Letter to the Lancet re. EAT

On 17th January 2019, the EAT diet report was published in The Lancet (Ref 1). A couple of hours after seeing the report, I published this post. On 26th January, I submitted the following letter to The Lancet: This correspondence is in response to “Food in the Anthropocene” (Ref 1). Table 1 in that document set out a “healthy reference diet” based on 2,500 calories. I analyzed the micronutrients provided by the recommended diet. Notwithstanding that an adult female would consume four fifths of the diet (and nutrients); the diet was already nutritionally deficient. The most serious deficiencies were: Vitamin D – 5% of the RDA of 15mcg (Ref 2). Retinol – 17% of the RDA of 900mcg (Ref 3) – carotene conversion cannot be relied upon. Calcium – 55-65%
