New Publication: What Happens If Artificial Intelligence Writes a Diet?

19 August 2025 Tuesday

The scientific study conducted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. H. Merve Bayram, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Head of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Istanbul Gelisim University, has been published in the “Journal of Food Composition and Analysis”, which is indexed in SCI-Exp and ranked in the Q1 category.

In this study, sample 1500 kcal menus generated by popular artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4o, Claude, and Mistral for the five most searched diets on Google Trends (Ketogenic, Paleo, Mediterranean, Intermittent Fasting, and Raw Food) were analyzed. The results revealed up to 67% differences in energy values (1055–2273 kcal), a variation of 65 grams in protein content, and deficiencies in critical micronutrients such as calcium and iron in some menus.

The findings highlight that while AI-based diet recommendations can be inspirational, they are not reliable on their own. Professional expertise is essential to ensure healthy and balanced nutrition.

We congratulate Assoc. Prof. Dr. H. Merve Bayram for this valuable scientific contribution and wish her continued success.Click here to access the full text of the article.
