Healthy dietary patterns throughout the life cycle – the intersection of nutrition, convenience, and culture In the U.S., healthy dietary patterns are defined by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). This presentation explores current knowledge gaps and flexibility of healthy dietary patterns as they are described in the 2020 DGA through a discussion of 1) nutritionally adequate vegetarian eating pat... Healthy dietary patterns throughout the life cycle – the intersection of nutrition, convenience, and culture The research conducted within the Hess Lab focuses on identifying and evaluating strategies to help Americans meet recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). Recent studies have focused on developing nutritionally adequate vegetarian eating patterns for different life stages, i... Innovation for a plant-astic future: strategies for healthy vegetarian and vegan diets The most recent official nutrition recommendations for Americans- the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020 DGA)- include a vegetarian eating pattern. However, the 2020 DGA does not address how to adapt this pattern for vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, or pescatarian diets. Dr. Hess will present t... Modeling ovo-vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, pescatarian, and vegan USDA food patterns and assessing nutrient adequacy for lactation among adult females Background: Among its recommended dietary patterns for Americans, including lactating mothers, the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) includes a Healthy Vegetarian Dietary Pattern (HVDP). However, the DGA does not provide guidance for adapting the HVDP for vegetarians who avoid dairy (ovo-v... Vegetarian diets during pregnancy: ovo-vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian adaptations of USDA food patterns Background The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) includes a lacto-ovo vegetarian pattern (the Healthy Vegetarian Dietary Pattern; HVDP) as one of its 3 recommended dietary patterns during pregnancy. Objective The objective of our study was to determine whether the HVDP could be adapted fo... Modeling lacto-vegetarian, pescatarian, and 'pescavegan' USDA Food patterns and assessing nutrient adequacy for healthy, non-pregnant, non-lactating adults The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) includes a Healthy Vegetarian Dietary Pattern (HVDP) with dairy foods and eggs as one of its three recommended dietary patterns for non-pregnant, non-lactating healthy adults. This study evaluates whether pescatarian, lacto-vegetarian, and “pescav... Application of dairy-free vegetarian and vegan USDA food pattern models for non-pregnant, non-lactating healthy adults Thank you for giving us the opportunity to reply to the letter you received about our paper entitled “Application of dairy-free vegetarian and vegan USDA food pattern models for non-pregnant, non-lactating healthy adults.” First, we’d like to thank Dr. Herby for raising her concerns about our paper ... Adherence, compliance, and diet quality among popular diet followers 1. To compare diet quality of vegan, vegetarian, paleo, and whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diets; 2. To examine how adherence varies by diet and relates to quality and diet duration; 3. To examine how compliance varies by diet and relates to quality, adherence, and duration. Analysis was conducted on... Adequate vitamin B12 and folate status of Norwegian vegans and vegetarians Background: Plant-based diets may increase the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency due to limited or no intake of animal-source foods, the main B12-dietary source, while dietary folate sources as fruits and vegetables increases when adhering to plant-based diets. Objective: We evaluated the B12 and fola... Application of dairy-free vegetarian and vegan USDA Food Pattern Models for non-pregnant, non-lactating healthy adults The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recommends a Healthy Vegetarian Dietary Pattern (HVDP) but does not provide guidance for dairy-free vegetarian (ovo-vegetarians) or vegan diets. A recent study from our lab modeled ovo-vegetarian and vegan HVDPs for healthy adults and found minimal imp... Fatty acid profile driven by maternal diet shapes the composition of human breast milk microbiota Little is known regarding the impact of diet on the breast milk microbiome. We hypothesized that vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore diets would impact the human milk microbiota. We also aimed to explore associations between human milk fatty acid concentrations and microbial composition. A cross-section... Modeling dairy-free vegetarian and vegan USDA food patterns for non-pregnant, non-lactating adults Background: The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recommends three dietary patterns for Americans, including a Healthy Vegetarian Dietary Pattern (HVDP). Objective: The objective of this study was to assess whether the HVDP can be adapted for dairy-free and vegan diets while providing adeq... Application of a vegan USDA food pattern model Introduction: The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recommends a Healthy Vegetarian Dietary Pattern (HVDP) but does not provide guidance for how to adapt this pattern for Americans who avoid all animal-based foods (vegans). A recent study from our lab created a model of a vegan HVDP and fo... Modeling dairy-free and vegan USDA food patterns Objective: The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recommends three dietary patterns for Americans, including a Healthy Vegetarian Dietary Pattern (HVDP). The objective of this study is to assess whether the HVDP can be adapted for dairy-free and vegan diets while providing adequate nutritio... Total water-soluble choline concentration does not differ in milk from vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian lactating women Background. Choline is an essential nutrient for brain growth and other biological processes in the developing neonate. The impact of a maternal plant-based diet on the choline concentration and composition in breast milk is unknown. Objectives. To assess the water-soluble choline content of breast... A vegetarian-style dietary pattern is associated with lower energy, saturated fat, and sodium intakes; and higher whole grains, legumes, nuts, and soy intakes by adults: NHANES 2013-2016 The healthy vegetarian-style dietary pattern as defined by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) 2015-2020 includes plant-based foods, eggs, and dairy; and excludes meat, poultry, and seafood. The objectives of the study were to find out whether there were differences in the mean intakes of se... Amino acid digestibility of extruded chickpea and yellow pea protein is high and comparable in moderately stunted South Indian children with use of a dual stable isotope tracer method Background Legumes are an excellent plant source of the limiting indispensable amino acid (IAA) lysine in vegetarian, cereal-based diets. However, their digestibility is poor largely because of their antiprotease content. Extrusion can enhance digestibility by inactivating trypsin inhibitors and thu... Total water-soluble choline concentration does not differ in milk from vegan, vegetarian, and nonvegetarian lactating women Background. Choline is an essential nutrient for brain growth and other biological processes in the developing neonate. The impact of a maternal plant-based diet on the choline concentration and composition in breast milk is unknown. Objectives. To assess the water-soluble choline content of breast ... Motivations to adopt plant-based diets: data from the Adhering to Dietary Approaches for Personal Taste (ADAPT) Study Objectives: To examine the differences in key motivations to adopt a dietary pattern (1) between self-reported plant-based diet followers and omnivores, and (2) among three types of plant-based diet followers: whole food, plant-based (WFPB), vegan, and vegetarian + pescatarian. Methods: Adhering to ... Web-based recruitment and survey methodology to maximize response rates from followers of popular diets: the Adhering to Dietary Approaches for Personal Taste (ADAPT) feasibility survey Background: Although there is interest in popular diets such as vegan/vegetarian, Paleo, and other "whole food" diets, existing cohort studies lack data for these subgroups. Use of electronic data capture and web-based surveys in nutrition research may be valuable for future studies by allowing targ...
