Preamble:
The Foods and Beverages that people Consume have a profound impact on their Heatlh. The Scientific Connection between Food and Health has been well documented for many decades, with substantial and increasingly robust evidence showing that a Healthy Lifestyle–including following a Healthy Dietary Pattern–can help people achieve and maintain Good Health and reduce the risk of Chronic Diseases throughout all stages of the Lifespan: infancy and toddlerhood, childhood and adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy and lactation, and older adulthood. The core elements of a Healthy Dietary Pattern are remarkably consistent across the Lifespan and across Health Outcomes.
