Several high-income countries have announced plans to reduce the animal-to-plant (A:P) protein ratios in their population diets. Their current A:P ratio is around 65:35, with two thirds of coming from animal sources, meat, eggs, and dairy. Efforts dietary 50:50, 40:60, or below are sometimes referred as a "healthy transition." Analyses Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) World Bank data were used show that an opposing far more important transition taking place globally. In most low- middle-income (LMIC), was closely associated with, if not determined, by gross national incomes (GNI). As rise, LMIC populations adopt varied nutrient-rich diets proteins especially meat. This transition, manifested strong observed relation between rising higher ratios, follows well-known principle economics known Bennett's Law. Consumer education regulatory policy measures aimed at reducing worldwide may uncouple fundamental powerful economic forces global diet structures.

Impact of ultra-processed foods consumption on the burden of obesity and type 2 diabetes in Belgium: a comparative risk assessment

BMC Public Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 25(1)

Published: March 22, 2025

A high consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been related to several chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. This study aimed estimate the proportion burden diabetes in Belgium that could be attributed UPFs. comparative-risk assessment framework was used. literature search a dose-response meta-analysis between UPFs intake were performed. The risks extracted from curve extrapolated mean by strata (5-year age category/sex/region) using 2014/2015 Belgian Food Consumption Survey. population attributable fraction then calculated for prevalence diabetes, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) From meta-analysis, every 10% increase (g/day), there 13% risk developing (RR:1.13, 95%IC 1.12-1.15, p<0.001) energy (kcal/day), 5% (RR:1.05, 0.99-1.13, p=0.1321). Using these estimates, 21% cases (277 056/1 286 454) intake. Similarly, 2014/2015, 23% (53 348/227 502) 24% DALYs (7 998/34 034) consumption. sizeable impact on emphasizes need design implement policies address UPF Belgium.
