It found that consumers tend to view food products labeled with health-related euphemisms as healthier than those without them.
But its name is giving you this clue that there is some sort of health benefit to something that is not healthy at all.
The study also looks at the priming psychology behind the words to explain why certain words prompt consumers to assign a health benefit to a food product with unhealthy ingredients.
This leaves them susceptible to poor health and predators as they won't be as strong so less likely to go on to breed and repopulate.

Collaboration between registered dietitian nutritionists dietetic technicians registered and oral health-care professionals is recommended for health promotion disease prevention
The practice paper Oral Health and Nutrition has been published on the Academy's website for Academy members
This practice paper supports the Academy's position paper on oral health and nutrition published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in May 2013.
It is the position of the Academy that nutrition is an integral component of oral health.
and nutritional factors that may affect a person's oral health. Health-care professionals should address the importance of food choices to help ensure optimal oral health by explaining how oral health status can affect their food intake.
The multifaceted interactions between diet nutrition and oral health in practice education and research in both dietetics and dentistry merit collaborative efforts to ensure comprehensive care for patients and clients according to the practice paper's authors.
The practice paper encourages food and nutrition practitioners to educate their patients and clients on important aspects of nutritional health that lead to oral health:

WHO reportlarge graphic health warnings on tobacco packets in China would increase awareness about the harms of smoking help to cut smoking rates
These are the key findings from a new report Tobacco health warnings in China--Evidence of effectiveness
--or'graphic'--health warnings on all tobacco packages in China Dr Bernhard Schwartlã¤nder WHO Representative in China said.
This means the average smoker is exposed to a health warning more than 6200 times in one year simply through the act of getting each cigarette from the pack.
therefore an incredibly effective way of warning smokers about the health hazards of smoking and encouraging them to quit.
Our research in China shows that the current text-only Chinese health warnings are very ineffective.
Revising the current health warnings in line with THE WHO FCTC and its Guidelines would increase awareness about smoking-related harms in China
Tobacco-related noncommunicable diseases pose a serious threat to the health and life of the Chinese people also creating a heavy burden on socioeconomic development said Dr Liang Xiaofeng Deputy Director of the Chinese Center for disease control and Prevention.
