Balancing Environmental Sustainability and Nutrition: Dietary Climate Impact in Relation to Micronutrient Intake and Status in a Swedish Cohort

Current Developments in Nutrition, Volume 9, August 2025

The study demonstrates that adopting more climate-friendly diets, which typically involve reduced animal-based food consumption and lower absolute micronutrient intakes, does not substantially increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies for most nutrients. These findings underscore the importance of assessing both dietary intake and actual nutrient status when evaluating the nutritional consequences of sustainable eating patterns, supporting the potential health and environmental benefits of shifting toward climate-friendly diets.
