21 Dec 2023 --- Consumers often perceive healthy foods as sustainable, even when this is not reality. German researchers found no association between this perception and the actual link between a meal’s environmental sustainability and healthiness. This was unrelated to other characteristics such as vegan content, gender or eating style.Nutrition Insight discusses this association between healthy and sustainable foods with the study’s authors — Dr. Gudrun Sproesser and Dr. Britta Renner, professors at the University of Konstanz, and Dr. Ulrike Arens-Azevedo, professor at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.
