To determine the differences in environmental impact and nutrient content of current Dutch diet four healthy diets aimed at lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.GHG emissions (as proxy for impact) adhering to food based dietary guidelines (Wheel Five), were compared a scenario study. Scenarios included with or without meat, same which only foods relatively low GHG are chosen. For diet, data from National Food Consumption Survey 2007-2010 used. (in kg CO2-equivalents) on life cycle...
Abstract Purpose Recently, an update of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) method ReCiPe was released: 2016. The aim this study to analyse effect using instead previous version: 2008. Do absolute outcomes change significantly and if so, does lead different conclusions result-based recommendations? Methods cycle assessments (LCAs) were conducted for 152 foods which cradle-to-plate inventories available that together are estimated account 80% total greenhouse gas emissions, land use...
Abstract Guidelines for a healthy diet aim to decrease the risk of chronic diseases. It is unclear as what extent also an environmentally friendly diet. In Dutch sub-cohort European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, was assessed with 178-item FFQ 40 011 participants aged 20–70 years between 1993 1997. The WHO’s Healthy Diet Indicator (HDI), Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension (DASH) score index 2015 (DHD15-index) were investigated in relation greenhouse gas (GHG)...
Food consumption patterns affect the environment as well public health, and monitoring is needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate Dutch food for environmental (greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions blue water use) health aspects (Dutch Healthy Diet index 2015), according age, gender, moments. data 4313 participants aged 1 79 years were assessed in 2012 2016, by two non-consecutive 24-h recalls. impact foods quantified using a life cycle assessment for, e.g., indicators GHG use. healthiness...
The typical Western diet is associated with high levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and obesity other diet-related diseases. This study aims to determine the impact adjustments current at specific moments food consumption, lower GHG improve quality. Food consumption in Netherlands was assessed by two non-consecutive 24-h recalls for adults aged 19–69 years (n = 2102). emission evaluated use life cycle assessments. population stratified gender according tertiles dietary emission....
Background: The current food system has major consequences for the environment and human health. Alignment of policy areas mitigating climate change public health will ensure coherent effective interventions sustaining environment. This paper explores literature on demand-side policies that aim to reduce consumption animal-based foods, increase plant-based overconsumption. Methods: We searched publications, published between January 2000 December 2019, considering above domains. Articles...
To study the iodine concentration in semi-skimmed cow's milk available on Dutch market.The content of 16 brands was determined at four times (June, September, December 2016 and March 2017) using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Brands included 12*pasteurized (n = 48 samples) 4*UHT milk, subdivided into 8* organic 8*conventional (each 32 samples).The median 15.9 μg/100 g. The increased from June to 2017 12.4 g 19.9 time trend with difference between summer winter stronger than...
The aim of this study was to determine the environmental impact, nutrient intake, appreciation and tastiness three buffet-style lunches served at workplace, consisting (1) animal-based foods; (2) plant-based (3) both foods. Employees National Institute for Public Health Environment in Netherlands participated study. Participants scored lunch (scores from 1 10). Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions land use associated with foods consumed were calculated using life cycle assessments. Nutrient intake...
Abstract Introduction Food consumption is important for population as well planetary health. Globally, fresh water a scarce resource. For both use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions risk of exceeding the boundaries exists. production accounts approximately 90% global footprint 30% emissions. In this study, Dutch food patterns are evaluated blue emission its association with dietary quality (Dutch Healthy Diet index 2015). Materials Methods was assessed, in 2012–2016, by two non-consecutive...
