The good news is that the numbering system will help us make better choices in each food category such as milk, produce, bread, etc. Look at the Milk scores here: http://www.nuval.com/pages/ScoreMilk.aspx You'll see that some organic and non-organic skim milks received scores of "100". If you're concerned about toxins, preservatives, and pesticides (I know I am), go for the organic milk, such as Stonyfield Farm Organic Fat Free Milk. Hope that helps! :) Laurel Dr. Katz said the system does not account for organic foods at this point, but they are constantly improving it.

You’ll see that some organic and non-organic skim milks received scores of “100″. If you’re concerned about toxins, preservatives, and pesticides (I know I am), go for the organic milk, such as Stonyfield Farm Organic Fat Free Milk.

Hope that helps!

This is the first time I am hearing about NuVal. But as a consumer, I am also concerned about the amount of preservative and insecticide used on the food I eat. Does the system take these into consideration? Thanks. Hi Laurel, Thanks for the great post! This is the first time I am hearing about NuVal.

That mistake shows I'm a true southern girl! :) When Dr. Katz said Meijer I just assumed it was spelled "Meyer". Oops, yes thank you Kate, I meant Meijer.

You know it has a sweet spot in my heart :) Thanks for the update! I can't wait until this comes to a Publix or Super Target near us!
