The overall diet matters more than individual foods and nutrients Portmann, @Jess_Fitz_APD, @EmmaHalmos, Bryant & @Alice_APD summarize IBD-specific diet quality index: ✅ No dietary quality index has been validated for an IBD population ✅ The DGI-2013 index meets the most criteria and is based on the Australian people: 🔸dietary data collected via a 111-item food frequency questionnaire 🔸anthropometry (body mass index, waist circumference) 🔸cardiometabolic risk factors (insulin resistance, cholesterol) 🔸health-related behaviours (e.g., smoking, activity) 🔸included UC population with ileoanal pouch ✅ Other valuable indices to assess diet quality: DHD Index-2015, PHDI, and HEIFA-2013 ⤵️

🧐 New study reveals that industry-sponsored research on unprocessed meat consumption often downplays health risks, highlighting the impact of COI in scientific findings. Plus most used inappropiate comparators biasing results in favor of meat Congratulations @nutreconciencia for such big piece of work I am super proud 🔗 Read more: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @DrAlanDesmond you are going to like this
