ADVISORY/Experts Available To Discuss Larger Food Portions in United States.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2003 TOPIC: A study conducted by researchers from the University of North Carolina found that food portions in the United States increased by 60 percent from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, according to an article by Reuters. Researchers also found that America's diet contains more unhealthy, salty foods. Larger portions and unhealthy diets combined with a lack of exercise lead to greater risks for stroke, heart disease and diabetes. The study analyzed the diets of more than 63,000 people aged two and older in three national surveys that took place in 1977, 1989 and 1996, the article says.
