Demographics like gender, marital status, education level and location are amongst some of the main characteristics of the focus groups for the development of a new product [2].…”

Nowadays, one of the strongest factors affecting consumers’ choice at the moment of purchasing food products is their nutritional features. The population is increasingly aware of the diet–health relationship and they are opting for a healthy lifestyle. Concerns with the increasing number of heart-related diseases, which are associated to the consumption of fats, are placing the functional food market in a relevant growth position. Considering that, our goal was to develop, under semi-industrial processing conditions, a healthy meat-based spreadable product (pâté) with reduced fat content through replacement of pork fat by healthier structured oil. Beeswax was used to develop an edible oleogel based on linseed oil with a high content of linolenic acid. A decrease of the hardness and adhesivity was verified for pâtés with oleogel incorporation. Linseed oil inclusion was the main factor leading to an increase of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) content in pâté samples. A decrease up to 90% in the n-6/n-3 (omega-6/omega-3) ratio can signify a better nutritional value of the obtained pâté samples, which can result in a possible upsurge in omega-3 bioavailability through digestion of these pâtés. This could be an interesting option for the consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, targeting, for example, the reduction of cardiovascular diseases.

“…However, vegans are also prone to deficiencies in omega-3 fatty acids, iron, calcium, vitamin B 12 , vitamin B 2 and B 3 , zinc, vitamin D, and iodine, which can become detrimental toward the maintenance of strong immune-system support when combined with a low intake of protein [ 45 , 50 ]. It is also worth mentioning that veganism has been linked to low energy levels, weight fluctuations, hormone disruption, and an increased risk of depression if a well-rounded and balanced diet is not followed [ 52 ].…”

“…There is still much academic and scientific debate about whether veganism is actually considered to be healthier than a typical omnivorous diet. A lifestyle in which one consumes low amounts of meat has been linked to an increase in life expectancy due to a reduction in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, but the associated low protein content as well as vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the vegan diet can weaken the immune system [ 45 , 52 ]. Conflicting studies have yet to agree upon the nutritional soundness of veganism, but many have suggested that a well-balanced and fortified vegan meal plan can overcome many of these perceived health barriers to make the diet sustainable in the long term.…”

Modern Diets and the Health of Our Planet: An Investigation into the Environmental Impacts of Food Choices

2023

Popular modern diets are often seen as a panacea for improving health and promoting weight reduction. While there is a large body of literature reporting the health benefits of popular diets, few studies have described their planetary benefits. Our investigation aims to evaluate the simultaneous impacts of six popular diets within the United States on both human and planetary health. Using carbon footprint databases and representative meal plans, the environmental and health-related impacts of the Standard American, Mediterranean, vegan, paleo, keto, and climatarian diets are compared using the currently available literature. Results indicate that diets that exhibit lower carbon footprints also have positive effects on human health. The diets found to have the lowest environmental impacts were the vegan, climatarian, and Mediterranean diets. These low-carbon-footprint diets can likely be attributed to a reduced reliance on ruminant meat (cattle and sheep) and processed food consumption, while diets with high carbon footprints are more dependent on ruminant meat and saturated fat. Moderate consumption of meats such as chicken, pork, and fish in conjunction with an emphasis on locally grown fruits and vegetables can be maintained without adversely affecting the planetary carbon footprint and with the added benefit of promoting good health. Thus, making simple substitutions within each individual’s diet can be advertised as an effective approach to collectively lower the environmental impact in tandem with improving health and longevity.
