More Information
Summary:Interestingly, the firstever Canada's Food Guide was published in 1942 as Canada's Official Food Rules and, from that early publication, there have been multiple revisions over the years, the last one published in 2007. [...]the new version released in January 2019 was long overdue! Using food labels is also emphasized to help consumers make more informed food choices.1 Canada's Food Guide is presented as being better for the environment as it emphasizes consuming proteins from plant-based sources, such as nuts, beans, and lentils, rather than always choosing animal products. [...]the document for health professionals mentions the link between high sugar intake and dental caries, and makes note of the high sugar content of fruit juices. [...]we share the abstracts of the peer-reviewed oral and poster presentations that will be given at the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association's biennial national conference, taking place this month in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (pp. 183-88).
