Imagine you are visiting a grocery store. You are walking through the deli section, looking for something to eat at home during the week. You know that some food producers use unhealthy additives to make their food look or taste better or last longer, so you are checking the ingredients on the packages to make sure you avoid these toxic foods. You come across a package of turkey with ammonium phosphate on its ingredients list. You think it might be an okay thing to put in your body but want to know for sure, so you do a quick search and start reading an article about ammonium-based ingredients. Before long, you notice you have been standing there for 2 minutes trying to decide whether or not this food is going to cause harm to your body. You want to move on with life and not waste any more time, and, slightly annoyed, you throw the turkey into the cart and continue shopping. Because of the difficulties of properly vetting foods while shopping, you bought deli meat containing an ingredient known to cause digestive issues. FoodSelect solves this problem. By quickly pointing your camera at the barcode or ingredients list on food packages, you will immediately see what ingredients have undesirable health effects and what they are. FoodSelect has health effects information on every ingredient you will see in a grocery store. It flags them with a color (red, yellow, or green) to indicate how healthy each ingredient is for you. Furthermore, you can use FoodSelect to choose foods that provide the health benefits you want in your life. Our data contains over 200 unique health benefits that foods can offer, from enhancing cognitive function and athletic performance to preventing cancer. This is where FoodSelect stands out from other ingredients scanning apps – no other app provides the range of information on health benefits that FoodSelect does. FoodSelect is developed by healthy eaters for healthy eaters. The data we compile on ingredients is the continuing result of months of reading scientific articles on the health effects of each individual ingredient. We consider many people’s desired health outcomes, and therefore record a wide range of health effects that covers most of the aspects of health a person might care about. Because FoodSelect was developed by people who care deeply about their diet and want to use the app for their own health also, you can expect the quality of information that comes from sincere effort and personalized motivation. Features of the app: • Scan ingredients from barcodes or text • Search for ingredients from a list of every ingredient you can find • Ingredients flagged with green, yellow, or red depending on their health outcomes • FoodSelect Score calculated based on a score for each ingredient as rated by careful consumers • Health benefits of each ingredient • Drawbacks of each ingredient • Complete coverage of possible ingredients – We doubt you will find an ingredient that is not represented in our database We leave you with the idea that deeply influences our philosophy on food: Food can either be the best medicine or the slowest form of poison. Make it the first one.
