I wonder how well thought out these scores really are. It feels like nutritional suggestions are rather political nowadays and not very exact science. What goes in to the mouth and what goes in to the blood from the gut are two different things. Eat an orange and you give your gut the fabric of the orange to work on. Give your gut the nutrients of the orange, without the orange itself, and you might not get all that much out of it. You get what your gut gives you.
