Dietary Help Can Boost Cancer Patients' Nutrition, But Not Survival

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Good dietary advice and supplements can boost nutrition while improving quality of life in malnourished cancer patients, a new study finds.

However, the interventions do not appear to affect survival for these patients, according to the findings published in the Feb. 15 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

For the study, Christine Baldwin, a lecturer in the nutritional sciences division at King's College London, and colleagues analyzed data from 13 clinical trials that included a total of more than 1,400 cancer patients who were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Some of the patients received oral nutritional support (dietary advice and/or supplements) while others received routine care.

Oral nutritional support had a wide range of effects on both weight and energy intake, and led to improvements in aspects of quality of life, such as emotional functioning, shortness of breath and loss of appetite. However, this type of intervention had no effect on patient death rates, the study authors noted in a journal news release.

The level of benefit varied between patients, and the authors concluded that "it is likely that the factors such as site and stage of disease and, indeed, variations in the duration, nature and intensity of the nutritional intervention will account for difference in effects in patients."

International guidelines have suggested oral nutritional intervention for malnourished cancer patients or those who are at nutritional risk, but these suggestions are based largely on expert opinion as opposed to clinical trials, according to background information in the study.

Commenting in an editorial accompanying the study, Ann O'Mara and Diane St. Germain of the U.S. National Cancer Institute wrote that "until future research provides clearer answers regarding who will benefit from nutritional interventions, the use of a comprehensive assessment, published nutritional guidelines and early interventions are essential."

Food, nutrition to be focus of FSU commencement

In a first for Framingham State University, this springs commencement will revolve around a central theme: food, hunger and nutrition.

It just seemed to come together and make sense, school spokesman Dan Magazu said of the commencement planning committees new approach to the May 20 graduate and undergraduate ceremonies. Its obviously a relevant topic a lot of food banks across the country are seeing more requests than ever.

Catherine DAmato, this years undergraduate commencement speaker, is president and CEO of one of them, the Greater Boston Food Bank. New Englands largest hunger relief organization, the food bank distributes more than 31 million pounds of food and grocery products every year.

Its really a pretty amazing organization, Magazu said.

DAmato has led the charitable business for the past 17 years. Prior to that, she headed up the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.

Im certain our students will be inspired by her story and her long-term dedication on behalf of the hungry, Framingham State President Timothy Flanagan said.

While Framingham State students infrequently work directly with the Boston-based food bank, many volunteer at the United Way of Tri-Countys new Pearl Street Cupboard & Cafe pantry, which gets many of its food stock and supplies from the organization.

Paul Mina, president of the United Way of Tri-County, is to receive one of two Citizen Laureate Awards that Framingham State will award at the commencement. The other will be given to Katie Millett, executive director of the Office for Nutrition, Health and Safety Programs within the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

The school will also confer an honorary doctor of humane letters degree to Farm Aid, a Cambridge-based nonprofit that helps farmers stay on their land. The organizations executive director, Carolyn Mugar, will accept the degree at the ceremony.

Patricia Luoto, FSUs food and nutrition professor and director of the schools John C. Stalker Institute of Food and Nutrition, will serve as speaker at the graduate commencement.

ANFP Launches Nutrition & Foodservice Edge(tm) Magazine

Newswise — (St. Charles, Illinois – Feb. 8, 2011) The Association of Nutrition & Foodservice Professionals (formerly the Dietary Managers Association) has launched its newly redesigned and renamed magazine, Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™.

Formerly titled Dietary Manager, the updated publication includes a new cover design, new typography and expanded content designed to align the magazine more closely with ANFP’s new mission and goals as an organization. The new name was chosen because it helps symbolize much of what ANFP hopes to deliver for its members, said CEO and President William St. John, CAE.

“The word ‘edge’ signals cutting-edge, contemporary content,” he said, “and it summarizes our pledge to our members: We want to give them the professional edge in their jobs every day. Helping them succeed is a priority for us. ”

Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™ was launched after a long process that included reader surveys and focus groups. Editor Diane Everett said ANFP considered many titles before narrowing the choice down to Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™. According to Everett, the new magazine will continue to focus the core of its content on how-to articles, first-person experiences, and what she called “succinct news you can use.”

“Our magazine has historically been an educational resource for foodservice and nutrition professionals, including access to content that can be applied to Continuing Education credits for maintenance of the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) credential,” she said. “Today these individuals have increasing responsibilities in the workplace and our aim is to ensure they have the timely, relevant content they need to stay informed and on top of trends.”

Among the new features in the magazine is “Leaders & Luminaries,” a column that will introduce a visionary in the field of nutrition, foodservice, and leadership each month. “The column will introduce our readers to inspiring people, who will share their hard-won lessons and business philosophies,” Everett said. Other new features will be launched in the coming year, she said.

