研究人员开发AI工具,帮助消费者避免使用与健康问题有关的超处理食品。 Researchers develop AI tool to help consumers avoid ultra-processed foods linked to health issues.

东北大学的研究人员创建了GroceryDB, 这是一种AI工具,帮助消费者识别超处理食品,这些食品约占杂货的75%,并且与肥胖症和心脏病等健康问题相关。 Researchers at Northeastern University created GroceryDB, an AI tool that helps consumers identify ultra-processed foods, which make up about 75% of grocery items and are linked to health issues like obesity and heart disease. 该工具利用FPro算法,根据加工水平对50 000多种食品进行排位,以简化营养选择。 The tool uses the FPro algorithm to rank over 50,000 food products based on processing levels, aiming to simplify nutrition choices. 然而,批评者认为,营养价值应当成为主要重点,而不仅仅是加工水平,这表明均衡的饮食可以包括一些超加工食品。 However, critics argue that nutritional value should be the main focus, not just processing levels, suggesting that a balanced diet can include some ultra-processed foods.
