“…The food consumption and nutrient intake of South African whites mostly formed part of research on nutritional status or noncommunicable diseases. These studies generally described the eating patterns and food intake of whites as Western (Walker, 1982;Wolmarans et al, 1989;Walker, 1992). The Western eating pattern is characterised by three meals per day with in-between snacks and a weekend meal pattern that differs from the weekday pattern.…”

OPSOMMINGSuid-Afrika is 'n ontwikkelende land met 'n sosioekonomies heterogene en multikulturele samelewing. 'n Voedingsoorgangsfase is waargeneem, gekenmerk deur 'n verandering in eetgewoontes -van 'n tradisionele patroon na 'n patroon wat 'n tipies Westerse lewenstyl weerspieël, met die gepaardgaande risko vir die ontwikkeling van nie-oordraagbare siektetoestande wat met die Westerse lewenstyl geassosieer word. Inligting omtrent eetgewoontes, voedselvoorkeure en eetpatrone kan gebruik word om die negatiewe gevolge van "voeding in oorgang" te voorkom, asook vir spyskaartbeplanning.Beperkte inligting is beskikbaar oor die eetgewoontes en voedselvoorkeure van die Suid-Afrikaanse bevolking. Die eetgewoontes en voedselvoorkeure van mans (16-25 jaar) uit sewe etniese groepe in die Suid-Afrikaanse bevolking is bepaal. Hierdie mans was dienspligtig in die Suid-Afrikaanse Weermag ten tye van die studie (1993( tot Maart 1994. Die resultate van die studie het daarop gedui dat die sewe etniese groepe (blank, kleurling, NoordSotho, Suid-Sotho, Tswana, Xhosa en Zoeloe) in twee groepe verdeel kan word. Daar is bevind dat die blankes en kleurlinge, wat 'n tipies Westerse eetpatroon en voedselvoorkeure gerapporteer het, 'n groep vorm, terwyl die vyf swart etniese groepe, wat deels tradisionele eetgewoontes in kombinasie met Westerse eetgewoontes volg, saam gegroepeer kan word.Die eetgewoontes en voedselvoorkeure van die blanke en kleurlingmans word in hierdie artikel gerapporteer. -Mrs AT Viljoen

Objective: To measure dietary intakes of young children aged 12-24 months and to determine the impact of poor diets on stunting. Design: A quantitative food-frequency questionnaire was adapted, tested and standardised. Trained enumerators conducted in-depth interviews with the mothers/caregivers of the children. Forty stunted children in urban informal settlements and 30 stunted children in rural areas were selected and pair-matched with controls. The data were captured on the Food Finder Program of the Medical Research Council. Results: In both urban and rural areas, the diet of stunted and non-stunted groups did differ significantly and all diets were of poor nutritional quality. Conclusion: Diets in both areas resembled the recommended prudent diet, i.e. low in fat and high in carbohydrates. Poor quality diets were not the primary cause of stunting.

“…Traditional diets throughout most of the world were once high in carbohydrate and fiber and low in fat [1]. As populations became more affluent, animal products and oils became more readily available and the percentage of energy intake from fat increased.…”

Dietary fiber prevents carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia

Plant foods rich in carbohydrate and dietary fiber have many health benefits. One concern often expressed about higher carbohydrate, lower fat diets is that they may increase fasting serum triglycerides. Recently the importance of hypertriglyceridemia as an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease has been reaffirmed. For 40 years, clinicians have noted "carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia" when persons were fed high-carbohydrate, low-fiber diets. The role of fiber in protecting from carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia has not been discussed by many reviewers. Systematic review of the literature documents that high fiber intakes clearly protect from carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia. These are reviewed. Thus, recent and earlier research indicates that use of a higher carbohydrate, higher fiber diet compared with a lower carbohydrate, higher fat diet is associated with a small reduction in fasting serum triglyceride values.
