1 What is the global nutrition transition? In the same countries, one finds malnutrition and obesity. The appearance of obesity in these locales has been called the Nutrition Transition What underlies this transition are changes in diet resulting from the introduction of Western foods in place of traditional plant-based diets.

2 Plant-Based Diets Western Diet Pattern Subsistence Agriculture Food Scarcity Malnutrition Industrial Agriculture Government Subsidies Increased Availability Poor Food Quality Obesity and Chronic Diseases

3 What are the differences? vs % Fat 2. Omega-6/omega-3 ratio 3:1 3. Good Fructose with Antioxidants Fiber, Water, Few Calories 4. Plant Proteins with lower calories can be prepared with little fat. 5. Rich in Vitamins, Minerals, and Micronutrients to 50% Fat Calories 2. Omega-6/omega-3 ratio 10-30:1 3. Bad Fructose as HFCS with High Calories, Low Fiber, Low Antioxidants id t 4. Animal Protein with Saturated Fat and Increased Calories 5. Poor in Vitamins, Minerals and Micronutrients

4 Fat Increases after 1980 Sweetener Increases after 1985

5 High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) HFCS was rapidly introduced to many processed foods and soft drinks in the U.S. from about 1975 to High-fructose corn syrup is produced by milling corn to produce corn starch, then processing that starch to yield corn syrup, which is almost entirely glucose, and then adding enzymes that change most of the glucose into fructose. The resulting syrup (after enzyme conversion) contains approximately 90% fructose and is HFCS 90. To make the other common forms of HFCS (HFCS 55 and HFCS 42) the HFCS 90 is mixed with 100% glucose corn syrup in the appropriate ratios to form the desired HFCS.

6 Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup in beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity Estimated intakes of total fructose ( ), free fructose ( ), and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS, ) in relation to trends in the prevalence of overweight ( ) and obesity (x) in the United States Source: George A Bray, Samara Joy Nielsen and Barry M. Popkin, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 79, No. 4, , April 2004.

9 Nutrition 101 Protein Fat Carbohydrates Amount and Quality relative to Lean Body Mass Amount and Quality relative To Fat Mass Limited Amount Stored (300 g) Burn Daily Commonalities: Both Essential for Good Health Both Missing from Modern Diet Both Stored in the Body Long-Term Simple Sugars or Refined Carbs Vs. Plant-Based Carb/Fiber Mix Healthy Active Lifestyle Lessens the Impact of Poor Diet

10 What are the results? Worldwide epidemic of obesity and overweight. Increases in type 2 diabetes. Association with multiple inflammatory diseases such as asthma, arthritis, heart disease, and common forms of cancer. Increased health care costs due to overutilization of services.

12 Definition of obesity Obesity is defined as excess body fat (not simply excess weight.)

14 Even if you are thin you can be fat MRI reveals fat around the Heart, Liver and Intestine in Individuals with Normal Waist Circumference Of the women scanned by Bell and his colleagues, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had excessive levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

15 Relationship Between BMI and Percent Body Fat in Men and Women Body Fat (%) 70 Women 60 Men Body Mass Index (kg/m 2 ) Adapted from: Gallagher et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2000;72:694.

Grassroots efforts at the community level. Medical and Healthcare Industry understanding of the issues involved to enable leadership in prevention efforts.
