Task Force Information

Objectives

The Task Force focuses on understanding the link between carbohydrates and public health, particularly regarding glycaemic control and the role of dietary fibres. To do so, identifying the types and quantities of carbohydrates that should be consumed to optimise health is key.

Activity Overview

Ongoing

- Carbohydrate and Protein intake interaction during aging

The activity aims to review and publish evidence on possible influences of the type of carbohydrates (digestible and non-digestible) and protein ingestion on post prandial metabolism at acute and medium to long term effect.

Start date: March 2023 | End date: Q4 2025

- Precision nutrition

The Expert Group aims to address precision nutrition in a narrative review exploring its definition, approach, translation into practice, and future perspectives. Increasing evidence suggests that a one-size-fits-all approach is ineffective, and that personalized nutrition could help reverse the rising prevalence of chronic metabolic diseases. The expert group will have a physical workshop in Q2 2025 to discuss the translation of precision nutrition into primary prevention and relevant considerations.

Start date: Q3 2024 | End date: Q4 2025

In the pipeline

The Task Force is considering developping the following new activities:

  • Evidence review on Plant-based foods role of carbohydrates.
  • Evidence review on Carbohydrates & mental health.

Carbohydrate and protein intake interaction during ageing

 

Background and objectives
This activity aims to review and publish evidence on possible influences of the type of carbohydrates (digestible and non digestible) co-ingested with proteins on post-prandial metabolism at acute (within a day) and medium to long term effect (several days to months) :

- The effect of proteins on carbohydrate metabolism and blood glucose homeostasis.
- The effect of carbohydrates on muscle protein synthesis and breakdown and muscle mass.

Output
The resulting scientific publication may be applied in selecting carbohydrates and proteins to better adapt the protein & carbohydrates quality to target a healthier profile of foods. It may help to:

- Optimize the mix of carbohydrates and proteins to minimize the potential deleterious effects of some carbohydrate on health (i.e. potentially limiting exacerbation of glycemic excursions)
- Compensate for poorer quality or intakes/ utilisation of proteins (e.g. plant-based diets, ageing populations), and also highlighting research gaps.

Precision nutrition to prevent chronic metabolic diseases

Background and objectives

There is increasing evidence that one size does not fit all and that personalised nutrition/lifestyle approaches may help in reversing the increasing prevalence of chronic metabolic diseases.

The activity will address the following aspects of personalised nutrition: definition, approach, translation into prevention practice and perspectives.

Output

The expert group will address objectives using a systematic approach and finalize the scientific review by organizing a physical workshop to discuss perspectives and include insights from the workshop in the review.

It aims to provide guidance for healthcare professionals, health authorities, and the food industry on how to effectively implement and utilize precision nutrition in the context of various factors such as sleep, physical activity, socioeconomic status, and psychosocial factors.