In addition to updating the look and content of Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™, ANFP has also appointed an editorial advisory board, which will offer guidance as the magazine continues to evolve. The new board includes:

Enid Borden, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels Association of America: Jo Anne Brown, RD, Consultant Dietitian; Richard Hynes, Director, Consultant Services, Hobart Corp.; Ruby Puckett, MA, FCSI, Director, Dietary Manager Training, University of Florida Division of Continuing Education; Michael Roddey, MS Ed, CDM, CFPP, CCE, CCC, FMP, Department Chair/Assistant Professor, University of Alaska Fairbanks–TVC; Marty Rothschild, President, Aladdin Temp-Rite; Bob Sala, CEO, Distribution Market Advantage; and Renee Zonka, CEC, RD, MBA, CHE, Dean, School of Culinary Arts, Kendall College.

ANFP changed its name as a part of a strategic rebranding initiative that began in early 2010. The initiative is designed to better align the association with the needs of its members and a changing professional environment. In addition to changing its name, it has introduced new membership categories and is adding new products and services for members.

Nutrition & Foodservice Edge™ is published 10 times annually and includes a variety of special themed issues during the year. For information about magazine content or advertising opportunities, please contact ANFP at 800-323-1908.

Please stop making nutrition complicated

Good nutrition does not need to be complicated. Seriously. (Michael S. Wirtz / Staff Photographer)

Below is the first blog entry from Beth Wallace, a registered dietitian at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who will be blogging regularly for us on kids and nutrition.

When people meet me for the first time in a social setting and find out I am a dietitian, things generally go one of three ways:

They say, “Oh, great!  You can put me on a diet,” then check my plate to see what I am eating. They immediately hide their food and say, “Please don’t look at what I’m eating; I generally eat really well,” then check my plate to see what I am eating. They immediately ask me four to seven rapid-fire questions about the latest and greatest diet  or new nutrition study, then check my plate to see what I am eating.

The consistent message is that everyone has questions about food — and no one wants to be judged. What people don’t realize is that the last thing my colleagues and I want to do when we walk out of the hospital is evaluate what other people are eating (unless it looks really delicious), and then make a judgment about their weight, their health, or what they must feed their children. 

What I would like you to do is to continue to look at my plate. Why? Because I want you to see how simple I make nutrition for myself. 

I am constantly surprised by the answers I get when I ask a child: “What does eating healthy mean to you?”  I frequently hear “not too many carbs” and “not eating trans-fats.”  These complex nutrition ideas are far beyond the cognitive ability of a 10-year-old to understand, let alone put into healthy practice. Yet that is what I hear time after time. As a society, we’ve flooded ourselves with nutrition misinformation and forgotten the simple fundamentals. 

What I would really like to hear from someone, someday, is, “Eating to give your body what it needs to do its best.”  It is that simple. The good news is that I honestly believe that most people, including kids and teens, inherently know what things our bodies need to function at their best. Just in case, let me help:

Water. Your body is about 60 percent water and that number is higher in young children. The water in your body sustains life’s functions in your brain, blood, lungs and kidneys. Your body is not made up of fruit punch, energy drinks or soda. It actually needs water. Energy. This comes from, believe it or not, carbohydrates.  Low carbohydrate = low energy. Try to make them healthy whole grains. Fruits and vegetables. In their whole form.  Eating them in their natural form maximizes their source of vitamins, fiber and minerals. Please step away from the apple juice, and grab the actual apple. Protein. Lean meat, fish, dairy, beans and nuts. You’ve got this one. I know it. Dairy (or non-animal substitute). For bone health and an additional source of protein.

If you stop and think, “Does my body need this today?” — and suggest your kids do the same — you can start to simplify the eating patterns for your family without the calorie-counting stress, and second-guessing of ingredients. (And, yes, sometimes your body does need a red velvet cupcake.  Sometimes.)

Practical Nutrition: Websites can help you track food intake and exercise

By: MARY-JO SAWYER | SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT Published: March 21, 2012 Updated: March 21, 2012 - 12:00 AM

So how are those New Year's resolutions coming along? Since it's already March and National Nutrition Month, it's a good time to check in.

If you're like some people, resolutions have been long forgotten.

That's the problem with resolutions. We make vague goals but fail to back them with a plan.

That missed weight-loss goal might be a cause of stress right now, especially with swimsuits already showing up in the stores. A healthy goal is losing 1 to 2 pounds per week. Start executing a plan now, and you'll see some weight loss before summer.

First, visit ChooseMyPlate.gov to learn how many calories you need to lose weight. Make your profile, and then click on "My Plan" to determine calories. The site also shows the recommended servings of each food group to consume each day. From there you can track your meals and snacks in the site's new "SuperTracker," searching the "Food-A-Pedia" database of more than 8,000 foods.

