🚨New Perspective on Ultra-processed Foods🚨 Just like cigarettes, it's time to consider serious warnings on ultra-processed products. Recent research published on February 16, 2024, in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition suggests that the consumption of ultra-processed foods may be so closely linked to human health risks that it deserves a warning label: "May Kill". Is this an exaggeration? Accumulated evidence through systematic reviews with meta-analyses urges us to rethink our relationship with these products. The implication is clear: what we eat not only affects our short-term health but has profound and lasting implications. As professionals, consumers, and human beings, we have the responsibility to inform ourselves and make conscious decisions about our diet. Public health is at stake, and this study adds a critical layer of understanding to the conversation about nutrition and well-being.

In this latest interview with Just Food, our Food and Nutrition experts, Edward Bergen and Sukanya Nag, discuss the market and consumer impact of the increase in the price of cocoa. Sukanya cautions about imminent price hikes due to deteriorating climatic conditions in key cocoa-producing regions while Edward refers to how chocolate players are trying to mitigate the impact on consumers while taking on some of those increasing costs.

Trying to eat a more plant-based diet? Focus on whole foods. The processed plant-based substitutes are often not very healthy. https://lnkd.in/gmfqUPbF

📊 It's #ManuscriptMonday! 🌱 Researchers implemented a systematic review on the nutritional, health, and environmental effects of novel plant-based foods (NPBFs) in high-income countries, revealing that NPBFs generally have lower environmental impacts than animal-based foods. To promote informed policymaking, the results suggest that future priorities should include determining nutritional standards and labeling, researching health effects, and standardizing environmental impact assessments. ✨ Read more: https://buff.ly/4eJQonO #PlantFood #HealthyEating #SustainableFood #Nutrition #PlanetaryHealth Nutrition Reviews

We're living longer, but the duration of healthy life is shrinking [according to the latest World Economic Forum and Accenture report]. Who's responsible? Nutrition. After the Second World War, the global food system prioritized providing cheap, high-calorie food to support a growing population. Now, everyone needs to do their part to correct this — food producers, manufacturers, distributors, governments, public institutions, and consumers. Maintaining a healthy and sustainable diet is not just a choice; it's a responsibility. Access to information isn’t the issue—it’s making sense of it that poses a challenge. Nutrition should be our priority. Do you have a trusted source?

When Uriel, co-founder of Else Nutrition, welcomed his granddaughter Roni into the world, he never imagined the challenges they'd face. Roni couldn't tolerate soy or dairy-based formulas, leaving few options for her #nutrition. Driven by love and determination, Uriel recalled an old family recipe incorporating real, wholefood ingredients, which helped nurture Roni back to health. That early formula version of Else Nutrition became a labor of love (and was followed by 7 years of R&D into what Else formula is today) - proving that clean, plant-based nutrition can make a world of difference. Today, Roni thrives, and so does the vision of bringing uncompromised, Clean and complete nutrition to little ones everywhere. 🌱💚 #FamilyDriven #PlantBasedNutrition #ElseNutrition #HealthyKids

🌿✨ Why #PlantBasedNutrition Matters! ✨🌿 As we navigate our busy lives, it's essential to make choices that benefit our health and the planet. Plant-based nutrition is one of the most impactful ways to achieve this balance. Here’s why: 1. #HealthBenefits: Plant-based foods are rich in essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. They can help lower the risk of chronic diseases, improve digestion, and boost overall energy levels. 2. #Sustainability: By choosing plant-based options, we reduce our carbon footprint, conserve water, and use fewer natural resources. It’s a small change that can make a big difference. 3. #InnovationinFood: The plant-based food industry is evolving rapidly, offering delicious and nutritious alternatives to traditional animal products. From plant-based cheese to protein shakes, there’s something for everyone. Making the switch to a plant-based diet can be a journey, but every step we take brings us closer to a healthier and more sustainable future. Let's embrace plant-based nutrition and make a positive impact on our lives and the world around us! 🌍🌱 #PlantBased #HealthyLiving #Sustainability #Nutrition #EcoFriendly #FutureOfFood #VeganLifestyle #vcrave #vcravefoods

We frequently debate what info nutrition and sustainability #labels should contain, but rarely consider how they should be designed and where they should be placed on products - element hierarchy, dominance and emphasis. Nicely explained in this paper, which also found zero studies exploring design elements in packaging and how they promote healthy choices.
