The NEW Drink Pyramid 2015 Smiles Across America Webinar Š 2013 D.N. Stone, DMD drinkpyramid@gmail.com
The NEW Drink Pyramid • • • • • • •
Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? (not necessarily in that order)
WHO? Dr. Nikki Stone has been practicing dentistry since 1995 and is currently an Associate Professor who holds a joint appointment with the University of Kentucky Colleges of Dentistry and Medicine. She directs UK’s first regional dental program in southeastern Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia. She created the Drink Pyramid in 2000 after several years of frustration with the oral health effects demonstrated in the caries rates of the children she served in Appalachia.
WHERE? • University of Kentucky Center of Excellence in Rural Health – Hazard, KY – Southeastern KY
• Eastern Kentucky Ronald McDonald Care Mobile – Serves Head Start and elementary children in four counties
WHAT? The (NEW) Drink Pyramid Background
The Pyramids & Plates • • • • •
1916 – first USDA food guide published 1974 – first food pyramid in Sweden 1992 – first US Food Guide Pyramid 2005 – revised version www.MyPyramid.gov 2011 – revised to www.ChooseMyPlate.gov
The 1992 Food Pyramid
The 1992 Food Pyramid • The original US food pyramid was very effective. – In the 20+ years since it’s introduction, America listened and learned! Some of the outcomes: • • • •
7% decrease in saturated fat consumption 21% decrease in cholesterol consumption 4% lower blood cholesterol Decrease in US death rates for heart disease
• The original pyramid shape proved itself to be an effective tool for communicating the concepts of moderation and proportion.
The 2005 Food Pyramid
The 2005 MyPyramid
The 2005 MyPyramid (Kids)
The 2011 MyPlate
MyPyramid.com • The MyPyramid didn’t go over too well… • Why? – It was no longer simple. – You had to have a computer and enter lots of information about yourself to use it. • Lots of people don’t have computers at home!
– People don’t understand the big pile of food at the bottom, and it doesn’t show us how much we are supposed to be eating. (confused…)
2011 Choose My Plate • So, they changed it to an easier-to-understand PLATE instead…
• It only came out 2 years ago, so we don’t know how well the PLATE is working, but so far… – We are definitely not eating the right foods. – And we sure aren’t DRINKING the right drinks.
versus
Food vs. Drinks • So, Americans have been learning about what FOODS we should eat since 1992. • But we didn’t talk about what to DRINK until the MyPlate came out in 2011. – But all it says on the cup is “Dairy.” – Do you know what that means?? – Does it tell you HOW MUCH Dairy to drink?? – And why does it look like you’re supposed to be drinking something colored BLUE??
Drinks • We know that most Americans are NOT drinking what we’re supposed to… • Americans are drinking “Sugary Drinks.”
From the Pyramid to the Plate • The newer MyPyramid and MyPlate icons have been criticized for being accessible only to highincome households with internet access and computer skills. • The websites have been criticized for being too complicated, confusing, and cumbersome. • However, did you know that the PLATE icon is very similar to the BOWL that 3,000 polled Americans chose (over the pyramid!) before it was first released?
The Drink Pyramid • The new Drink Pyramid is a combination! – It includes the COLORFUL plate/bowl concept preferred by Americans in that it incorporates the visible cups filled with various drinks. – And it also incorporates the simplicity and recognition of the pyramid design to promote the concept of proportion and moderation.
WHEN? • The Drink Pyramid – was developed in 2000 – was revised first in 2009 – was revised again in 2010 – was copyrighted in its final version in 2013 – usage has spread across the nation and the world!
The Drink Pyramid • The Drink Pyramid was first piloted in several locations throughout Kentucky with remarkable success and has received a national spotlight for its message in Head Start’s National publication!
• Presentations have also been made at the National Oral Health Conference, the Southern Obesity Summit, West Virginia’s School Oral Health Conference, Kentucky Oral Health Coalition Summit, and on local Kentucky television stations.
WHERE? • The Drink Pyramid is now in use in the following locations: – – – – – – – –
Kentucky West Virginia Tennessee Oklahoma Maine Minnesota Illinois NEW ZEALAND !
The Drink Pyramid was developed by a dentist, and has obvious oral health benefits, but can also be a useful tool in targeting overall health issues obesity, diabetes, and general health behaviors.
The Drink Pyramid • Simple. • Straightforward. • Easy for children and adults with low literacy levels to understand. • Include both words and pictures to convey messages. • Include mnemonic letter cues to help aid in memorization.
The Mnemonics & Pictures • W/W: Water Whenever – 7 water glasses are pictured to represent the recommended “6-8 glasses per day.”
• M/M: Milk with Meals – 3 milk glasses are pictured to represent the typical three meals per day in American diets.
• J/J: Juice Just once a day – Just 1 glass of juice is pictured to represent the AAP recommendation for only one serving of juice per day.
• P/P: Pop only at Parties – Only 1 glass of pop is pictured to emphasize the importance of saving pop only for special occasions and not for daily consumption. • Alternate wording for northeastern populations: Soda Sometimes.
Remember…. • Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are the LARGEST source of added sugar and calories in the US population, especially among youth. • Rather than an occasional treat, SSBs have become an essential part of the US diet. – In 2009, the average American consumed
45 gallons of SSBs! • Even more for low-income Americans…
SSBs as a % of Daily Calories • In 1965, SSBs made up less than 3% of US adults daily calories. • By 2009, that had tripled to 9% for adults, and even higher for youth: – 11% for youth – 13% for teens – 16% for low-income groups
16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0
SERIOUSLY ??!! • How can this be possible? Are Americans really drinking 45 gallons a year?! • Are low income kids really consuming enough SSBs to make up 16% of their diet? – There’s only one way to find out, ASK THE KIDS! – Our dental outreach program sees over 2,000 low income kids annually, and rumor has it that eastern Kentucky consumes more Pepsi Co. products than anywhere else in the USA…
KENTUCKY KIDS • We asked the kids in EAST KY: – What did you drink this MORNING • before you came to school?
– What did you drink LAST NIGHT • when you got home from school?
• Then we also asked the kids in WEST KY too…
But before we asked them, we wondered what answers to look for? What do the “experts” say they SHOULD be drinking? • American Academy of Pediatrics recommends: – Ages 1-6 • Only 4-6 ounces a day of SSBs (this includes fruit juice!) – That’s ½ CUP
– Ages 7-18 • Only 8-12 ounces a day of SSBs (this includes fruit juice!) – That’s 1 CUP, NOT a super-size!

Where do kids get SSBs like POP? • The MAJORITY of SSBs are consumed in the HOME! Parents are buying them in alarming quantities!
– Only 1-5% come from vending machines or school cafeterias.
Can the Drink Pyramid change drink behaviors? More studies are needed, but so far, it looks like it changes drink behaviors for the better!
