Does that change the recommendation to make these foods major parts of our diet? A: No, the federal report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies the top sources of sodium in the U.S. diet, most of which are processed foods, not fresh vegetables or basic whole grains such as brown rice and rolled oats. The report groups foods into categories, each of which includes foods that are higher in sodium and foods that are low in sodium. What the report shows is that in choosing the mostly plant-based diet that we know can lower risk of cancer and heart disease, it’s important to make healthful choices within these food categories. The report shows where most Americans are getting their sodium; that means it reflects both how concentrated in sodium a food is and how much of it we eat. For example, the report shows that the food category that supplies the most sodium in the average American diet – 37 percent – is grains. This reflects our high consumption of frozen pasta meals, convenience grain mixtures, crackers, cookies and breads. If we choose moderate amounts of whole-grain bread and cereal along with pasta (without the high-sodium sauce) and unprocessed whole grains like brown rice, bulgur, quinoa and others, sodium consumption would be drastically lower. Vegetables were ranked as the third leading source of sodium in our diet, supplying an average of 430 milligrams (mg) of sodium daily. But fresh and unsalted frozen vegetables generally contain no more than 10 mg per half-cup serving. The problem here isn’t that we’re eating large amounts of vegetables! It’s that when we do eat vegetables, it’s largely in high-sodium sauces and soups; and the category includes potato chips and French fries, unfortunately some of our most frequent vegetable choices. If we choose unsalted vegetables and flavor them with herbs, spices, lemon juice, flavored vinegar, garlic, olive oil and other low-sodium options, sodium content will be low. Don’t abandon the New American Plate approach to healthy eating, in which vegetables, fruits and whole grains supply at least two-thirds of your plate. Just focus on healthy choices within each of those categories, too. http://www.aicr.org/site/News2?abbr=pr_hf_&page=NewsArticle&id=19371&news_iv_ctrl=2981 F760E913-0A49-43CD-95B6-9A028799C8BE Thu, 23 Sep 2010 10:46:03 -0400 from the AICR Fall 2010 Newsletter: One fine chef found the wellspring of her recovery from colon cancer in eating high-quality plant foods and enjoying several kinds of physical activity. Sarah Lanzman says she feels better now than before she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer six years ago. http://www.aicr.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=19539&news_iv_ctrl=3221 620BD781-3819-4923-9C18-8037489EBA1B Thu, 16 Sep 2010 14:03:12 -0400 HealthTalk Answers Your Diet, Weight and Exercise Questions – September 13. 2010 http://www.aicr.org/site/News2?abbr=pr_hf_&page=NewsArticle&id=19370&news_iv_ctrl=2981 B86FF36E-D3EF-4E6E-A155-AEE006A99A75 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 16:24:24 -0400 HealthTalk Answers Your Diet, Weight and Exercise Questions http://www.aicr.org/site/News2?abbr=pr_hf_&page=NewsArticle&id=19369&news_iv_ctrl=2981 9DED31B2-ADCC-4D55-AC8D-92E0EF50E441 Wed, 8 Sep 2010 09:39:06 -0400
