Food professionals have warned that a healthy diet should be based on plant food, where the meat rarely increases. The updated report published in The Lancet recommends "mainly herbal diet, moderate animal products and minimal sugar, salt and saturated fats."
These results continue to make the proposals of 2019, which were sharply criticized by agricultural associations. At that time, industrial associations called them "dangerous" and "unacceptable national traditions." However, on the contrary, the scientific community supported the approach, noting only social inequality and the need to consider access to healthy food.
According to updated data, red meat (beef, pork, lamb) must be limited to 15 grams a day, which is significantly the same as previous recommendations. At the same time, the daily norm is: 200 g of vegetables, 300 g of fruit, 210 g Gray, 250 g of dairy products, small portions of fish or seafood and white meat.
Scientists emphasize that this diet is due to improvement of health, reducing common mortality and the risk of chronic diseases caused by poor diet.
