Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Calorie Labels Show Small but Significant Impact on Food Choices
Caption: Calorie Labels Show Small but Significant Impact on Food Choices. A new review reveals that calorie labels on menus and food packaging encourage people to consume slightly fewer calories, around 1.8% less on average. For a 600-calorie meal, this translates to just 11 calories, the equivalent of a single crisp or two almonds. While small, researchers from the Cochrane Review state these reductions can have a "potentially meaningful" impact over time. Since 2022, large UK cafes, restaurants, and takeaways with over 250 staff have been legally required to include calorie information on menus. Government estimates suggest that reducing daily calorie intake by 24 calories, could prevent a typical 20 to 40-year-old in England from gaining up to 9kg over a decade. This highlights how even modest changes can support healthier habits in the long run. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
