Ultra-Processed Foods and Human and Planetary Health
The NOVA system is a food classification system based on the degree and purpose of industrial food processing. NOVA, which introduced ‘ultra-processed’ as a food category, has been widely employed within the research community, and is increasingly used by national governments, international organisations, and civil society. Ultra-processed foods (UPF) are defined as formulations of food-derived substances (e.g., fats, sugars, starch, protein isolate) that contain little if any whole food and include classes of additives whose function is to make the final product palatable or more appealing (‘cosmetic additives’), like colours, flavours, and emulsifiers. The impact of the production and consumption of ultra-processed foods on human and planetary health has been acknowledged and has started to gather global attention more recently. Because UPFs have become dominant components in diets of populations worldwide, there is an urgent need to scrutinise the human health, sustainability, and food environment impacts across a range of populations and country contexts and to understand the implications of their consumption for health inequalities.
The Marginalized in Death
This volume bridges the gap between forensic and cultural anthropology in how both disciplines describe and theorize the dead, highlighting the potential for interdisciplinary scholarship. As applied disciplines dealing with some of the most marginalized people in our society, forensic anthropologists have the potential to shed light on important and persistent social issues that we face today. Forensic anthropologists have successfully pursued research agendas primarily focused on the development of individual biological profiles, time since death, recovery, and identification. Few, however, have taken a step back from their lab bench to consider how and why people become forensic cases or ...
The Routledge Companion to Applied Qualitative Research in the Caribbean
This cutting-edge book provides a comprehensive examination of applied qualitative research in the Caribbean. It highlights the methodological diversity of qualitative research by drawing on various approaches to the study of Caribbean society, addressing the lack of published qualitative research on the region. Featuring 17 chapters, the book covers five key areas, namely Overview and Introduction; Gender, Crime, and Violence; Gender and Intimate Partner Violence; Health, Management, and Public Policy; and Migration and Tourism. Throughout the course of the book, the chapters explore how different kinds of qualitative research can be used to inform public policy and help deal with a myriad ...
Soda Science
Takes readers deep inside the secret world of corporate science, where powerful companies and allied academic scientists mold research to meet industry needs. The 1990s were tough times for the soda industry. In the United States, obesity rates were exploding. Public health critics pointed to sugary soda as a main culprit and advocated for soda taxes that might decrease the consumption of sweetened beverages—and threaten the revenues of the giant soda companies. Soda Science tells the story of how industry leader Coca-Cola mobilized allies in academia to create a soda-defense science that would protect profits by advocating exercise, not dietary restraint, as the priority solution to obesi...
Discapacidad y Universidad
En el ámbito de la Universidad de Buenos Aires existe un marco reglamentario que garantiza que se respete el derecho de todas las personas a acceder a la educación superior. Para ello, hay una serie de condiciones mínimas que deben cumplirse y que son indispensables para que ese derecho sea observado. Este análisis se centra en la consideración del camino que a veces separa la disposición de una norma y su efectivo cumplimiento específicamente en el colectivo de los alumnos con discapacidad que llevan adelante sus estudios en la Universidad pública.
Estudios de responsabilidad civil
A raíz de los recientes y muy diversos pronunciamientos de nuestras altas cortes, así como del avance doctrinal en la responsabilidad civil, este texto nace del deseo de unificar criterios en el de por sí problemático derecho de daños. En este tercer y último tomo de Estudios de responsabilidad civil continuamos con el análisis sistemático y coherente que caracterizó los dos tomos previos. Las diversas temáticas relativas a la responsabilidad civil fueron abordadas con el mismo rigor académico e investigativo. Igualmente, los capítulos fueron escritos de cara a una pregunta problematizadora que guio la labor de cada uno de los autores.

Des maladies qui touchent surtout les populations les plus vulnérables et dont l’incidence a explosé avec la mondialisation. Dans ce document magistral, la chercheuse Mélissa Mialon révèle l’écrasante responsabilité des industriels dans la dégradation de l’état de santé de la population : - Fabrication de produits malsains : aliments ultra-transformés, alcool, certains médicaments (Mediator)... ...
Quem vai fazer essa comida?
Hoje, depois de décadas de pesquisas científicas e questionamentos à indústria do fast-food, sabemos que os alimentos ultraprocessados são grandes promotores de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, como diabetes e hipertensão, além de contribuírem para a destruição da natureza, já que se apoiam sobre monoculturas de commodities como soja, trigo, milho e cana-de-açúcar. Também sabemos que a comida de panela feita em casa com ingredientes frescos ou minimamente processados é a melhor opção para nutrir o corpo, fortalecer as culturas regionais e respeitar o meio ambiente. Mas, como questiona Bela Gil em seu novo livro, quem vai fazer essa comida? A partir da pergunta, a che...
