A persons diet affects almost every aspect of their health, from heart disease to mood regulation. For 30 years, Penn States Diet Assessment Center has collected and analyzed high-quality dietary data in order to help researchers clearly understand what, how, and when people are eating.

Measuring what people eat in the course of their normal lives is notoriously difficult. When asked, people often fail to report their intake accurately. Remembering every food and beverage consumed and estimating the amount of food consumed can be a daunting task for many.

Despite the challenges, understanding diet is critical. The Diet Assessment Center, housed within Penn States Department of Nutritional Sciences, has been providing expert data collection to address this need for decades. It has developed a reputation as one of the best resources for researchers who need to plan, collect data, or analyze data in the field of nutrition.

The Diet Assessment Center provides data collection and research expertise that is central to understanding nutrient intake and to analyzing the behavioral aspects of what, when, and how people eat. A lot of training and experience is required to be able to query adults and children about their diet and get reliable information from them. Diet assessment is a cornerstone of nutrition research and many other types of studies, for example of the microbiome or metabolic diseases. It is well established that diet underlies about half of the risk of many chronic diseases, so learning what people -- individuals and groups -- actually consume is essential to public health science. said A. Catharine Ross, professor of nutrition and physiology, and Dorothy Foehr Huck Chair in the Nutritional Sciences department.

Researchers in the Diet Assessment Center collaborate with nutrition researchers, government agencies, and private companies to collect and analyze data. The researchers in the center have worked on dozens of studies, large and small.

Collaborating for a healthier population

The Geisinger Rural Aging Study has been one of the hallmark studies of the Diet Assessment Center, said Diane Mitchell, associate research professor of nutritional sciences and director of the Diet Assessment Center. The original principal investigator was Gordon Jensen, former head of Penn States Nutritional Sciences department. Currently, Christopher Still at Geisinger is the principal investigator. Under their leadership, the study has investigated a broad array of topics that can improve the health of rural Americans.

In many ways, the Geisinger Rural Aging Study has served as the bread and butter of the center, allowing us to continually improve our methods, Mitchell continued. Funded through a cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture and Geisinger Health System, it has provided resources to develop and test dietary methods to assess nutrition risk and diet quality.

According to Mitchell, the study has collected and analyzed dietary and other health-related data for more than 21 years on over 20,000 older adults in Central Pennsylvania. It is the longest running study conducted in the Diet Assessment Center. The study has helped researchers better understand how diet affects health as people age and has led to dozens of scientific publications.

Recently, the investigators uncovered new insights about the connection between diet quality and mortality. In the next several years, the project will focus on other neurological outcomes such as Parkinsons disease and dementia. This work is being guided by Xiang Gao, professor of nutritional sciences.

Data collection, instrument validation, and more

Over the life of the Diet Assessment Center, researchers have collected more than 75,000 dietary recalls. During a dietary recall, researchers call study participants at random times on select days over the course of the study, which prevents participants from consciously or subconsciously editing their responses in advance. The participants explain what they ate during the 24 hours before they received the call. For most dietary recall studies, the center uses the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR), a software program developed by the University of Minnesota. The NDSR database allows for automatic calculation of over 150 nutrients and food components participants are consuming such as fat, protein, calories, vitamins and minerals.

Though the center is best known for collecting dietary recalls, the Diet Assessment Center also provides research support for studies involving the collection and analysis of food records; the development, validation, and collection of food frequency questionnaires; and the collection of a variety of other types of telephone or self-administered questionnaires including physical activity, functional status, and health history.

We recently wrapped up a collaboration with the American Cancer Society on the modification and validation of a food frequency questionnaire, Mitchell explained. We used detailed food data to modify an existing food frequency questionnaire to reflect the diets of the Cancer Prevention Study-3 participants. The American Cancer Society uses dietary data collected via food frequency questionnaires to study the effect of diet on the development of cancer in over 300,000 Americans, so it is important that these data represent the population being studied.

Promoting undergraduate research

One unique aspect of the Diet Assessment Center is that they train undergraduate students to collect data. This gives students a unique opportunity to be involved in research collecting high-quality dietary data for ground breaking nutritional studies. It prepares the students for graduate school and employment by grounding them in rigorous research protocols while enhancing communication skills. For the investigators who collaborate with the Diet Assessment Center, employing a highly trained student staff results in a more efficient and cost-effective approach to data collection.

