How Will Americans Eat Next Year? Food Predictions for 2022

Your Heart and Diet: A Heart-Healthy Way to Eat
Experts have long known that animal products like beef, lamb, pork and veal have a disproportionately negative impact on the environment. Raising animals requires more water and land and generates more greenhouse gases than growing protein-rich plants does. “This is a win-win for individuals and our environment,” Dr. Lichtenstein said.

And she discouraged relying on popular plant-based meat alternatives that are ultra-processed and often high in sodium, unhealthy fats and calories, and that “may

SYDNEY, Australia — Good nutrition may be the best anti-aging drug you can find, a new study reveals. Researchers at the University of Sydney say when comparing the benefits of drugs which promote healthy aging and good metabolic health, their study finds nothing beats eating a healthy diet.

How can consumers be empowered to shift to healthy and sustainable diets? Camille Perrin, Senior Food Policy Officer at the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) says that consumer education is important, but ‘is not enough’.