Two other popular websites include myfitnesspal.com and sparkpeople.com. They also calculate calorie needs and allow you to track your daily food intake. But they have larger food databases, including brand name and restaurant foods. The duo offers other tracking tools, too, plus interaction among site members.

Both websites have free smartphone apps, making it even easier to track your progress. There are plenty of other nutrition apps available, although some may charge a fee. Try them out to see which one you find easiest to use.

If you're more old school, pick up a calorie-count book and write down what you eat. There are many good books available to meet your specific needs.

Books such as "The Complete Book of Food Counts, 9th Edition: The Book That Counts It All," by Corinne T. Netzer, show calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat, cholesterol, sodium, and fiber content of foods.

Nutrition Push May Be a Little Better for Kids, Great for Disney

Disney is pushing healthier food options. But will kids bite?

"With this new initiative, Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the U.S.--and what I hope every company will do going forward."

That is Michelle Obama's view on Disney's new guidelines to curb junk food advertising. It's publicity that money can't buythe First Lady simultaneously heralding your company as a leader in its field and inviting other companies to follow suit. The decision clearly comes with political heft behind it, but how meaningful of a change the company is making remains in question.

[Read about the CBO's latest dismal debt projections.]

Under the new guidelines, all food and beverages advertised, sponsored, or promoted on outlets including the Disney Channel, Radio Disney, and Disney websites will have to conform to limits on areas like caloric, sodium, and sugar content.

"We've been looking at the Disney criteria they're using, and they're a little bit better than the criteria that the food industry already uses, but they're not great. So by no means will this limit children's exposure to junk food," says Jennifer Harris, director of marketing initiatives at Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.

She points to the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a program in which some of the nation's largest food companies have come together to self-regulate the products advertised to children. Harris notes that the Disney guidelines differ little from the CFBAI guidelines already in place.

For example, Disney's new guidelines allow meals marketed to children to have no more than 600 caloriesthe same limit established by the CFBAI. Disney and CFBAI also both allow a six-ounce yogurt to have a maximum of 170 calories. Likewise, both allow 350 calories for a main dish or entree.

To be fair, cutting calories is still cutting calories; the company allows slightly lower counts of calories for several other foods, like cereals (130 per ounce versus CFBAI's 150 per serving for most children's cereals) and juice (140 for eight ounces versus CFBAI's 160 per serving), as well as "mini-meals" (400 versus CFBAI's 450 for "small meals").

Barangay Nutrition Scholars: Davao’s Food Revolution Warriors

Written By: Patmei Bello Ruivivar Tuesday, 31 July 2012 Category: Lifestyle

As part of Davao Citys Nutrition Month celebration, a summit of Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) from the 182 barangays in the city was held last Friday, July 27, 2012 at the DMMA gym in Tigatto.

With the summit theme of BNS Katambayayong sa Syudad sa Dabaw, the BNS was tasked to be the partners of the city in implementing the Davao Food Revolution in all barangays. A joint program of the City Government of Davao and the Mindanao Commission on Women (MCW), the Davao Food Revolution is an advocacy campaign for access to affordable healthy food in public schools and low-income communities.

To feed their children healthy food at home, parents must have ready access to stores that sell affordable healthy food. Unfortunately, neighborhood stores in low income communities tend to sell a lot of processed food and junk food. Even the street food available are not really nutritious or even prepared safely and hygienically.

According to the BNS volunteers at the summit, children will choose healthy food over junk food if it is readily available, affordable, and convenient to eat. So they all got excited when the MCW Mothers for Peace Organic Food Cart came to the summit to let the BNS volunteers taste the healthy food made of organic ingredients. The food samples served were camote binangkal, malunggay pulvoron, camote tops juice, and ginger with lemongrass juice made of fresh, local and organic ingredients from healthy recipes developed by the City Agriculture Office.

Healthy food need not be expensive if people grow their own food in their home gardens and community gardens. The Food Revolution encourages people to have control over how their food is produced, prepared, sold, and consumed. It discourages dependence on big corporations that mass produce food that may not necessarily be healthy. With the rising cost of health care, it is wise for the city to invest in nutrition by providing funds to child nutrition programs, making fruits and vegetables available in school canteens, implement wellness policies and expand nutrition education.

The healthy food carts can also be a social enterprise for women in low-income communities. MCW has set up a Mothers for Peace Fund to support women micro-entrepreneurs who want to engage in the production and retail of healthy food in schools and communities.

Join the Food Revolution now!

Good nutrition should start at home, but new school lunch rules probably a good thing

I read this week that new nutrition rules go into effect this fall for school cafeterias. For the most part, this is probably a good thing, given the fact that a lot of kids these days are carrying way too much weight for their age.

