Registered dietician Emma Liu discusses the how and why of reading nutrition labels.

Nutrition labels can be helpful when we’re choosing food in a store. Read them by starting at the top and continuing down for information on serving size, calorie count and the amounts of fat, sodium, salt, protein, etc. Tip: The most prevalent ingredients are listed first and items continue in descending order of presence in the particular food.
