Which is to say, the Mediterranean diet seems like a pretty good place to start for someone who is looking to eat healthy foods that are also delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article originally appeared on \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/496-what-is-the-mediterranean-diet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America's Test Kitchen\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/124452/what-is-the-mediterranean-diet","authors":["byline_bayareabites_124452"],"categories":["bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_1245"],"tags":["bayareabites_12135","bayareabites_12330","bayareabites_11260","bayareabites_8347"],"featImg":"bayareabites_124455","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_112585":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_112585","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"112585","score":null,"sort":[1475965376000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"across-the-globe-our-diets-are-making-us-sicker-report-finds","title":"Across The Globe, Our Diets Are Making Us Sicker, Report Finds","publishDate":1475965376,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Diet and nutrition are now the biggest risk factors for people's health across the globe, even in poorer countries.

The other risk factors include unsafe sex, alcohol, drug and tobacco use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, which uses some recent data on what people around the world are eating, offers some good news, too. We have fewer hungry people in the world now than a couple of decades ago – only one in 10 people, as opposed to about one in five in 1990. And the number of stunted (a sign of chronic malnutrition) children has decreased from 39.6 percent to 23.8 percent. That means fewer people suffering and dying from insufficient food. This has been possible because of targeted projects to tackle hunger, as well as overall reductions in poverty, better education, improved health care and sanitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As poorer countries have developed over the past couple of decades, many aspects of life in those countries have gotten better, says Haddad, who is now the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.gainhealth.org/\">Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition\u003c/a>, a non-governmental organization. \"More kids go to school, more clean water and sanitation,\" he says. But diet doesn't necessarily get better with higher incomes. Yes, people eat more healthy foods when they earn more money – for example, milk, fruits and seafood. But their consumption of unhealthy foods – processed foods and sugary drinks – increases much more with rising incomes, according to the report. \"These kinds of things, they have very high concentrations of calories,\" says Haddad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the sale of processed foods is growing at the fastest rate in developing countries, the report finds. \"Income is sort of a double-edged sword. It allows us to buy healthy stuff and also unhealthy stuff,\" says Haddad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, the planet is seeing a rapid rise in rates of overweight and obesity. If current trends continue, we may have as many as 3.28 billion overweight and obese people by 2030 (up from 1.33 billion in 2005), the vast majority of them in low- and middle-income countries. For example, in China, \"the combined rate of overweight and obese adults is projected to rise to over 50 percent by 2030,\" the report notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What follows is a concomitant rise in the rates of diet-related health problems. For example, in Nigeria, the number of adults with diabetes is projected to double between 2011 and 2030, from 3.1 million to 6.1 million. Countries like Nigeria are simultaneously facing the burden of hunger, malnutrition, infectious disease, as well as these diet-related, non-communicable diseases that are expensive to treat. The report estimates an annual loss of 10 percent of global GDP from diet-related illnesses. \"Wake up, world!\" says Haddad. \"Our diet is not killing us, but it's making us sick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report blames these trends on changing food environments in most countries. Healthy foods are becoming increasingly expensive the world over, while unhealthy food is becoming cheaper and easier to buy. \"The price of fruits and vegetables is going up and up,\" he says. \"The price of processed foods is going down and down.\" In other words, it is becoming easier and more economical to buy unhealthy foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112587\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/world-diet-3_enl-36c8bc254b44e1bb0fab6826160837745dc79b4e.jpg\" alt=\"Pedestrians visit fast-food restaurants in Mumbai, India.

Along the way, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine made fortunes off their low-calorie, low-fat diet programs and products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it seems those days are over, according to industry analysts and nutritionists. \"Dieting is not a fashionable word these days,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://hnrca.tufts.edu/people/scientists/q-z/susan-b-roberts-ph-d/\">Susan Roberts\u003c/a>, a professor of nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University. \"[Consumers] equate the word diet with deprivation, and they know deprivation doesn't work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mintel, a market research firm, few people are purchasing diet products anymore. A \u003ca href=\"http://store.mintel.com/diet-trends-us-october-2015\">survey\u003c/a> of 2,000 people released by the firm in October found that 94 percent of respondents no longer saw themselves as dieters. They were also disillusioned with the industry: 77 percent of the consumers surveyed said that diet products are not as healthy as they claim to be, and 61 percent said most diets are not actually healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consumers are not dieting in the traditional sense anymore – being on programs or buying foods specific to programs,\" says Marissa Gilbert, an analyst from Mintel who worked on the report. \"And there's greater societal acceptance of different body sizes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's really hurt the dieting industry, Gilbert says. From summer 2014 to summer 2015, Lean Cuisine's frozen meal sales dropped from around $700 million to about $600 million, or about 15 percent. Weight Watchers, Medifast and Jenny Craig have also seen revenues wither over the past few years.

