'Google vs Nutrition'
Google has developed a new tool which allows individuals to compare the nutritional content of two different foods. All you need to do is type in two different foods with the word ‘vs’ in between, for example ’apple vs orange’.
The tool will automatically compare the two foods nutritionally, There are also drop down options to change the serving size, preparation method and to include additions that are common to that food (for example mashed potato with margarine). You can even accommodate for additions. The nutrition information comes from the United States Department of Agriculture and includes all macronutrients plus a number of vitamins and minerals.
Any foods can be compared. From apples vs oranges, to bacon vs broccoli and even chocolate cake vs lettuce. So the next time you are waiting in the lunch line deciding which option is healthier this lightning speed Google search could make the choice easier!
