“…While some states including California, Arkansas, and Wisconsin, have independent surveillance systems that measure adult intake of fruits and vegetables, published metrics derived from those systems are not directly comparable to those developed here. (30, 31) However, it is possible to compare our estimates to national estimates. Using 2007–2010 NHANES 24HRs, NCI reported that 14% of American adult males and 24% of adult females met or exceeded fruit recommendations and 13% and 16% of males and females met or exceeded vegetable recommendations (32).…”

“…Dummy variables were included in models to account for variation due to collecting 24HR on weekends versus weekdays and first versus second 24HR, and also for demographic covariates, poverty-income ratio (PIR)(30) and race/ethnicity. To be consistent with prior work estimating the percent meeting recommendations and to fully account for each person’s intake given all their own covariates, not just population averages, we account for race/ethnicity and PIR to explain some of the variation observable between usual intake and times per day fruits and vegetables are eaten.…”

Most Americans do not eat enough fruits and vegetables with significant variation by state. State-level self-reported frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). However, BRFSS cannot be used to directly compare states’ progress towards national goals because of incongruence in units used to measure intake and because distributions from frequency data are not reflective of usual intake. To help states track progress, we developed scoring algorithms from external data and applied them to 2011 BRFSS data to estimate the percent of each state’s adult population meeting United States Department of Agriculture Food Patterns fruit and vegetable intake recommendations. We used 24 hour dietary recall data from the 2007–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to fit sex- and age-specific models that estimate probabilities of meeting recommendations as functions of reported consumption frequency, race/ethnicity, and poverty-income ratio adjusting for intra-individual variation. Regression parameters derived from these models were applied to BRFSS to estimate percent meeting recommendations. We estimate that 7–18% of state populations met fruit recommendations and 5–12% met vegetable recommendations. Our method provides a new tool for states to track progress towards meeting dietary recommendations.

“…fruit, vegetables and dairy) [39, 40] are comparable with similar dietary interventions in different populations and settings. Study participants reported an average of 4.4 servings of fruit and vegetables at baseline, which may be higher than usual intake of the general US adult population, possibly due to greater access to fruit and vegetables in California [41, 42]. Generally, US adults who have lower fruit and vegetable intake may have a higher likelihood of observing an improvement in overall diet quality with the intervention.…”

Rigorous research on the benefit of healthy eating patterns for asthma control is lacking. We randomised 90 adults with objectively confirmed uncontrolled asthma and a low-quality diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) scores <6 out of 9) to a 6-month DASH behavioural intervention (n=46) or usual-care control (n=44). Intention-to-treat analyses used repeated-measures mixed models. Participants were middle-aged, 67% female and multiethnic. Compared with controls, intervention participants improved on DASH scores (mean change (95% CI) 0.6 (0, 1.1) versus −0.3 (−0.8, 0.2); difference 0.8 (0.2, 1.5)) and the primary outcome, Asthma Control Questionnaire scores (−0.2 (−0.5, 0) versus 0 (−0.3, 0.3); difference −0.2 (−0.5, 0.1)) at 6 months. The mean group differences in changes in Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire overall and subdomain scores consistently favoured the intervention over the control group: overall 0.4 (95% CI 0, 0.8), symptoms 0.5 (0, 0.9), environment 0.4 (−0.1, 1.0), emotions 0.4 (−0.2, 0.9) and activities 0.3 (0, 0.7). These differences were modest, but potentially clinical significant. The DASH behavioural intervention improved diet quality with promising clinical benefits for better asthma control and functional status among adults with uncontrolled asthma. A full-scale efficacy trial is warranted.

The impact of this demand in the developed countries has promoted production and processing capacity, assuring the offering of these products in the international market (Cairns et al, 2020, Silva e Claro, 2019, Sugerman et al, 2011, Maia et al, 2009.…”

This work aimed to study beverages' storage stability based on cashew apple pulp and honey during 120 days. Three formulations were prepared: F1 (75% of cashew apple pulp and 25% of honey; F2 (60% of cashew apple pulp and 40% of honey) and F3 (50% of cashew apple pulp and 50% of honey). The formulation F1 showed the highest content of ascorbic acid after storage (95.74 mg.100mL). The pH did not show variation between the formulations studied. Soluble solids showed significant differences during storage and were consistent with the drink's honey content, ranging from 28.8 to 30.0 for F1, from 36.5 to 40.1 for F2, and 44.3 to 47.7 for F3. The content of carotenoids and phenolic compounds decreased during storage time. The preparation of beverages based on cashew apple and honey presented an alternative to adding value to the cashew apple pulp.
