How Food Labeled "Healthy" May Lead To Overeating, University of Texas Study
Words matter when you're trying to eat right, new research suggests.
People tend to overeat when they're consuming food that's been labeled "healthy," undermining their own efforts to improve their diet, the study found.
People order larger portions, eat more and feel less full when they're consuming food that's been portrayed as "healthy" in its packaging, according to a report published recently in the Journal of the Association for Consumer Research.
