It really is scary. The healthy heart check is given to foods that are obviously not good for us. There was recently criticism of this here in New Zealand, and the heart association defended its position by saying that a heart health check is given to a food in each category. So if the entire food category is is unhealthy, the least toxic one will get the heart association seal of approval. It is blatant commercialism. A bit like the ADA going into a partnership with Schweppes