Some give up on losing weight altogether, Roberts adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many people do still want to lose weight, and increasingly they're hoping good nutrition and \"healthy eating\" will get them there, says R.J. Hottovy, a senior equity analyst with market research firm Morningstar. \"Consumers are looking for a more holistic, more health and wellness approach,\" he says. \"The shift in food trends is toward fresher and more natural ingredients.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is there's a lot of disagreement over what a healthy, well-balanced meal looks like. Half of the people in Mintel's survey said they didn't know what to think about nutrition and wellness information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we've reported, even the federal government isn't sure what \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/11/455506222/whats-natural-food-the-government-isnt-sure-and-wants-your-input\">\"natural\u003c/a>\" means.

We know that and we want to walk away from that and focus on eating well and eating healthy,\" she says. The brand has added \"No Preservatives\" and \"Gluten-Free\" and \"Non-GMO\" labels and a new line of frozen meals, certified organic by the nonprofit Oregon Tilth. \"Consumers are demanding some of these things, and we want to offer it to them,\" Lehman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts is unconvinced. She doesn't see the products getting any healthier. \"They can relabel them, but the meals are not any different. If you open a box of Lean Cuisine or something like that, you'll see about a quarter cup of veggies in there. Is that an outstandingly healthy meal? By my standards, it's not.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People will still be hungry and still feel deprived, and may ultimately not meet weight loss goals, she says. \"They'll give healthy eating a bad name just as they gave dieting a bad name.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the evidence suggests that a variety of different strategies may help individuals lose weight.

