We all know that adverse dietary patterns such as a Western diet containing high amounts of fat
or a diet containing high amounts of refined sugar both of which may contribute to obesity are associated with adverse medical conditions

The team's research is part of a decades-long collaborative study between Penn State and the Geisinger Healthcare System on the effects of nutritional status and diet on the health of more than 20000 older people
At study baseline the team assessed the participants'dietary patterns by calling each of them by telephone four or five times during a 10-month period and asking them about their diets over the previous 24 hours.

Martin Heller and Gregory Keoleian of U-M's Center for Sustainable Systems looked at the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of about 100 foods as well as the potential effects of shifting Americans to a diet
while keeping caloric intake constant diet-related greenhouse gas emissions would increase 12 percent. If Americans reduced their daily caloric intake to the recommended level of about 2000 calories
while shifting to a healthier diet greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by only 1 percent according to Heller and Keoleian.
and environmental agendas are aligned not in the current dietary recommendations Heller said. The paper's findings are especially relevant now
because the USDA Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is for the first time considering food sustainability within the context of dietary recommendations he said.
In its 2010 dietary guidelines USDA recommends that Americans eat more fruits vegetables whole grains fat-free and low-fat dairy products and seafood.
While a drop in meat consumption would help cut diet-related greenhouse gas emissions increased use of dairy products
The U-M researchers found that a switch to diets that don't contain animal products would lead to the biggest reductions in this country's diet-related greenhouse emissions.

but the gap in overall diet quality widened between the rich and the poor. An unhealthy diet is linked closely to cardiovascular disease diabetes and some cancers.
Eating a healthy diet is an important part of the strategy to prevent adverse health outcomes.
Evaluating population trends in diet quality is important because it can offer guidance for public health policy.
A higher AHEI-2010 score indicated a more healthful diet. The index's components were scored from 0 to 10.
However overall dietary quality remains poor indicating room for improvement and presenting challenges for both public health researchers and policy makers.
How could we close the dietary quality gap? First we could restrict benefits to more healthful foods as has been done by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC)
Improving diet and lifestyle is critical for CVD risk reduction in the general population but the large majority of this evidence has come from western countries and hardly any from China.
#Changing global diets is vital to reducing climate change, researchers sayhealthier diets and reducing food waste are part of a combination of solutions needed to ensure food security

When healthy diets were added the model suggests that all three measures combined result in agricultural GHG levels almost halving from their 2009 level--dropping 48%.
%Western diets are increasingly characterised by excessive consumption of food including that of emission-intensive meat and dairy products.

because we believe that most of the current dietary guidelines for patients with diabetes do not reflect recent evidence.
An unhealthy diet has long been considered a major contributor to the development of diabetes but only in the past two decades has this role been confirmed by prospective observational studies and clinical trials.
People who eat a Mediterranean diet with foods such as olive oil whole grains and leafy vegetables and fruits have a lower risk of developing diabetes even
and insulin sensitivity than participants who ate other popular diets. In addition overweight patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who followed the Mediterranean diet had need less for antihyperglycemic medications compared with participants on a low-fat diet.
Overall a variety of eating plans including the Mediterranean low-carbohydrate/low glycemic index and high-protein diets improved glycemic control and cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with diabetes compared with control diets.
This offers patients a range of options for diabetes management. Foods associated with a higher risk of diabetes include red and processed meat sugar-sweetened beverages alcohol in excess quantities and refined grains such as white flour.
The Joslin nutritional guidelines for diabetes recommend a diet with relatively high amounts of healthy fats and protein but moderately low amounts of carbohydrates.

This is especially useful in controlled dietary intervention studies investigating the health benefits of specific diets.

The beneficial effects of the diet on cardiometabolic risk factors such as elevated blood pressure and blood lipids were also greatest in this group.
Several blood biomarkers were assessed to reflect the consumption of different key components of the diet such as serum alpha linoleic acid as a biomarker of canola oil consumption EPA and DHA reflecting fatty

The scientists found that a woodrat's diet determines the composition of its gut microbes.
One group was placed on a diet of rabbit chow and creosote resin. With their gut microbes killed by the antibiotic they were unable to feed on creosote

This research adds to the significant evidence including work previously done in our lab that supports lean beef's role in a heart-healthy diet said Penny M. Kris-Etherton Distinguished Professor of Nutrition Penn State.
This study shows that nutrient-rich lean beef can be included as part of a heart-healthy diet that reduces blood pressure
The DASH eating plan--Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension--is recommended currently by the American Heart Association to lower blood pressure
Lean beef can be enjoyed as the predominant protein source in a DASH-like diet along with fruits vegetables and low-fat dairy to effectively help lower blood pressure in healthy individuals the researchers report in the Journal of Human Hypertension.
This DASH-like diet is called also the BOLD+diet--Beef in an Optimal Lean Diet plus additional protein.
Kris-Etherton and colleagues tested four diets to find the effects on vascular health. The diets tested included the Healthy American Diet
--which served as the control--the BOLD+diet the BOLD diet and the DASH diet.
The control diet consisted of 0. 7 ounces of lean beef per day while the DASH diet included 1. 0 ounce.
The BOLD diet had 4. 0 ounces and the BOLD+diet included 5. 4 ounces of lean beef.
The researchers tested the four different diets with 36 participants between the ages of 30 and 65.
All participants followed each diet at different times throughout the study period. Subjects were assigned randomly an order to follow each of the four diet plans for five weeks each with a break of one week in between each new plan.
Blood pressure was taken at the beginning and end of each diet period. The BOLD+diet was more effective at reducing blood pressure
when compared to the other diets tested. This evidence suggests that it is the total protein intake--not the type of protein--that is instrumental in reducing blood pressure as part of a DASH-like dietary pattern the researchers stated.