However, it is my humble opinion that proper nutrition for children should probably start at home long before they enroll in school. Given what I saw at the ballpark this summer, it's no surprise that some children have developed a bit of a weight problem by the time they hit first grade.

I watched in amazement a few weeks ago as a "portly" mother pushed her "husky" child in a stroller into the ballpark. The first thing Mom did was pop open a Mountain Dew and poured it into her son's sippy cup. The next thing to come out of the diaper bag was a bag of Oreos. Mom went to the concession stand and bought a big mess of chips and cheese and what looked to me like a foot-long Snicker bar. Of course, they shared.

Inning three It was back to the concession stand for another foot-long candy bar and a bag of popcorn with triple-extra butter and a 24 ounce bottle of fully-leaded Mountain Dew. Is it any wonder this child might develop a weight problem by the time he hits the public school system?

When I attended grade school in Carmi, Ill., we had a wonderful cook. Jo Colson and her staff paid close attention to the kids that came through the cafeteria line. She knew exactly who needed better nutrition and more calories, and who needed to watch their waistline.

I don't remember having free or reduced price meals back then. If you didn't have lunch money, you were given an opportunity to work in the cafeteria to get your meals free. If I had a nickel for every meal tray I scraped and every table I helped clear when I was in grade school, I'd probably be a millionaire today. But I had plenty to eat.

Unlike today, I was quite skinny back then. Some people said I was so skinny, I didn't cast a shadow. Mrs. Colson saw to it that I had plenty to eat, and never went home from school hungry.

It's certainly not my place to tell the Mountain Dew and Oreo packin' mama that she's turning her son into a porker. She will have to figure that out for herself.

But, here's why I think the new school cafeteria nutrition rules that go into effect this year are a good thing. It is a fact that for many children, the meals they get at school will be the best and most nutritional food they'll get all day long. If they get good food in school, and we can teach them good eating habits at a very young age, perhaps their children will be even healthier.

Obesity, nutrition may up kidney stones

Published: Sept. 5, 2012 at 9:50 PM

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Increased obesity and poor nutrition may be fueling the increase in kidney stones in U.S. adults, a food expert says.

"It is possible that better reporting and treatment options for kidney stones may have contributed to the numbers, there are other factors that might lend themselves to the development of kidney stones in children and adults -- the increase in obesity and poor nutrition," Phil Lempert, a food industry analyst, trend watcher and creator of supermarketguru.com, said in a statement. "Low fluid intake and high intakes of sodium as well as animal fat and proteins can contribute to kidney stones as well."

A study by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Rand Corp. found the number of U.S. adults getting kidney stones nearly doubled since 1994.

"Hydration and a proper diet are the best ways to prevent stone formation. Drinking fresh lemon in water may help reduce the risk of kidney stone formation," Lempert said in a statement. "Lemon juice increases the level of citrate in the urine, which in turn may prevent the formation of kidney stones."

For some, avoiding certain high-oxalate foods may aid in preventing kidney stones including: Swiss chard, rhubarb, spinach, beets, wheat germ, soybean crackers, peanuts, okra, chocolate and sweet potatoes. Medium-oxalate foods include grits, grapes, celery, green pepper, red raspberries, fruitcake, strawberries, marmalade and liver, the Oxalosis and Hyperoxaluria Foundation said.

Nutrition: Nine questions every athlete should ask before taking a supplement

Elite sport dietitian examines the benefits of nutritional supplements

Windsor, ON--Nutritional supplements claim to improve athletic performance, but not all supplements are created equal. According to Nutrition Australia life member Glenn Cardwell, athletes vary greatly in their response to training, environmental conditions, psychological barriers, and nutritional supplements, which makes it difficult to assess the value of proposed ergogenic aids. "Improvement is not proof that a supplement works. It may be just a convenient coincidence," says Cardwell, author of the forthcoming new edition of Gold Medal Nutrition (Human Kinetics, May 2012). "Proof only comes when the same result can be repeated time and time again."

Before taking a nutritional supplement Cardwell advises assessing its potential value by asking nine vital questions.

"Based on current knowledge, the best regimen for achieving optimal performance is to avoid excess body fat, drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, eat enough carbohydrate to fuel your training program, eat adequate protein for muscle growth and repair, and eat for good health," Cardwell says. "Most nutritional supplements do not enhance sports performance in well-nourished athletes."

For more information on Gold Medal Nutrition, 5E or other nutrition resources, visit http://www.HumanKinetics.com or call 800-465-7301.

Product Description Gold Medal Nutrition is a comprehensive manual covering the areas that most concern athletes, including what and when to eat and drinkand why. The book explains how to use nutrition to maximize sport performance. It includes information on determining the best supplements to use as well as athlete-specific eating tips.
