Title
Influence of the Jewish Dietary Laws (Kashruth) on the Food Habits and Nutritional Intakes of Observant Jews in Montreal
Abstract
The Jewish dietary laws (kashruth), codified in Deuteronomy 14 and Levicticus 11 in the Bible, clearly set out permissible and forbidden categories of foods. A two-part study was undertaken by the author to determine adherence to the Jewish dietary laws in Montreal's secular Jewish community, and to describe and evaluate the influence of the Jewish religion and rigorous kashruth observance--in association with sociodemographic factors and health status indicators--on food habits and nutritional assessment in Montreal's ultra-orthodox sects.