Looking forward

Thirty years into its existence, the Diet Assessment Center shows no signs of slowing down.

Im very excited about the future, Mitchell said. Advances in nutritional sciences require that we continue to develop and refine approaches to better capture diet, and this is a top priority for government-sponsored nutrition research. This aligns very well with the expertise of the Diet Assessment Center.

Researchers who are interested in collaborating with the Diet Assessment Center are encouraged to visit the centers website or email Diane Mitchell at dcm1@psu.edu.

Sugar rush. Sugar high. Sugar buzz. Sugar slump.

We've all heard these phrases that describe what our brains feel like when we've had too much of a sweet treat. But heres the thing about sugar and your brain: Your noggin needs it because sugar is its main fuel. Our brains run on glucoseit fuels our cells, including our brain cells. Were evolutionarily programmed to like sweets since theyre a great energy source. And when glucose levels are low in the blood (say, if you have hypoglycemia, or sometimes if it's just been a while since you've had something to eat), brain fog sets in, you fumble for words, you forget where you put down your phone, you look for a place to curl up for a quick nap.

When theres too much sugar in the system, however, that can set off some really bad stuff in your body and your brain.

When sugar hits our tongue, it activates certain taste buds that send a signal up to the brain, including the cerebral cortex, says Nicole Avena, Ph.D., assistant professor of neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, who wrote a book about sugar addiction. The signal activates the brains reward system; dopamine (a feel-good brain chemical) is released and the behavior is reinforced, which makes us want to repeat it (mmmm, thats nice, give me more!).

Sugar is rare among dopamine-producing foods, Avena points out. Most of the time when we eat something new and tasty, dopamine is released the first time we taste it, she explains. This is an evolutionary advantage to help us to pay attention to new and different tastes, in case they make us sick. If we eat something new and don't get sick, typically the dopamine response then goes away the next timeso basically we only release dopamine in response to eating new foods. However, sugar is different. Its more like what happens with a drug of abuse, where dopamine is released every single time its consumed. Eating lots of sugar will continue to feel rewarding because the dopamine level doesnt balance out, which it does when eating healthier foods. So sugar does act a bit like a drug in our system which is why people get hooked on sugary foods.

We used to have to forage for sweet foodsbut no more, of course. Our world is filled with sugary foods and not just the obvious donuts and super-sweetened, super-large latte drinks. A host of surprising foods from ketchup to salad dressing to marinara sauce have sugar added to them. But our brains still function like sugar is a rarity.

When you repeatedly activate that reward system, your brain adapts and actually rewires itself, and you crave more and more. And research on rats turned up this finding: When they were fed high-sugar diets, the rats brains released less of a certain chemical that helps bodies put on the brakes, so they were less able to stop eating it.

Those sugar-saturated rats also werent as good at certain memory tasks, which showed that certain brain functions in the prefrontal area and hippocampus (an important area for memory formation and retention) were impaired. Other rat studies showed that a high sugar diet increased inflammation in this area, which also affected short term memory.

You may not be aware that theres a strong connection between our gut and our brainand sugar comes into play here as well. When that sugary thing youve eaten hits your gut, Avena says, it activates sugar receptors there too, which signal the brain to release insulin to deal with the extra sugar youve eaten. To explain further: Excess sugar drives the pancreas to produce extra insulin, a hormone involved in blood sugar regulation. The insulin signals fat cells to store excessive amounts of glucose, fatty acids, and other calorie-rich substances. As a result, too few calories remain in the bloodstream, so the brain thinks its now low on fuel (since it has those very high energy needs). So your hunger level rises quickly. And sugar is appealing then because it provides quick energy. Thus, the cycle begins again. And thus, cravings for more and more brownies or ice cream or candy.

Sugar Shock: The Hidden Sugar in Your Food and 100+ Smart Swaps to Cut Back

Want to get your brain in line with a healthier sugar level? Your brain can readapt when you cut back on sugar, and you wont crave it as much, says Avena. However, it can take awhile, even months, for this to happen, depending on the severity of dependence on sugar that one has.

To find out more about how to start cutting back on sugar and shake off a sugar dependence, try a 7-day detox plan. When you can successfully cut back, there's a payoff, besides a much healthier body: Just a small taste of, say, that delicious chocolate brownie will be enough of a sweet treat to satisfy you.

