Nouvelle approche pour les recommandations nutritionnelles en lipides

Abstract

The recent collective expertise of the National Agency of Health Safety of Nutrition, the Environment and Employment (Anses) to define the recommended nutritional intake in lipids is interesting and innovative in many respects. This is a sign of the return to nutrition as a public health service, at a time when European authorities only use two simplistic and questionable approaches to establish their recommendations: the "pharmaceutical prescription" and the "precautionary principle" approach.
