JULY 26 2025-HOW A FOOD APP IS AIDING DIABETIC PATIENTS & A CLOSER LOOK AT THE GROCERY CODE OF CONDUCT Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions and one of the hardest parts of managing it is counting carbs in order to reduce blood sugar. Now an app from a Canadian startup can quickly estimate the carb, calorie, protein and fat levels in your food from just a picture of your plate. I spoke with Dr. Jeff Alfonsi, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of RxFood. And It was set up amid charges of price gouging and unfair practices during the pandemic. Now The Canadian Grocery Code of Conduct is mostly up and running with a set of voluntary guidelines and an office designed to enforce them. I asked the President, Karen Proud, what’s in it for consumers.