The holidays have a way of throwing off our routineseven during a typical year. With added levels ofstress and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be even more challenging than usual to focus on nutritious foods, exercise, and other components of a healthy lifestyle.

First,giveyourself some grace.Guiltoveran extra dessert or a missed workoutis unnecessary and unhelpful. Criticizing yourself, or your family, for imperfection might lead to even more tension and anxiety.

That said, taking care of your health can help you cope better with lifes ups and downs. Plus, poor nutrition and a lack of physical activity can increase your risk of other health problems in the long run, from obesity to heart disease to certain cancers. Some of these conditions also put youatan increased riskfor complications from COVID-19, according tothe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

You might have to be a little more creative to ease stress and incorporate movement this fall and winter. But if 2020 has brought anything, itsa mindsetofflexibility. Hereare some strategies totrythis holiday season.

Focus on the Positives

Instead of dwelling on what will happen if you eat poorly and stay sedentary, consider the perks of eating better and getting moving.

If you eat a healthy diet, youll live longer and reduce your risk for chronic health conditionsor manage the ones you already have. The perks of exercise begin nearly immediately after a workout and include reduced anxiety and depression and better sleep.

Dont Deny YourselfFamilyFavorites

Many traditional holiday foods wouldnt necessarily appear on a list of the healthiest dishes. Theyre often high in calories, saturated fat, or added sugars.

Thats OKyou can still enjoy them. Just choose one or two of your favorites, and eat them in small portions. Balance them out with vegetables or other nutrient-rich ingredients.

You can also try modifying recipes for instance, grilling or baking your proteins instead of frying them, or swapping out heavy cream for lighter versions. Or, try an entirely new dish. You might find a new holiday favorite.

Sneak in Extra Vegetables

Good nutrition isnt all about what you dont eat, anywayits often just as important to add in more nourishing nutrients. After all, fewer than one in 10 children and adults eat enough vegetables, the CDC reports.

Eating more plants can ensure you get enoughessentialvitamins and minerals. Try slicing up raw veggies and keeping thembagged in the fridgeas snackstheyre far easier to grab when theyre already bite-sized. Add beans or peas to soups andsalads.

Turn Your Plate into a Party

Another simple, festivetrick to up your fruit and veggie intake? Eat as much of the rainbow as you can. Orange citrus fruits, bright-red tomatoes, purple eggplants and berries, and dark, leafy greens all contain different vitamins and minerals.

At each meal, see if you canintroduceone more hue to your main or side dish.Fresh herbs add a dash of green to brothy soups; orange andredpeppers can brighten up a dull egg dish; berries can provide a pop of blue andpurpleto yogurt.

Fill Up on Fruits

Some call them natures candy for a good reason. Fruits make excellent desserts, and theyre also a key part of a healthy diet, filled with disease-fighting nutrients. Plus, theyre lower in fat and added sugars than other sweet options.

Cut up melon, papaya, and mango, and top with fruit-flavored yogurt for a tropical treat. Sample a more exotic variety, like pomegranate orstarfruit. And when it comes to pies, pumpkin beats pecanits still sweet, butit has aboutone-third of the sugar and calories.

Start the Day Right

Skipping breakfast will likely only make you hungrier later in the day and more prone to overeating unhealthy foods. Plus, your morning meal represents a prime opportunity to boost your diet with produce. Only 10 percentof foods typically consumed at breakfast are fruits or vegetables,according to the CDC.

Upgrade your day early with a veggie-rich omelet swap out one egg or half the cheese and stir in spinach, onions, and mushrooms. Slice bananas or strawberries into cereal. Or, try a special holiday-themed bowl stir dried cranberries or cooked canned pumpkin, and pie spices like nutmeg and cinnamon into oatmeal.

At Night, Sleep Tight

Finishing out the evening with a good nights rest can also go a long way in keeping you on track. When youre sleep-deprived, youre more likely to eat mindlesslyand crave high-fat, high-sugarfoods.

Aim for seven to eight hours a night. Try to go to bed and get upat thesame time every day. Keep your bedroom quiet, relaxing, darkand free of lighted screens, which disrupt your slumber.

