A personal view of nutrition in Spain.

Abstract:

:This paper stems from the special lecture given by the author at 20th International Congress of Nutrition, held from 16 to 20 September 2013 in Granada (Spain), following for his appointment as "Living Legend" of the International Union of nutritional sciences (IUNS), in recognition of his outstanding contribution to research and development in nutritional science. The development of nutrition in Spain from the 1960s to the present, which the author had the opportunity to experience first hand, is described. The contribution covers an extensive period in the history of this science, and highlights the advances made in our knowledge of nutrition and several of the misunderstandings that existed and still exist in this science: 1) The Anglo-Saxon dietary pattern and the high incidence of death from myocardial infarction, and the subsequent recognition of the Mediterranean diet as a model of a varied and balanced and healthy eating. 2) The relationship between cardiovascular disease and the consumption of oily fish. Since the discovery of the syn - thesis of prostaglandins makes it clear that fish fat is heart-healthy. 3) The epidemic of prosperity, overweight and obesity and the appearance of miracle diets. However, there are not miracles, the only solution being a healthy lifestyle and a balanced hypocaloric diet. 4) In the field of nutrition, diet and health, the harmful effect of: "In my opinion", a single allusion that undermines all science. The author also acknowledges all the researchers whose efforts, tenacity and enthusiasm have contributed to the advances made in nutrition science in Spain. :Este trabajo deriva de la Ponencia presentada por el autor al 20th International Congress of Nutrition, celebrado del 16 al 20 de septiembre de 2013 en Granada (España), y que fue consecuencia de su nombramiento como “Living Legend” of the Internacional Union of Nutricional Sciences (IUNS), en reconocimiento a su excepcional contribución a la investigación y al desarrollo de las ciencias de la nutrición. Se describe el desarrollo de la nutrición en España desde los años 60 hasta la actualidad, desarrollo que el autor a tenido la oportunidad de vivir en primera persona. Se incluye un amplio periodo de la historia de esta ciencia, medio siglo, donde se destacan los avances en el conocimiento de la nutrición y varios de los de los grandes desencuentros de esta ciencia: 1) La recomendación del modelo dietético anglosajón y la aparición de la máxima incidencia de muerte por infarto de miocardio, y el posterior reconocimiento de la Dieta mediterránea como modelo de alimentación variada y equilibrada y saludable. 2) La relación entre la enfermedad cardiovascular y el consumo de pescado azul. A partir del descubrimiento de la síntesis de las prostaglandinas se establece con claridad que la grasa de pescado es cardiosaludable. 3) La epidemia de la prosperidad, el sobrepeso y la obesidad. Para combatir este problema aparecen las dietas milagrosas y no hay milagros, la única solución: hábitos de vida saludables y dieta equilibrada hipocalórica. 4) En el terreno de la nutrición, dietética y salud, el efecto perjudicial del: “Yo opino”. Con esta simple alusión se desautoriza a toda la ciencia. El autor también muestra su agradecimiento a todos aquellos investigadores que con su esfuerzo, tesón e ilusión han contribuido a los avances de las ciencias de la nutrición en España.
