Health Facts or other claims or comments are editorial opinions, given without warranty, and are not intended to replace the advice of a nutritionist or other health-care professional. Opinions and ratings are based on weighted averages or the nutrient densities of those foods for which the FDA and Health Canada has established daily values, and do not consider other nutrients that may be important to your health, nor do they take into account your individual needs. Therefore, higher-rated foods may not necessarily be healthier for you than lower-rated foods. All foods, regardless of their rating may have the potential to play an important role in your diet.
