Of the following, the most important overall dietary modification to help reduce risk of chronic disease is
a. eating fewer foods that contain preserva-tives.
b. buying mostly locally grown foods.
c. eating more plant-based foods.
d. eating more animal-based foods.
C
Scientific evidence from the nutrition evidence library shows that shifting to a more plant-based diet is one of four significant modifications to our dietary intake patterns that will improve the overall health of Americans. Preservatives per se have not been associated with health status (al-though foods that contain preservatives may be more highly processed and may be higher in fat, sugar, and sodium and lower in nutrients than foods without preservatives). Buying locally grown foods may be a good agricultural and economic practice, but does not affect health status. Eating more animal-based foods would be the opposite of what is recommended.
