About the webinar:
Have you noticed the shift towards plant-based eating? Our upcoming webinar will update you on the science behind the ever-growing trend to include more plant protein foods in dietary advice. Professor Linda Van Horn and Dr Rosemary Stanton will showcase examples of dietary guidelines from across the globe that prioritise plant proteins in line with the well-established health benefits associated with consuming more plants. Linda and Rosemary will also give practical guidance for shifting the focus of dietary advice to plant proteins to align with the recently released Dietitians Australia Position Statement on Healthy and Sustainable Diets.
