Cracking the code: the key to balancing nutrition and environmental responsibility researchsquare nutrition sustainability environmentalism environment responsibility
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Jun 13 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM Assessments of sustainable healthy diets typically do not consider composite diets, even though dietary consumption is mostly in composite forms.
Background Plant-based diets are gaining popularity due to their established environmental and human health benefits. PBDs contain zero or small quantities of animal products. Besides the impact on climate, another advantage of PBDs is reducing the risk related to non-communicable chronic diseases , such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases .
Key Findings The first diet scenario was attributed the lowest Food Compass Score owing to its composition. The first diet comprises 100% animal-based proteins, the highest proportion of sugar-sweetened beverages, and the lowest quantities of fruits, nuts, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and seafood. Such a composition should be nutritionally discouraged.
The lower environmental impact estimates from the current diet scenario suggest that healthier options may exhibit greater ecological damage than unhealthier options. This depends on the type and quantities of food being consumed.

The benefit of vegetarian diets for reducing blood pressure in Taiwan: a historically prospective cohort study - Journal of Health, Population and NutritionObjective Past vegetarians research has often found that they have lower blood pressure (BP). Effects may include their lower BMI and higher intake levels of fruit and vegetables. Besides, the study pursues to extend this evidence in a diverse population containing vegans, lacto-ovo vegetarians and omnivores. Design The study analyzed data on five hundred vigorous individuals aged 20 years or older from a standard medical screening program and provided validated questionnaire. Criteria were established for vegan, lacto-ovo vegetarian, partial vegetarian and omnivorous dietary patterns. Setting Health screening programs were conducted at a standard medical screening program in Taiwan between 2006 and 2017. Dietary data were gathered by self-administered questionnaire. Subjects Five hundred Taiwanese subjects representing the cohort. Results Multiple regression analyses confirmed that the vegan vegetarians had lower systolic and diastolic BP (mmHg) than omnivorous Taiwanese (β = − 6.8, p 139 mmHg or diastolic BP | 89 mmHg or routine of antihypertensive medications, the odds ratio of hypertension compared with omnivores was 0.37 (95% CI = 0.19–0.74), 0.57 (95% CI = 0.36–0.92) and 0.92 (95% CI = 0.50–1.70), respectively, for vegans, lacto-ovo vegetarians and partial vegetarians. Results were reduced after adjustment for BMI. Conclusions The study concludes from this relatively large study that vegetarians, especially vegans, with otherwise diverse characteristics but stable diets, do have lower systolic and diastolic BP and less hypertension than omnivores.
