My problem with this method is that my body does not burn the food in the same way. And, it doesn't burn every food in a way similar to every other food.

I get that it's the best scientists could think of 100+ years ago. But putting averaged numbers derived from this absurd method on labels as if they are how my (!!) body works, and deriving all kinds of "food science" conclusions and recommendations from it is imo willful ignorance in the name of convenience.
