How much do so-called ‘health foods’ really contribute to nutrient intake?
A research group led by Professor Keiko Asakura and Assistant Professor Minami Sugimoto of the Faculty of Medicine at Toho University analyzed dietary intake data of the Japanese population collected in 2012. They assessed the contribution of so-called “health foods” (fortified foods and dietary supplements) to nutrient intake. This study is expected to be useful for the formulation of health policies aimed at improving nutrient intake in Japan.
