    Abstract We live in a world where people are living longer and overweight and obesity are widespread, linked with a calorie intake in excess of the requirements of a sedentary lifestyle. Obesity is known to increase the chance of developing type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. But is achieving energy balance the only challenge we face or is the scenario more complex? Evidence from dietary surveys indicates that calories should not be considered in isolation because poor diets are widespread, even in countries such as the UK. The National Diet and Nutrition Survey provides evidence of relatively low intakes of a number of essential vitamins and minerals among UK teenagers and young adults, in particular, and low intakes of fibre in all age groups, associated with low intakes of wholegrain foods, vegetables, fruit and pulses. Despite widespread familiarity with the 5 A DAY message, only 27% of adults eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day and, on average, teenagers have particularly low intakes. The poor quality of many diets in Britain has been brought into sharp focus by publication of time trend data showing that micronutrient intakes have worsened over the past decade. However, going forward, dietary recommendations need to be considered in the context of delivering a global food supply that is both nutritious and also environmentally sustainable, and takes into account other factors such as equitable access, affordability and acceptability.

    Abstract In July 2017, a landmark report Review of Nutrition and Health Research (80 pages) was published following a strategic review commissioned by The Office for Strategic Coordination of Health Research (OSCHR). The review sets out a future vision for nutrition research and offers recommendations designed to capitalise on UK strengths, tackle weaknesses and thus strengthen and revitalise the UK research base. Traditionally, the UK has benefited considerably from research funding from the European Union, and the report stresses the window of opportunity that exists to galvanise the research community at a time when the future of UK research funding is at a crossroads. Unusual for reviews of this type, the report emphasises the vital need for partnership with industry, not least because the sector is key to ensuring translation of research advances into healthier products and improved nutrition support for those who are ill. The strategic review calls for an agreed code of practice to facilitate open, transparent and effective partnerships. In response to the review, the Medical Research Council has identified three pillars of activity for nutrition research: building the UK research base; developing plans for global nutrition research; and working with the food industry.

    Abstract In March 2016, the UK government's new Eatwell Guide was published following work to identify food‐based dietary guidelines consistent with the new UK fibre and free sugars recommendations adopted in 2015. The revised proportions of the model were developed using a technique known as optimisation modelling, which finds a combination of foods that meet a set of nutritional recommendations while deviating as little as possible from current dietary habits. This paper focuses on two recently published papers, one that describes the scientific rationale for the new proportions of the Guide and a second paper from the same research group exploring the effects on health that might be expected if the optimised diet depicted in the Guide were to be followed.

    Abstract This article provides a brief history about UK food‐based dietary guidelines as a prelude to discussion about new the Eatwell Guide and changes to 5 A DAY messaging launched in March 2016. Included is a summary of the main changes made and the methodology used to steer the development of the new Eatwell Guide (linear programming). Brief reference is also made to the principal differences between the new UK guide and food‐based guidelines used in other parts of the world.

  7. Article: The challenges of defining a healthy and ‘sustainable’ diet

    Abstract Considerable debate exists about changes required to current diets to deliver simultaneous improvements for both human health and environmental sustainability. Media coverage has focussed largely on the environmental and health impacts of animal source foods, particularly red meat. However, animal source foods contribute notably to intakes of micronutrients (e.g. iron, zinc, iodine, calcium) in current UK diets, and evidence indicates nutrient intakes/status may be inadequate if appropriate substitutions are not made when restricting such foods in the diet, highlighting the need to consider the overall dietary pattern. Healthy and sustainable dietary patterns have been modelled based on nutritional adequacy alone (e.g. Eatwell Guide), or nutrition combined with environmental impact (e.g. WWF Livewell Plates). Studies have also considered other aspects, such as the health impact or cost, with some analyses providing ‘optimised’ diets representing the smallest required changes to current diets. Consistent changes are evident for most food groups (e.g. increases in fruit and vegetables, starchy carbohydrates, fish and – in most cases – beans, pulses and other legumes; decreases in red/processed meat, cheese and high‐fat/sugar foods). However, recommendations for dairy consumption (particularly milk) are less consistent. Methodological variation makes it difficult to directly compare recommendations to date, due to use of different data sources, environmental metrics and modelling assumptions/constraints, although reducing food waste is an important consideration regardless of dietary pattern. In the UK, adopting the government’s Eatwell Guide, which incorporates affordability and familiarity, appears a sensible direction of travel at the current time, likely to deliver nutritional, health and environmental benefits.

  9. Article: Vitamin D: An overview of vitamin D status and intake in Europe.

    Abstract: ... deficiency [often defined as plasma 25(OH)D <25 nmol/l] may be more common in populations with a higher ...

    Abstract In recent years, there have been reports suggesting a high prevalence of low vitamin D intakes and vitamin D deficiency or inadequate vitamin D status in Europe. Coupled with growing concern about the health risks associated with low vitamin D status, this has resulted in increased interest in the topic of vitamin D from healthcare professionals, the media and the public. Adequate vitamin D status has a key role in skeletal health. Prevention of the well-described vitamin D deficiency disorders of rickets and osteomalacia are clearly important, but there may also be an implication of low vitamin D status in bone loss, muscle weakness and falls and fragility fractures in older people, and these are highly significant public health issues in terms of morbidity, quality of life and costs to health services in Europe. Although there is no agreement on optimal plasma levels of vitamin D, it is apparent that blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels are often below recommended ranges for the general population and are particularly low in some subgroups of the population, such as those in institutions or who are housebound and non-Western immigrants. Reported estimates of vitamin D status within different European countries show large variation. However, comparison of studies across Europe is limited by their use of different methodologies. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency [often defined as plasma 25(OH)D <25 nmol/l] may be more common in populations with a higher proportion of at-risk groups, and/or that have low consumption of foods rich in vitamin D (naturally rich or fortified) and low use of vitamin D supplements. The definition of an adequate or optimal vitamin D status is key in determining recommendations for a vitamin D intake that will enable satisfactory status to be maintained all year round, including the winter months. In most European countries, there seems to be a shortfall in achieving current vitamin D recommendations. An exception is Finland, where dietary survey data indicate that recent national policies that include fortification and supplementation, coupled with a high habitual intake of oil-rich fish, have resulted in an increase in vitamin D intakes, but this may not be a suitable strategy for all European populations. The ongoing standardisation of measurements in vitamin D research will facilitate a stronger evidence base on which policies can be determined. These policies may include promotion of dietary recommendations, food fortification, vitamin D supplementation and judicious sun exposure, but should take into account national, cultural and dietary habits. For European nations with supplementation policies, it is important that relevant parties ensure satisfactory uptake of these particularly in the most vulnerable groups of the population.
