David Katz, a Yale Center researcher for preventive research, worked with a team of nutrition experts to develop a nutritional indicator called NuVal that comprehensively scores food based on total nutritional value . NuVal determines the nutritional value of food by comparing the characteristics of favorable foods (iron, fiber, vitamins etc) against the characteristics of harmful foods (sugar, sodium, cholesterol etc). The food score of the NuVal system is 1 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the nutritional value of the food (NuVal 2009). This indicator may be useful for developing domestic nutritional standards (AARP 2008).
