The industrialization of the agri-food sector has made the western food patterns subsequently evolve for the last 50 years. Intensive agriculture has provoked a huge impoverishment of minerals in soils which has resulted in a micronutrient deficiency in raw food. These elements have massively been transformed imposing another diminution of micronutrients as well as the use of numerous food additives with no certain knowledge of the consequences this might have on people’s health in the long term. Our plates are now consequently filled with a kind of food which is much less nutritive than it used to be with a considerable rise of empty calories which is a scourge for today’s dietary practices. In addition, the number of people suffering from chronic diseases has significantly increased, among whom young patients. Auto-immune diseases are no exceptions to this including rheumatoid arthritis. People now know that auto-immune diseases have a genetic origin, still, the environmental factors are as important to trigger the clinical phase of the disease. Eating habits have a major impact on our health and their consequences are very often underestimated and should be carefully reconsidered by patients suffering from an auto-immune disease. Indeed, when it comes to rheumatoid arthritis, a persistent basal inflammation can be noticed as well as an oxydative stress peak and an alteration of the intestinal mucosa. These problems could be avoided or at least diminished thanks to better eating habits or the taking of food supplements. A dispensary pharmacist, being a medical practitioner as well, often deals with patients and has to be able to listen to their needs and therefore is one of the most indicated persons to give people advice for their eating habits according to the different pathologies they may be affected with. This advice can be given directly to the patients when they come to claim their treatment but also on the occasion of specific and private appointments the patients will have claimed. I believe that patients should be personally accompanied – that it should be part of a dispensary pharmacist’s missionnot only by delivering them the medicine they need and this to me is all the more important today since there’s a considerable lack of medical practitioners.
