하바드 공중보건대학은 “건강식단”안내를 공표하면서, 미국농림부와와 영양전문가들에게 강력한 메시지를 내어놓고 있다. 하바드대학은 미국농림부가 새로이 만든 나의 식단 안내를 문제삼고 있다.

하바드 대학의 영양전문가들은 눈치를 보지 않고, 대학이 만든 식품안내가 제대로 된 연구를 토대로 만들어졌으며, 특히 주목할 만한 것은 전혀 식품업계의 로비를 받지 않았다고 주장하고 있다. 특히 하바드 대학의 연구노력의 결과로 건강식단으로부터 유제품이 사라진 것이다. 하바드 대학의 평가에 의하면, “유제품을 많이 섭취하면, 전립선암과 난소암의 위험이 크다”는 것이다. 또 하바드 전문가들은 대부분의 유제품에는 포화지방이 매우 많다고 언급하였다. 또 케일이나, 두부, 배추, 콩이 유제품보다 칼슘을 얻기 위한 안전한 식품이라고 조언을 하고 있다.

식품업계의 각종 로비를 무시하고, 미국농림수산식품부에 무엇이 건강식품인지를 가르쳐주는 하바드대학이 좋은 일을 해냈다.

Harvard Declares Dairy NOT Part of Healthy Diet

The Harvard School of Public Health sent a strong message to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and nutrition experts everywhere with the recent release of its “Healthy Eating Plate” food guide. The university was responding to the USDA’s new MyPlate guide for healthy eating, which replaced the outdated and misguided food pyramid.

Harvard’s nutrition experts did not pull punches, declaring that the university’s food guide was based on sound nutrition research and more importantly, not influenced by food industry lobbyists. The greatest evidence of its research focus is the absence of dairy products from the “Healthy Eating Plate” based on Harvard’s assessment that “…high intake can increase the risk of prostate cancer and possibly ovarian cancer.” The Harvard experts also referred to the high levels of saturated fat in most dairy products and suggested that collards, bok choy, fortified soy milk, and baked beans are safer choices than dairy for obtaining calcium, as are high quality supplements.

Kudos to Harvard for promoting greater consumption of vegetables and fruits, as well as healthier protein options such as fish, beans or nuts. And kudos to Harvard for ignoring the lobbyists and showing the USDA what healthy eating is all about.
