Stars used to rate foods for nutrition (AP)

Juices that received one star on the Guiding Stars system because of high sugar content are seen at a Hannaford Supermarkets location Sunday Sept. 3 2006 in Latham N.Y. The rankings are based on federal guidelines with points earned for meeting recommended levels of nutrients like fiber and taken away for having too much of the bad stuff--like saturated fats and sugar. 'You don't have to have a nutrition degree to understand it' said Caren Epstein spokeswoman for Hannaford based in Scarborough Maine. The system gives shoppers a good baseline for understanding healthy eating said Cathy Nonas a registered nutritionist with the American Dietetic Association. (AP Photo/Candace Choi)AP - Shredded wheat gets 3 stars. Baked beans 1 star. Doritos no stars. Those movie-style ratings for food launched by a New England grocery chain take nutritional hand-holding to a new level.
