"Coronary Heart Disease, Cancer, Hypertension, Diabetes These chronic diseases are, in part, manifestations of nutrient excesses and imbalances in the »affluent« diet, so they are in principle, largely preventable." Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases, WHO, 1990, p. 14.
"A substantial amount of epidemiological and clinical data indicates that a high intake of plant foods and complex carbohydrates is associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases, especially coronary heart disease, certain cancers, hypertension, and diabetes." Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases, WHO, 1990, p. 99.
"Nutrition is coming to the fore as a major modifiable determinant of chronic disease, with scientific evidence increasingly supporting the view that alterations in diet have strong effects, both positive and negative, on health throughout life.
Most importantly, dietary adjustments may not only influence present health, but may determine whether or not an individual will develop such diseases as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes much later in life. However, these concepts have not led to a change in policies or in practice. In many developing countries, food policies remain focused only on undernutrition and are not addressing the prevention of chronic disease." Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases, WHO, 2003, page 2.
