Preeminent Medical Association Issues Statement Calling For More Physician Training, Oversight for Expert Nutrition Care

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Physicians representing the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) today issued a position statement strongly recommending enhanced medical doctor training for and renewed focus on treatment of patients clinical nutrition needs.

At a time when the prevalence of nutrition-related illnesses is escalating significantly, both with ambulatory and hospitalized patients, many medical societies are reporting an inadequate number of physician members trained in this important specialty, said M. Molly McMahon, M.D., FACE, professor of medicine with Mayo Clinic Rochesters Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, Diabetes, Nutrition and Internal Medicine, co-chair of the AACE Nutrition Committee and lead author of the position paper. Healthy nutrition is important for health promotion, disease prevention and disease treatment. We wish to develop focused nutrition education for endocrinologists, highlight the value of physician nutrition expertise, and address barriers in clinical nutrition practices to enhance clinical outcomes.

AACE is proposing a four-pronged strategy to address the problem: coordination of CME-accredited advanced nutrition education and training for clinical endocrinologists; an accompanying certification process; collaboration across the many medical disciplines and organizations with interests in nutrition to foster a critical mass of expertise across specialties; and widespread recognition and support of new models for physician-directed nutritional practices that will focus on the value created by such teams as relates to clinic outcomes and quality of life issues.

The statement is published in the September/October 2012 edition of the associations peer-revised medical journal Endocrine Practice (https://www.aace.com/files/position-statements/nutrition.pdf).

UP govt may reconsider Rs 9,000-crore nutrition supply contract to baron

Lucknow, Nov. 19 -- Ponty Chadha's death may cost his group the Rs. 9,000-crore contract to supply food under the supplementary nutrition food programme in Uttar Pradesh.

Sources in the child development and nutrition department said, "To maintain his grip over nutrition supply, Ponty Chadha ensured that the contract was tailor-made for his company and the rivals were automatically eliminated. The technical bid that opened last week was finalised in the favour of Chadha's Great Value Food. However, his death has forced the state government to re-think."

A senior officer said, "The opening of the financial bid (the final approval for the contract) has been delayed." It indicates that new players might gain entry into the nutrition supply business at the cost of Great Value Food.

The UP government had finalised the contract in violation of the Supreme Court order of 2004, according to which only self-help groups, mahila mandals and village communities should be given contracts. Also, instead of annual tenders, the state government had decided to finalise the contract for three years.

Some firms supplying nutritious food in other states had challenged the tender before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court. The matter is expected to come up before the court on Monday.

Chadha's firm had bagged the tender in 2009 too during the BSP regime.

His sudden death has also cast a shadow over the distribution of nutrition through 90,000 anganwari centres across Uttar Pradesh. Since 2005, Great Value Food has maintained its monopoly over the nutrition supply business in UP. As Chadha's network spreads across 75 districts in the state, very few companies can now fill the gap.

Sambhu Nath, the director of child development and nutrition department, said there will be no adverse impact on the distribution of nutrition among the children and pregnant women as the state government has already finalised the technical bid for the supply. "The company has assured the government that it would maintain regular supply of nutrition to all the centres in the state."

However, the ground reality does not reflect Nath's enthusiasm. The head of Kushati village in Barabanki district, about 40 km from Lucknow, Lalchand, said the supply of nutrition has dried up since October.

"I have lodged a complaint with the SDM but he told me that the private company that was supplying nutrition has put the supply on hold. The children and pregnant women who got regular nutrition at the centre are suffering," said Lalchand.

RightSize® Health & Nutrition Celebrates Weight Loss Success In New Clinical Trial

CHICAGO, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The results are in: RightSize smoothies can help both men and women lose at least a pound a week when consumed as part of a proper diet plan, according to a new study published in Current Nutrition and Food Science this month.

The 12-week clinical trial was conducted earlier this year by Alimentix, an independent clinical testing firm based in Minnesota. In the trial, participants consumed a RightSize smoothie for breakfast and lunch each day along with healthy snacks and a sensible dinner as part of their customized 500-calorie deficit diets.

On average, participants lost a pound or more each week, which nutrition experts say is ideal because slow, steady weight loss is best for long-term health. While most diets fail because people are hungry all the time, participants replacing two meals a day with RightSize smoothies stated they felt full for over two hours until their next snack or meal. The great taste and convenience of the smoothies were an added benefit. Many of the participants also said they had more energy and felt better about themselves, both physically and emotionally.

"We are very pleased with the results of the clinical trial. Consumers can feel confident that RightSize smoothies can help them reach their weight loss goals when consumed as part of an appropriate diet plan," said Don Lillard, Vice President of Research & Development at RightSize Health & Nutrition.

Each serving of RightSize contains 15 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber when prepared with skim milk. RightSize smoothies also contain natural ingredients such as green tea and ginger root extracts, and provide 30 percent of the recommended daily allowance of 20 essential vitamins and minerals. RightSize comes in four delicious flavors: Lean Cocoa Bean, SkinniVanilli, Slend-A-Berry, and Leano Cappuccino.

Visit the new RightSize web site http://www.myrightsize.com for more information on the clinical trial and to find smoothie recipes, weight loss plans and weight management tools.

WHO Calls For Expanded Nutrition Interventions

WHO News Release

WHO Calls For Expanded Nutrition Interventions To Avert Child Deaths

HANOI, 25 September 2012With solid evidence pointing to proper nutrition as essential for survival, health and development, the World Health Organization raised malnutrition high on the agenda of the Regional Committee for the Western Pacific.

The Regional Committee, WHO's governing body in the Region, is meeting in Hanoi from 24 to 28 September to review WHO's work in the Region and to set future directions to improve the health of the Regions people.

Addressing the Regional Committee, Dr Shin Young-soo, WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific, said that despite a drop in undernutrition rates in the Region, "there is no room for complacency as the levels of maternal and young child undernutrition continue to be too high. At the same time, the rising rates of obesity and noncommunicable disease represent an epidemicone that is growing fast in our Region. This double burden of malnutrition leads to long-term negative impacts on the health and development of the people and for the economies of Member States."

Adequate provision of nutrients, beginning at the earliest stages of life, is essential to ensure good physical and mental development and long-term health and productivity.

Dr Shin warned that many countries in the Region now tend to focus on the problem of overnutrition even as undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies continue to be a problem.

In an effort to address malnutrition, the Regional Committee, composed of 37 countries and areas in the Western Pacific, pledged to scale up and sustain cost-effective nutrition interventions aiming to prevent more than 100 000 under five-year-old child deaths per year in the Region. This means saving more than 270 lives of children under five years every dayor 11 lives per hour.

Dr Shin urged the Regional Committee to expand areas for action, to identify targets and priority actions in health and other sectors, and to adopt a time frame and indicators for monitoring.

The Regional Committee is set to endorse a resolution to scale up nutrition, based on the WHO Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition. It called for increased investment in 20122025 to expand nutrition interventions, with targets to reduce substantially the double burden of malnutrition and related mortality and morbidity, including stunting and wasting, anaemia in women and low birth weight. At the same time, the plan seeks to increase exclusive breast-feeding and to stop the rapid increase in obesity among children.
