Do low-carbon-emission diets lead to higher nutritional quality and positive health outcomes? A systematic review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate what is known about the relative health impacts, in terms of nutrient intake and health outcomes, of diets with reduced greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE).

Design

We systematically reviewed the results of published studies that link GHGE of dietary patterns to nutritional content or associated consequences for health.

Setting

We included studies published in English in peer-reviewed journals that included data on actual and modelled diets and enabled a matched comparison of GHGE with nutrient composition and/or health outcomes.

Subjects

Studies included used data from subjects from the general population, who had taken part in dietary surveys or prospective cohort studies.

Results

We identified sixteen eligible studies, with data on 10
