### Details

 

HealthBridge Nutrition Advisor Peter Berti and former colleague Cynthia Fallu were co-authors of a recently published paper: [A systematic review of the nutritional adequacy of the diet in the Central Andes](https://healthbridge.ca/images/uploads/library/PAHO_J_2014_Berti_-_Review_of_nutritional_adequacy_in_Andes.pdf).

They concluded, in part: "The inadequate intake of some micronutrients is common in many the Global South, but the extremely low intake of dietary fat found in the central Andes is not. Increased consumption of animal-source foods would increase fat intakes, while also addressing micronutrient deficiencies."
