Based on ‘… a large and growing body of evidence (premature mortality, cancer, CVD, obesity, diabetes, impaired mental, resp. and gastr. health)’, avoiding or moderating UPF consumption is now embodied in the FAO/WHO core principles of healthy diets👏👏

México 🇲🇽 lleva años tratando de echar fuera de escuelas 🏫 #refrescos, #comidachatarra 🍫🍔 y su publicidad 📺, por los graves efectos a la salud que ocasionan🌡️💔☠️🥵

Hoy la presidenta y el secretario de SEP anunciaron que con las nueva Ley de Educación 📚 se obliga a eliminar productos malsanos y se sanciona su incumplimiento, para beneficio de nuestras infancias 👶🌟
¡Bravo! 🎉👏🛑

My second thesis article was published in Public Health Nutrition.🙌Semi-structured interviews with dietitian-nutritionists from Quebec allowed us to explore dietitians' experiences and perspectives regarding their (quite diverse) interactions with the food industry.

I’m looking forward to reading the details in this new paper reporting results from a Japanese study that appears to replicate many of our previous findings on diets high in ultra-processed food causing excess energy intake and weight gain! https://t.co/ySjibLklid

El Rey Carlos 👑 🇬🇧 presenta el compromiso de Gran Bretaña para
restringir publicidad de #comidachatarra dirigida a niñas y niños 👏🏼

El marketing de productos malsanos a nuestras infancias es una estrategia poco ética que afecta a todas las naciones y que urge detener🥤🛑☠️

Reducing sodium intake is a cost-effective intervention that can save lives by preventing and reducing the burden of diet-related NCDs. For every USD spent on reducing sodium intake at the population level, the return-on-investment ranges between $13 and $19. #SaltAwarenessWeek

[Global Health Advocacy Incubator @IncubatorGHAI]

It’s time to shine a spotlight on salt. Globally, at least 1.89 million deaths are attributable to high sodium intake. In our new infographic, we’ve highlighted 10 best practices for setting sodium reduction target policies. Learn more: https://t.co/QP5XkidhGV #SaltAwarenessWeek
