The Role of Dairy and Plant Based Dairy Alternatives in Sustainable Diets
SLU Future Food – a research platform for a sustainable food system The role of dairy and plant based dairy alternatives in sustainable diets Future Food Reports 3 Elin Röös, Tara Garnett, Viktor Watz, Camilla Sjörs The role of dairy and plant based dairy alternatives in sustainable diets Elin Röös, Tara Garnett , Viktor Watz, Camilla Sjörs Publication: SLU Future Food Reports 3 Publisher: Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the research platform Future Food Publication year: 2018 Graphic form: Gunilla Leffler (cover) Photo: ombadesigns, Pixabay, CC0 Print: SLU Repro, Uppsala Paper: Scandia 2000 240 g (cover), Scandia 2000 130 g (insert) IBSN: 978-91-576-9604-5 Foreword Sustainable diets that are nutritionally adequate, environmentally sound, economically viable and socially and culturally acceptable are gaining increasing attention. The focus has long been on the role of meat and its association with high environmental pressures, especially greenhouse gas emissions, and its detrimental health effects at high consumption levels. Much less attention has been paid to the role of dairy products in sustainable diets. There is currently a rise in plant- based dairy alternatives, e.g. drinks, yogurt-like products, spreads, ice-cream etc. made of soy, legumes, seeds, nuts or cereals. These have potentially lower negative impacts than dairy products but different nutritional profiles, which raises concerns about their role as replacements or complements to dairy products in sustainable diets. These concerns form the background to this report. As a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Elin Röös) and director of the Food Climate Research Network (FCRN) (Tara Garnett), for some years we had spoken about a need to investigate dairy and plant-based dairy alternatives in diets more specifically and thoroughly. -

It is perhaps the first scholarly attempt to study the vegetarian community in China that does not treat it as an Oriental phenomenon isolated from any outside influence. -

Healthy Eating Continued…
Whole Grain, Plant-based Lifestyle What is a Whole Grain, Plant-based Lifestyle (WGPB)? This type of lifestyle involves the elimination of all animal-based products, including meat, dairy and eggs. Also included in the diet are unprocessed or minimally processed grains. Although, similar to a vegan diet, it is not the same. There are different motivations behind adopting such a lifestyle. A WGPB lifestyle focuses on plants, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, seeds and nuts. One of the main reasons to choose this lifestyle is the many health benefits. It can assist with weight-loss since it is full of fiber and high water content, which causes you to feel full sooner. Additionally, studies have shown that individuals who adhere to a WGPB diet have improved blood glucose levels. Therefore, those who are diabetic can decrease their need for medications. What are some other benefits? Plant-based foods are loaded with healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals which improve skin clarity. Vitamin C, for instance, is a great antioxidant that can be found in foods such as; broccoli, papaya, apricot, and bell peppers. They assist in stimulating collagen production, smoothing lines and reducing wrinkles. As a result of the elimination of processed foods, sugars and flour, individuals have found an increase in energy due to decreased spikes in sugar levels. A WGPB diet consists of a clean source of protein, carbohydrates and fruits that help sustain a natural energy level. Another benefit is the increase in our gut’s natural flora, the bacteria that creates a healthy microbiome. -

Review of the China Study
FACT SHEET REVIEW OF THE CHINA STUDY By Team, General Conference Nutrition Council In 1905 Ellen White described the diet our Creator chose for us as a balanced plant-based diet including foods such as grains, fruit and vegetables, and nuts (1). Such a diet provides physical and mental vigor and endurance. She also recognized that such a diet may need to be adjusted according to the season, the climate, occupation, individual tolerance, and what foods are locally available (2). The General Conference Nutrition Council (GCNC) therefore recommends the consumption of a balanced vegetarian diet consisting of a rich variety of plant-based foods. Wherever possible those should be whole foods. Thousands of peer-reviewed research papers have been published over the last seven decades validating a balanced vegetarian eating plan. With so much support for our advocacy of vegetarian nutrition we have no need to fortify our well-founded position with popular anecdotal information or flawed science just because it agrees with what we believe. The methods used to arrive at a conclusion are very important as they determine the validity of the conclusion. We must demonstrate careful, transparent integrity at every turn in formulating a sound rationale to support our health message. It is with this in mind that we have carefully reviewed the book, The China Study (3). This book, published in 2004, was written by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, an emeritus professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and the author of over 300 research papers. In it Campbell describes his personal journey to a plants-only diet. -
