The impact of advertising on nutrition choices has been evaluated. What do the findings tell us regarding advertising's effect on children?
There is strong evidence that advertising can impact the amount of food consumed by children and that they have a preference for branded foods. The research also indicates that children are more likely to choose foods they have seen advertised, whether they are healthy or not. This finding suggests that there may be an opportunity to increase children's intake of healthier foods if they are advertised similarly to unhealthy foods.
