NOTE

Comparison of Danish Guidelines, Canadian Food Plate, and Portfolio-Style Mediterranean Diet

The Danish guidelines and the Canadian food plate emphasize a plant-based diet with a focus on plant proteins. Both guidelines prioritize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and plant-based protein sources. Additionally, the Canadian guidelines suggest consuming plant-based proteins more often. Following these guidelines can align well with a portfolio-style Mediterranean diet, resulting in a high score. However, the portfolio diet specifically highlights the importance of plant sterols for individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease, recommending two grams daily through supplements or fortified foods. This emphasis on plant sterols is not present in the Danish guidelines or the Canadian food plate, making it a distinct feature of the portfolio-style Mediterranean diet for those needing additional cardiovascular support.