The more important question is whether we’re eating whole, unprocessed foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, save a few exceptions (like added sugars, which are 100 percent carbohydrate, and oils, which are 100 percent fat), most foods contain two, if not all, of the three macronutrients: carbohydrates, fats, and protein. A quarter-cup serving of pecans, for instance, contains 21 grams of fat, 4 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of protein. A half-cup serving of garbanzo beans, meanwhile, offers 1.5 grams of fat, 20 grams of carbohydrates, and 6 grams of protein. The nuts are usually categorized as a fat, and the beans often as a carbohydrate, because those respective nutrients provide the bulk of those foods’ caloric contributions. In other words, it’s overly simplistic to talk about most food as “carbohydrates” and “fats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make matters more complicated, the “low-fat” and “low-carb” categories in this study may not be all that accurate. For instance, the low-fat group in the study lowered their total fat intake to no more than 30 percent of their daily calories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dr. Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition at New York University and author of \u003cem>Food Politics, What to Eat\u003c/em>, and \u003cem>Why Calories Count\u003c/em> takes issue with that classification. “Fat at 30 percent of calories is just slightly below what Americans consume now, on average,” she says. “The investigators called it low-fat, but it isn’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nestle also points out that the low-carb group was simply eating less. “It’s easier for some people to lose weight if they cut out whole categories of food, in this case, carbohydrates,” she says. But Nestle doesn’t see the latter as a long-term solution. “For that, we need to see results for several years. Studies that examine the effects of different kinds of diets—and there have been many—typically find that all work to the extent that they cut calories, but that people have trouble sticking to extreme diets, which the low-carb was in this study.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When studies comparing carbohydrates to fats go mainstream–and, depending on the study, the victor differs–the subsequent dialogue usually ends up demonizing one of the two nutrients. One is branded a health and weight panacea; the other, a saboteur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the really crucial element missing from this conversation is the one that ultimately has the biggest effect on our health–the way carbohydrates and fats are processed before they’re eaten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Robert Lustig, Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, and author of multiple books, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Chance-bitter-truth-about-ebook/dp/B00A626UYW\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar\u003c/em>\u003c/a> says the “dietary-fat-is-bad” hypothesis “is so dead it’s got rigor mortis.” He points to this study as “one more nail in an airtight coffin.” But, he adds, “The problem is really what this paper doesn’t address. Was it all carb restriction? Was it refined carb restriction? Was it processed food restriction? Or was it sugar restriction?” He also pointed to the fact that the Bazanno study didn’t even break out sugar as a variable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whole, or minimally-processed carbohydrates–vegetables, whole fruit, beans, and whole grains—are very different than highly processed ones (think soda, donuts, instant mashed potatoes, white flour bagels, Pop-Tarts, and candy). Not only do the minimally processed carbohydrates offer more fiber (which in turn helps to keep blood sugar levels steady), they also offer vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certainly, a “high carb, low-fat” apple has very little in common with Twizzlers, another “high carb, low-fat” snack. The apple offers phytonutrients like quercetin and catechins (which, as this study points out, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nutritionj.com/content/3/1/5\" target=\"_blank\">have various benefits and are present in significantly lower quantities in processed apple products\u003c/a>), as well as fiber (\u003ca href=\"http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/fiber-full-story/\" target=\"_blank\">which plays a role in helping lower risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and some cancers\u003c/a>). Twizzlers, meanwhile, are mainly made of white flour, and sugar, with a little palm oil, artificial flavoring, and artificial coloring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, some high-fat food–nuts, seeds, avocados, and cold-pressed oils like olive, hemp, and flax oil have very little in common with their highly-processed counterparts–\u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070116131545.htm\" target=\"_blank\">interesterified\u003c/a>, partially hydrogenated, and highly refined oils. Whole-food fats–especially plant-based ones–offer fiber along with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Additionally, the health benefits of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lipidworld.com/content/8/1/25\" target=\"_blank\">monounsaturated fats\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=1&ContentID=3054\" target=\"_blank\">omega-3 fatty acids\u003c/a> have been well documented. However, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/basics/fat/transfat.html\" target=\"_blank\">partially hydrogenated oils\u003c/a> (“trans fats”) are cardiovascular atrocities, and the newer kids on the block, interesterified fats, come with their share of concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, as Dr. Lustig wisely points out, “In America, a low-fat diet is a processed food diet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Lustig is right. The low-fat craze of the early 1990s did not usher in an increase in fruit and vegetable intake; it was fat-free and low-fat cookies–Snackwells, to be exact–that flew off the shelves. In my own nutrition practice, clients often include fat-free (and sugar laden) frozen yogurt, pudding, and popsicles on their lists of favorite snacks. Fresh fruit rarely gets a mention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average American consumes \u003ca href=\"http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/fiber-how-much-do-you-need\" target=\"_blank\">slightly more than half\u003c/a> the recommended daily intake of fiber, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/features/dssodium/\" target=\"_blank\">far exceeds the daily sodium limits\u003c/a>, and comes up very short on their intake of minerals like \u003ca href=\"http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/\" target=\"_blank\">magnesium\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/Place/12355000/pdf/DBrief/10_potassium_intake_0910.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">potassium\u003c/a>. These figures all point to one thing—we eat a lot of highly processed foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while fervent low-fat and low-carb devotees may love sitting ringside, larger systemic issues continue to affect American public health. Case in point: Earlier this week, Harvard’s School of Public Health reported that “overall dietary quality remains poor and \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/u-s-diet-shows-modest-improvement-but-overall-remains-poor/\" target=\"_blank\">disparities continue to widen among socioeconomic and racial/ethnic groups\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As long as studies like this continue to pit carbohydrates and fats against one another we can expect this ferocious fight to continue, and for the real cracks in our food system to get larger. Lustig put it best when he said: “What Bazzano et al. should have studied was real food versus processed food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About the Writer\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAndy Bellatti, MS, RD is a Las Vegas-based nutritionist with a plant-centric and whole-food focus who takes an interest in food politics, deceptive food marketing, sustainability, and social justice.

Fresh fruit rarely gets a mention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average American consumes \u003ca href=\"http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/fiber-how-much-do-you-need\" target=\"_blank\">slightly more than half\u003c/a> the recommended daily intake of fiber, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/features/dssodium/\" target=\"_blank\">far exceeds the daily sodium limits\u003c/a>, and comes up very short on their intake of minerals like \u003ca href=\"http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/\" target=\"_blank\">magnesium\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/Place/12355000/pdf/DBrief/10_potassium_intake_0910.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">potassium\u003c/a>. These figures all point to one thing—we eat a lot of highly processed foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while fervent low-fat and low-carb devotees may love sitting ringside, larger systemic issues continue to affect American public health. Case in point: Earlier this week, Harvard’s School of Public Health reported that “overall dietary quality remains poor and \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/u-s-diet-shows-modest-improvement-but-overall-remains-poor/\" target=\"_blank\">disparities continue to widen among socioeconomic and racial/ethnic groups\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As long as studies like this continue to pit carbohydrates and fats against one another we can expect this ferocious fight to continue, and for the real cracks in our food system to get larger. Lustig put it best when he said: “What Bazzano et al. should have studied was real food versus processed food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About the Writer\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAndy Bellatti, MS, RD is a Las Vegas-based nutritionist with a plant-centric and whole-food focus who takes an interest in food politics, deceptive food marketing, sustainability, and social justice.