An evening routine, such as listening to calming seasonal tunes, can help you wind down. And try not to eat a large, heavy meal too close to bedtime.

Take a Walk

Walking is always an excellent way to fit more activity into your day. Start your mornings with a walk around the block or up and down the stairs. If you have holiday errands, park farther away from your destination so you can get in a few more steps.

When youre doing sedentary activities whether working, writing holiday cards, or watching seasonal movies take periodic breaks for a stroll in your neighborhood. Try to make your motion add up to 150 minutes per week that's at least 20 minutes a day, or 30 minutes five days aweek.

Try Some Music

Weather outside too frightful? Get creative with indooractivities.Turn on your favorite holiday tunes with their spritely rhythmsits a sure-fire way to get the whole family moving.

Some gyms or fitness instructors offer holiday exercise challenges, such as doing a certain number of squats or push-ups each day. Search YouTube for options, or start your own. You can award prizes to your family or recruit faraway friends as a way to stay connected.

Make Time for You

Clearing space in your day for activities you enjoy isnt selfish or a luxury its a critical way of managing stress and your mental health. Whether it's a nap, a hot bath, an engaging book, or relaxing music, carving out a few minutes for you will restore your energy so you can handle the next challenge.

Or, simply unwind and take a few deep breaths. Remind yourself that your emotions arevalid andrealbut even strong ones will fade.

Create New Holiday Memories

Many of our normal holiday activities will look different this year. Plan new activities focused on connection, movement, and fun and not just around sitting and eating.

Sign up for a turkey trot family run or holiday dash race, either in real life or virtually. Walk-and-talk dates with your family and friends, ice skating, or taking a bike ride past holiday lights when the weather is safe can add a festive mood to your day, all while boosting your health and well-being. There's no time like the present to start a new tradition.

11 Ways to Stay Healthy This Season - Adventist Review

Before Covid-19, an ordinary evening for Tim Ludford, a charity worker, looked something like this: after-work drinks with colleagues; an Uber home; a takeaway. Not healthy takeaways, either, says Ludford, 37, from London. He would polish off a curry for two people before nailing a bag of Maltesers or a packet of biscuits.

Ludfords relationship with food began to deteriorate after the death from cancer of his father in 2013. I was unhappy, first of all, and I was bingeing on food and alcohol as a coping mechanism, he says. A lot of it was related to my dad, but I was also stuck in a rut and food was an easy way to make myself feel good. By the time lockdown was introduced, he was severely obese, with a BMI of 40. (A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, according to the NHS.) Sometimes Id do crazy things, he says. If I was on the way to meet someone for dinner, Id go to KFC on the way. And then Id eat dinner as well.

Then Covid-19 hit. Ludford was too scared of the transmission risk to order a takeaway. The pubs were not open. I started cooking at home, he says. Soups, salads healthy stuff. He was furloughed and began to struggle with anxiety, in part related to the pandemic, but also related to his health. His dad had had a heart attack before he died, and Ludford began to panic that he would, too. The sudden death of a friend from a heart condition, in April, sent him to a dark place. It was like all this anxiety I had been pushing away, about my health and my weight, suddenly opened a crack, he says. And, because I was on furlough, I had time to focus on it. Everything fell apart. My brain decided that this was my comeuppance: I was going to have a heart attack, as payback for the irresponsible lifestyle Id been leading.

Ludford spoke to a GP about his anxiety, who recommended exercise and referred him for counselling. So, he started walking: 2km became 5km became 10km, he says. And he exercised to videos he found on YouTube. At first, he could not manage a single burpee, but after a few months, he was flinging himself on and off the floor with ease. The exercise was the only thing that really helped me to get a handle on my anxiety, he says. Exercise kept the wheels on the bus. Seven months on, Ludford has lost 34kg (5st 5lb) and is no longer severely obese. But the weight loss is secondary to his mental wellbeing he feels like himself again. Everything came together at the same time, he says. Lockdown was the trigger.

While lockdown was a period of indulgence for many of us who can blame anyone for looking at a world in freefall, with political leaders squabbling like children, and reaching for the biscuit tin? the enforced stillness of 2020 gave some people the time and headspace to embrace a more active lifestyle. Freed from the shackles of the commute and the lure of late-night pub sessions, an overhaul was in reach. Fiona Gillison, a chartered psychologist and behaviour-change expert at the University of Bath, says: The pandemic reduced the barriers that many people have to leading healthier lifestyles by giving them more time at home or dedicated time to exercise.

