The protein transition: what determines the animal-to-plant (A:P) protein ratios in global diets by Adam Drewnowski, Kayla Hooker

“…Their current A:P ratio is around 65:35, with two thirds of the protein coming from animal sources, meat, eggs, and dairy. Efforts to reduce the dietary A:P protein ratio to 50:50, 40:60, or below are sometimes referred to as a “healthy protein transition.”MethodsAnalyses of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Bank data were used to show that an opposing and far more important protein transition is taking place globally.ResultsIn most low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), the dietary A:P protein ratio was closely associated with, if not determined, by gross national incomes (GNI). …”

Differential Coding of Fruit, Leaf, and Microbial Odours in the Brains of <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> and <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> by Claire Dumenil, Gülsüm Yildirim, Albrecht Haase

“…Unlike <i>D. melanogaster</i>, which reproduces on overripe and fermenting fruits on the ground, <i>D. suzukii</i> prefers to lay its eggs in ripening fruits still on the plants. Flies locate fruit hosts by their odorant volatiles, which are detected and encoded by a highly specialised olfactory system before being translated into behaviour. …”

FOOD PRODUCT CONTAMINATION RISKS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF PRODUCTION by O. I. Lavrukhina, V. G. Amelin, L. B. Prokhvatilova, O. I. Ruchnova

“…Feed can be a potential source of contamination of raw materials and animal food products as a result of bioaccumulation and transfer of toxic agents and their metabolites to meat, offal, milk and eggs. Total risk for humans will be determined basing not only on consumption of plant products containing toxins, but also on secondary contaminants (toxins and their metabolites) getting in to the body with food products and animal raw materials.…”
