For instance, increasing intake of whole grains and lowering intake
of sodium appeared to be cost-neutral, and lowering intake of red
and processed meat could produce substantial cost savings. Aligning
these findings with the food group–level analysis of GHG impact
can reveal where dietary improvements can be achieved both costneutrally
and with benefit to the environment. Here, we found that
improving accordance to 4 of the 8 DASH food groups—by reducing
intake of red and processed meats and dietary sodium and
increasing intake of whole grains, nuts, and legumes—achieved