Gillison believes that the fact the government made exercise one of the only exemptions from the Covid-19 restrictions during lockdown helped reinforce the notion that it was a priority, even during a pandemic. We were allowed out for one hour a day for exercise, and that was one of the only things we were allowed to do, she says. Thats quite strong public health messaging. In effect, the government was saying: Look, this is worth leaving the house for; this is worth the risk. Exercise also became social: families traipsing out for walks together, friends meeting for a hike.

Plus, during lockdown, there was not much else to do. Sue Wild, 67, a retired midwife from Birmingham, says: I thought to myself: what else am I doing? I might as well try to get fit. Wild has never been an exercise fan: she completed the NHSs Couch to 5K app a few years ago, for a bet, but it did not stick. This summer, for want of anything to do, she downloaded it again and started running once more. It was strange, she says. I never enjoyed it before. But I think, because Im not going out as much, its nice to have a bit of time to look around and feel like things are normal.

Initially, I was only doing this because I had nothing to do. But it went on for so long that it became a habit

The pandemic is more dangerous for older people, obese people and those with underlying health conditions. I know that Covid-19 isnt going anywhere, says Wild, who is just outside the age bracket (70-plus) in which she would be most at risk from the virus. So, I have to be the fittest that I can be. I just feel like, if I did get it, Id want to give myself the best shot possible for a good recovery.

She is not alone. A recent study from University College London, which tracked 5,395 people via a smartphone app, found that over-65s were among the most active of all the groups surveyed throughout lockdown and increased their physical activity levels the most once the lockdown restrictions were eased. It was also the only age group to become more active during the pandemic than beforehand.

In July, prompted largely by the prime ministers spell in intensive care Johnson believes he was hospitalised with the virus due to his weight the government announced an anti-obesity strategy. (Critics pointed out that the measures did little to address the structural reasons for obesity, such as inequality.) The messaging appears to be working, at least for Ludford. I am very aware of how obesity is a risk factor, he says. That was a big motivation to get down to a healthy BMI.

For Shae Eccleston, 42, a consultant from Dunstable in Bedfordshire, it was a way to sort out her chronic insomnia, not just for her own health, but so that she could be there for her family. Five members of her family fell ill with Covid-19 at the same time her mum, her grandfather, her grandmother and two aunts. I was doing a lot of supermarket shops and making sure they were taken care of, she says. I just knew that I could not afford to get sick. I had to be resting. I couldnt afford to be knocked down as well.

Before the pandemic, she averaged two to four hours sleep a night. Ive always been bad at sleeping. My mum says that, even when I was a baby, I was always awake. It was a good night, if I fell asleep before the sun came up, she says. But her familys brush with Covid-19 thankfully, everyone pulled through was a wakeup call. Now, she puts her phone on Do Not Disturb, listens to ASMR videos, and has made her bedroom a screen-free zone. (Previously, she would often work on her laptop in bed.) Ive been getting a good six hours sleep a night, she says. To other people, thats nothing. But its huge for me.

It is easier to form better habits if your lifestyle has been upended. Covid disrupted all of our routines, says Gillison. When you have to create a new routine, your old habits are disrupted and youre more in charge of how you shape your own life. That will play a role in why people may be embracing healthier behaviours. Covid-19 acted as a jolt for many. Ludford had tried dry January and health kicks before, but nothing stuck. Suddenly, going on as normal wasnt an option, he says. Before, Id been able to live a certain lifestyle. And then this big interruption came along. Eccleston, too, thinks she would have continued in her old ways late-night phone calls to friends, working in her bedroom until the early hours were it not for the shock of lockdown. Suddenly, everything changed and I got a new mindset, she says.

When so much is out of your hands, exercise is something you can control. Theres something about the sense of autonomy you get from exercise, says Gillison. Youre doing it for your own reasons, rather than because someone told you to. With Ludford on furlough, exercise gave him a sense of drive and purpose. Ive felt so stuck this year, he says. You cant plan ahead in your life the way you want to or are used to. Exercise has enabled me to focus on a series of goals that I can achieve.

