in Indonesia, Mexico, and Türkiye: Results from a Cross-Country Online Experiment" Background: Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labeling (FOPNL) is a promising public health measure to promote healthier food choices in the population. The present study tested the impact of the Nutri-Score and warning labels on purchasing intentions and product perceptions in Indonesia and Türkiye, where no FOPNL system is currently in place, and Mexico, where warning labels are mandatory since October 2020. Method: Adult participants (N = 639; nIndonesia = 212, nMexico = 203, nTürkiye = 224) were randomly assigned to viewing eight product pairs (chips, instant noodles, meats, condiments, sweet spreads, cookies, yoghurt, fruit drinks) with either no label, a Nutri-Score, or warning labels, and indicated which product (or neither) they would rather buy, and which product was healthier, contained more calories, sugar, saturated fat, and sodium. Results: Nutri-Score influenced purchasing intentions for four categories; warning labels only for one. Overall, Nutri-Score was somewhat more effective in guiding consumers to identify healthier choices and products higher in nutrients that should be consumed in moderation compared to the warning labels, although effects varied substantially between product categories and nutrients. Conclusion: Both Nutri-Score and warning labels potentially promote healthier food choices, with Nutri-Score producing somewhat larger and more consistent effects. More research is needed on potential negative consequences of labels and the conditions under which they might appear to maximize public health benefit.

Opportunity for Early Career Researchers!

Are you an early career researcher interested in pursuing an MSCA-type post-doc?
The GAIA Postdoctoral Fellowship Program could be your chance. It follows the same criteria as MSCA, but all fellowships are hosted at my uni and focus on climate science.

Do people simply... delete sent emails (or even empty that folder completely)? 😱 How do you reference emails sent, or copy-paste text (e.g., re student requests) from one semester to the next? #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter

People are running stats on LLM-generated participants and think they’re being social scientists when in fact they’re technically just playing a very strange video game. This is like saying you’re doing math research because you’re playing sudoku.

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds
Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings
