Authored by experts in medical nutrition, the book serves as both a rich source of data on European eating patterns and a persuasive call for actions that can help Europeans select foods conducive to good health. Concrete policy recommendations are presented with a full awareness of the difficulties involved in altering traditional food choices, changing agricultural policies, and improving manufacturing practices within the food industry. The most extensive chapter evaluates what is known about the relationship of dietary patterns in different European countries to the prevalence of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, bone disease in the elderly, oral disease, nutritional anaemia, and goitre. Findings from this evaluation are then used to examine ways in which nutrition-based food policies can facilitate prevention.
