Canadians fail nutrition test

Lack of knowledge about the
nutritional benefits of meat. fish,
poultry, eggs and milk products may
explain why Canadians are not
consuming adequate amounts of
these protein-rich foods.
Concerned that a recent scientific
study indicates that 40 per cent of
women and 13 percent of men from
British Columbia eat less than 100
grams daily from the meat and
alternatives group of 'Canada’s Food
Guide to Healthy Eating’, dietitians
commissioned an independent poll of
nutrition knowledge. The poll of
L000 Canadians this summer, by
Synovate Research, suggests that
many could benefit from a greater
awareness of the important
nutritional contributions of protein
foods of animal origin.
“The answers to the true and false
questions certainly indicate
.confusion,” says Susan Barr,
professor of nutrition at the
University of British Columbia.
Although one-third agreed with the
statement: 'Most Canadian women
eat sufficient amounts of protein-rich
foods daily’, 86 per cent incorrectly
thought that people eat far more
foods of animal origin such as meat,
fish, eggs or dairy products, than they
need.
“The reality is that toa many
Canadians could be jeopardizing
their health by not eating enough
meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese
or yogurt,” continues Barr. “In
addition to high-quality protein, these
foods are important sources of many
essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc.
calcium and many B vitamins.”
It was evident from the survey that
many Canadians need more nutrition
information. Only 11 percent knew
that meat has more ready-to-use iron
than spinach and 69 per cent were
unaware that egg yolk contains
nutrients that reduce the risk of
blindness.
Two-thirds thought many fruits,
vegetables and legumes are good
sources of calcium when in fact, most
foods of plant origin contain much
less calcium than milk, have calcium
that is less well absorbed than
calcium in milk products, or both.
When it comes to drinking milk or
eating cheese or yogurt, Canadians
are doing just as poorly. Eighty-five
per cent of women and 70 per cent of
men consume less than the
recommended two servings of milk
products daily.
Misconceptions related to obesity
and chronic diseases were also very
evident from the survey. “We still
have a long way to go in educating

Canadians about the unique roles
foods of animal origin can play in
promoting health," says Barr.
Some of the facts dietitians are
anxious to communicate are:
• Protein-rich foods of animal origin
and calcium-rich milk products may
help promote healthy weights.
• Some of the fats in foods of animal
origin - such as meat, eggs and fish
- are good for you.
• Dietary cholesterol is not a major
contributing factor for heart disease.
• Milk products may help reduce
insulin resistance in overweight
young people.
• Health Canada does not support a
health claim for reduction of fat and
cancer because of lack of scientific
evidence.
“Our over-riding message is that all
four food groups in Canada’s Food
Guide to Health Eating, including
meat and alternatives, are important
for maintaining good health and
reducing the risk of disease,”
concludes Ban-.
