Cut red meat, sugar by 50%: Lancet’s diet plan for the world

The Hindu  

With the ideal diet, your life would be less sweet but your lifespan would be longer. Unhealthy diets are the leading cause of ill-health worldwide, and following this healthy diet could avoid approximately 11 million premature deaths a year, the report said. UN goals “These global targets define a safe operating space for food systems that allow us to assess which diets and food production practices will help ensure that the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement are achieved,” said a press statement accompanying the report. Though the Commission’s recommendations for a healthy diet do include red meat, it emphasises that “global targets” ought to be applied “locally” and must keep in mind “cultural sensitivities”. “To be healthy, diets must have an appropriate calorie intake and consist of a variety of plant-based foods, low amounts of animal-based foods, unsaturated rather than saturated fats, and few refined grains, highly processed foods, and added sugars.” The researchers also modelled the effects of a global adoption of such a diet on deaths from diet-related diseases.
