A life cycle assessment (LCA) assesses the environmental aspects associated with a product over its life cycle. This encompasses the extraction of raw materials associated with the product, as well as the production and distribution of energy throughout its use, its potential reuse, and final disposal. In food, this cradle-to-crave methodology is widely used to […]
‘Significant differences’ in nutrients intake found between animal-based and plant-based diets, long-term impact hangs in the balance
Sustainable nutrition and alternative proteins have been top-of-mind topics of the current century.

The study challenges the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) which suggest these protein sources are nutritionally equivalent. Consuming equal ounce-equivalent portions of animal-based and plant-based protein foods, as per the Dietary […]
Plant-and-animal protein blends are on the rise
