How Your Diet In Childhood
Can Affect You for Life
Most of us tend to pick up healthful eating habits when we’re well into middle age, when we’re already likely on the way toward a number of chronic health conditions. But the latest study on diet suggests that it’s much better to start earlier, during childhood, to load up on things like blueberries and kale, according to TIME.
Low-Fat and Low-Carb Diets Show Little Success In the Long Term
Some diets claim you must eat less fat to have any hope of losing weight. Others insist the only way to shed pounds is to shed carbs. A new study suggests that it doesn't much matter which diet you follow, according to CNN. |

Exploring Evidence-Based Use in Cancer Prevention and Cardiovascular Health
Presented by Karen Collins, MS, RDN, CDN, FAND, on Wednesday, December 9, 2015 from 2-3 pm EST, this webinar will help dietitians address these questions, not relying on any single study, but based on the overall landscape of current research. Focused especially on adult use of antioxidant, vitamin D, omega-3, and multivitamin supplements, we will look at the background behind divergent findings on potential protection and concerns about potential lack of benefit or even risk.

Specialty Foods Finder for Diets,
Allergies, and Preferences
The Ingredient1 (www.Ingredient1.com) app, available for iOS, finds specialty foods in local stores based on users’ dietary restrictions and/or allergies. Users enter their specialty needs and their taste preferences, and Ingredient1 finds appropriate products in surrounding stores. Once a user’s preferences are entered, the app accounts for what the user is craving at a specific moment—crunchy, small, savory, non-GMO, and a variety of other food attributes. Ingredient1 offers nine dietary options to mix and match: “I eat anything,” dairy-free, GMO-free, gluten-free, kosher, organic, Paleo, vegan, and vegetarian. Learn more »
