Although largely ignored by US food and dietary policies, reduction in #ultraprocessed food intake would reduce obesity by about 50% among American children and adolescents, an effect much larger than the expected with policies targeting only SSB nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/…

Delighted to see the first paper from my #Phd exploring the mechanisms of #sleep and #obesity in #children published. Eating in the absence of hunger in children with mild sleep loss: a randomized crossover trial with learning effects academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-a…

Otago Nutrition researchers surveyed adolescents & conclude we need to find/promote meat alternatives that taste good, are easy to prepare, are cost effective and provide nutritional adequacy. Nice work Meredith Peddie @JillHaszard
