  5. Lecture 2a 13 Jan 2014 Nutrition concerns including nutritional health and food consumption trends in Canada

  6. About The Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition • Tracking  Nutrition Trends (TNT) - 1989-2009- produced by The Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition (CCFN) • The Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition (CCFN) is a national, non-profit organization established in 2004 through the union of the mandates of the National Institute of Nutrition and the Canadian Food Information Council. The vision of CCFN is to be the multi-sectoral trusted voice for science and evidence-based food and nutrition policy and information in Canada. • To successfully achieve its vision, CCFN acts as a catalyst in advancing the nutritional health and well-being of all Canadians by: • Championing evidence-based solutions to key nutrition issues affecting the nutritional health of Canadians; • Advocating for evidence-based nutrition policy in Canada; and • Promoting public understanding of food and nutrition issues.

  7. About Tracking Nutrition Trends (TNT) Surveys The Tracking Nutrition Trends (TNT) survey series was initiated in 1989 to investigate adult Canadians’ self-reported knowledge, attitudes and behaviour with respect to food and nutrition issues. Each wave of the series has built on the previous findings by tracking trends and developing a benchmark on emerging issues.  

  8. SPECIFIC TRENDS IN NUTRITION (1989-2009) -rise in internet use for nutrition information -still little attention being paid to trans fats- do not really understand trans fats

  9. SPECIFICS TRENDS IN NUTRITION (1989-2009) continued -little change in self-rated health, self-rated eating habits or self-rated knowledge about nutrition (self-rating of excellent or very good for each of health, eating habits and knowledge about nutrition are all still less than 50 %) -grasp of key nutrition facts (1989-2009) remains unchanged           -key nutrition facts are: 1) high fibre diet may help prevent colon cancer (about 80 %) 2) reducing fat in the diet can lower blood cholesterol (about 80 %) 3) some types of fibre help reduce blood cholesterol (about 75 %) 4) fewer could name all four food groups or at least one food group 5) all of above 4 plus understanding of glycemic index and omega 3's in health showed a small drop (2006 to 2008) -desire to maintain good health has dropped as has making improvements to eating habits and the importance of good nutrition

  10. SPECIFICS TRENDS IN NUTRITION (1989-2009) continued -convenience of foods has become more important over the years -percentage of people always reading food labels has remained fairly low and constant -yet concern about dietary fat, cholesterol, fibre, salt, sugar, vitamins, caffeine and fibre has increased -a small percentage increase in persons are selecting foods based on fat, cholesterol, fibre, salt, sugar, saturated and trans fat.

  13. AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE BAD NEWS ARE: http://www.diabetes.ca/documents/getinvolved/FINAL_Economic_Report.pdf

  14. Interesting observation in Belgium- first year university students with larger waist circumferences have a greater chance of failure-Deliens et al (2013) Nutrition Journal 12:162. -yet another reason for young people to be concerned about obesity (aside from type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, end stage renal disease, blindness, amputation, liver disease, depression, sleep apnea, lack of workplace productivity, job insecurity, poorer income, reduced benefits and pensions, and loss of publically funded healthcare)

  15. Contributing to Obesity are: Five food felons 1) saturated fats 2) trans fats 3) added sugars 4) syrups 5) any grains that aren’t 100% whole

  16. BOTTOM LINE Notall Canadians are walking the talk. They know what has to be done but cannot bring consistently themselves to do it. Canadians as a population just do not get it. Obesity continues to rise in Canada Perspective on Obamacare
