DO WE KNOW WHAT WE EAT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent years, in Uruguay, the number of overweight and obesity cases has increased in all age groups; this is associated with a higher prevalence of non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases), at increasingly earlier ages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The consumption of foods with high sugar, fat, saturated fat and sodium content is associated with the development of these diseases, currently constituting the main public health problem.<\/p>\n

In our country, between 1999 and 2013, the sale of sugary drinks tripled and the sale of breakfast cereals, chocolates, ice creams, snacks and other ultra-processed foods doubled. The sale of this type of products has been displacing the consumption of home-cooked food. In the same period, an increase in overweight was observed in adults from 52.5% to 64.9% (MSP, 2015). In schoolchildren, it was shown that 39% are overweight (ANEP, 2019), with a close association with the increase in hypertension being observed (Honorary Commission for Cardiovascular Health, 2015).<\/p>\n

Front-of-pack labeling is an effective and practical tool that allows for the rapid identification of products with an unfavorable nutritional profile, as well as improving decision-making at the time of purchase, promoting healthier consumption habits that impact people's health.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • When planning meals, choose natural and minimally processed foods.<\/li>\n
  • If you buy packaged products, prioritize those that do not contain octagons.<\/li>\n
  • Home-cooked food is the main source of nutrients that children need to grow in a healthy way. Avoid offering them products that contain excess sugar, salt and fat.<\/li>\n
  • Labelling protects consumers and discourages the purchase of products that are harmful to health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
