Session Description
THE QUALITY OF DIET: DO WE REALLY HAVE A SCIENCE-BASED DATA BANK? - Sponsored by Soremartec Italia S.R.L. Since the existing dietary guidelines are constantly challenged by the new scientific evidence the concept of a proper diet quality might appear significantly complex to food regulatory authorities, particularly when a consumer group such as children is considered. Therefore, this session aims to discuss the bases and the role of scientific evidence in nutrition research and will demonstrate how the dietary guidelines have been evolving over time. In addition, different perspectives will be taken into account: from the public health and consumers’ point of view. The necessity for the most recent scientific evidence in development and constant update of dietary guidelines will be analyzed in terms of trust determination from the consumers’ side. Finally, the session will bring clarity if we can assume the relevance of an available science-based data bank for the diet quality, especially for such a specific consumer group as children.

Abstract

Abstract Body

Pregnancy, infancy and childhood represent the sensitive periods and many studies have been performed to understand the specific mechanisms that take place during these phases and how diet may affect them in association with other variables. It is widely documented that neurodevelopment is influenced by either genetic and environmental factors. Environmental factors, mainly represented by lifestyle, are modifiable contributors to neurovelopment. Modifiable factors include dietary patterns, whole foods (f.i. human milk) and intakes of specific nutrients from infancy to chilhood. Accordingly, even the periconceptional period and pregnancy, represent sensitive phases that should be monitored to optimize offspring’s brain growth and cognitive functions. This chapter includes a selection of studies performed in the area of nutrition and cognition, published between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022. Original articles comprising randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational studies, and reviewshave been selected and grouped into 4 categories, respectively: dietary patterns, micronutrients, LC-PUFA and toxicity
