Every issue on nutrition science in one post! Nutrition has been based on epidemiological proxies for far too long! It’s a deeply imprecise science and we ought to fight for precision moving ahead and using technological advances. Mid 60s epi techniques won’t provide answers!!!
What we fail to remember is that a proxy is not an intervention target. A proxy means that if I had only one question, UPFs consumption would most likely be the one to describe eating habits, weight status, SES etc. like fever and being ill!
The latest issue of Kompass Nutrition & Dietetics is out and we are discussing the various ways dietetics can support vulnerable individuals @NutriKarger
Honoured to be invited as editor-in-chief!
Have a look:

Do we know what a highly processed food really looks like? Maybe yes but it means different things to difference people.
Read below why this is important!
How we apply those systems will also change what they tell us about diet and health per our data:

1 in 2 plain yogurts and frozen vegetables classified as #UPFs when the NOVA system was applied in detailed food data instead of epidemiological databases.
Minimal to no difference in nutritional composition.
Common biases in #processed_food epidemiology:

Great chance to discuss UPFs!
During the 14th EFAD (European Federation of Association of Dieteticians) Congress we talked with @AntonisVls about how the definition of UPF covers 70% of the food you will find in supermarkets and how consumers can find interesting products checking other aspects, in particular the nutritional composition.

Likely to be framed as a bad guy but I still think that precise definitions are useful and needed! Let’s refine #UPFs definitions and study the real effect!
Key messages by @AntonisVls:
✅ UPFs as defined by NOVA are abundant and dominate the modern supermarket
✅ UPFs can be found in every food group and are not exclusively linked with poor nutritional composition
✅ The study of UPFs their dietary contribution and health effect requires modern food composition databases linked to epidemiological surveys
