The author does not seem to go into details, so I am curious what actually surprising conclusions can be drawn from wearing one of these devices?

Croissants and muffins being unhealthy should be no surprise. I am more interested in findings like food that gets a bad rap being not that unhealthy and supposedly healthy food being bad.

Pizza is much more nutritionally complete than you'd think, especially if it has meat(or beans, for some reason), the only real problem is people eat SO MUCH at a time.

People also refuse to understand that juice is basically sugar water with some extra flavor, vitamins, and antioxidants that don't change how unhealthy it is for you.

White rice is basically pure carbs with barely any nutrients.

Fastfood is heavily processed but often contains enough vegetables, meat, etc to not be that bad all things told.

I am reasonably sure carbohydrates are nutrients.