For many people, upping their exercise helped them deal with the stress and anxiety of living through a pandemic. I know my own mental health quite well, says Tom Firth, 33, a teacher from Yorkshire. If I dont do something productive with my day, I start to dislike myself. Before lockdown, he often worked 12-hour shifts, treating the summer holidays as a period for recharging. Id think that I should be healthier, but I never had the time, so I just gradually ignored it and got more and more unfit, he says.

In Firths defence, British people work some of the longest hours in Europe an average of 42 hours a week in 2018, two hours more than the EU average and the equivalent of an extra two and a half weeks a year. Studies have shown that working longer hours is bad for your mental and physical health, contributing to physical inactivity and an increased risk of depression. In the early weeks of Covid-19, Firth took advantage of his downtime to watch appalling amounts of TV: The entirety of Tiger King in an afternoon, that sort of thing.

But he could feel his mental health deteriorating, so he got on his exercise bike. Firth set himself the goal of cycling 1,000 miles a month, tracking his miles on a spreadsheet. During the Tour de France, he cycled along; now, he watches Parks and Recreation on the bike. Firth credits his exercise regimen with giving him the resilience to get through the pandemic. He has also lost 20kg. Exercising for an hour a day has done wonders for my mental health, he says. It releases all these lovely chemicals. Its literally addictive.

Will these habits stick when people return to their old lifestyles? Firth thinks so: even though the new school year has started, he is keeping to his routine. Initially, I was only doing this because I had nothing to do, he says. But it went on for so long that it became a habit. And Im proud of that. The best way to make anything stick is to build it into your everyday routine. It is much easier to do something over the long term if it becomes a habit, says Gillison. Habits occur when youve already done the decision-making, so the cue to act becomes an automatic part of your day.

She also recommends that people embark on diet or fitness changes with friends, for motivation and accountability. Social support is key, Gillison says. Finding someone to do the activity with, in person or virtually, or even just showing interest and encouraging you to keep going, is helpful, she says.

After gaining 3.6kg during lockdown, Wild has been following the NHS weight loss plan, a diet devised by doctors to help people lose weight at a safe and sustainable rate, with her husband. Ive tried to lose weight before, but it was a nightmare, making two meals and having all this tempting food around, she says. Whats been great this time is having my husband do it with me. I want to get fit for my older age, Wild says. I dont feel old at all. But I know that Covid is worse if youre older, and overweight.

Gillison warns that health anxiety is not in itself enough to sustain a long-term change: it is easy to become complacent once the initial alarm has worn off. The public will hear the message that Covid is more dangerous for the obese and it will get them out of the door a few times, she says. But unless they find something they enjoy doing, it will be a short-term fix.

The most important way to make fitness a habit is to make it fun. We are only able to make ourselves do something for a short amount of time, says Gillison. Its hard to stick at something you find unpleasant, plus you dont get the benefits in terms of the sense of wellbeing when youre doing something you dont like. So, if lockdown was a time of experimentation with various activities, pick the one you enjoyed.

Ludford is confident that he wont slip back into old ways. Ive seen such a huge change in my life, he says. Covid gave me the opportunity to focus on the things that were undermining my mental health. Im not going to go back to how things were before. Its been transformational.

Most people wouldnt pick up on these nuances, but Carlos Velasco does. A professor of marketing at the BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo, he has devoted years to studying how seemingly inconsequential features of packaginglike color, typeface, and soundcan recalibrate what we taste. Hes discovered that angular, asymmetrical fonts make us perceive foods as sour, while we tie round, symmetrical writing to sweetness. That cloud-like Airheads lettering? To your brain, its positively saccharine.If theres a case in which typeface clearly contributes to the taste, it is this one, Velasco says.

You can see this phenomenon all across the candy aisle: Reeses deploys fonts that look almost creamy. Starburst lettering seems to curl backward, like someone scrawled it across a sphere. On the flip side, companies selling sour candieslike Warheads or Brain Blasterzpackage their products with far more angularity. The writing on Brain Blasterz, a line of sour candies and candy sprays, looks claustrophobic, with sharp angles on the B andZ.

Candy companies, with their eccentric fonts and sharp flavors, offer a clear illustration of a broader shift in grocery stores. Over the last two decades, food and drink packaging has become far more scientificand companies have figured out how to use tiny details, like typeface, to guide what we taste.
