Martins, S; Meireles, M; Caetano, E; Correia, D; Carvalho, C; Silva, CC; Magalhaes, V; Vilela, S; Lopes, C; Torres, DuarteFlavonoids are a key class of polyphenols, i.e., phytochemical compounds present in foods and beverages, which have been described as having health benefits in preventing several chronic diseases. Estimating flavonoid intake has already been conducted in several countries but has yet to be performed in Portugal. This study included 5005 participants aged 3-84 years and aimed to estimate dietary flavonoid intake...

While evidence links alcohol marketing to increased consumption, the effectiveness of marketing ban...
Health and environmental impacts of shifting to plant-based analogues: a risk-b...
Carvalho, C; Correia, D; Costa, SA; Pereira, R; Oliveira, A; Pinto, E; Lopes, C; Torres, DuartePurposePlant-based analogues (PBAs) simulate animal-based foods' attributes and can facilitate adherence to flexitarian and vegetarian dietary patterns, which have been associated with health benefits. However, possibly classifying PBAs as ultra-processed (UPF) and excluding healthy animal-based foods (e.g., fish) can result in unintended health risks. This study aims to quantify the health and environmental im...

Ocké, M; van Rossum, C; Carvalho, C; Severo, M; Correia, D; Oliveira, A; Torres, D; Lopes, CThe availability of detailed and high-quality food consumption data is essential for EFSA's risk assessments. In 2014, EFSA published the EU Menu guidance on collecting such data in a harmonised way. The ERA EU Menu project aims to give evidence-based recommendations for updating the EU menu guidance. Based on a literature review on the landscape of methods and tools available for national dietary surveys, less...
