Posted on by

The blended learning program will enroll its first cohort of students in the fall of 2013. The Friedman Schools blended learning degree is the only masters degree in nutrition in the United States that combines week-long residencies on campus with online learning.

The blended learning format will allow students from around the world to continue living and working where they choose while they study at one of the premier research universities in the United States, said Robin Kanarek Ph.D., interim dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Nutrition is a vitally important field, and the Friedman School is committed to educating and training future leaders who can create new knowledge and apply and disseminate evidence-based information.

Following each residency session, the coursework continues in a highly facilitated online environment, building on the knowledge and relationships developed on campus. Students may attend the program full-time or part-time.

The combination of online and on-campus learning was first developed by the Friedman School to bring graduate-level nutrition education to students in the United Arab Emirates and surrounding countries. The experience our faculty members have acquired in blended learning has given us a unique ability to educate students wherever they live and advance the schools mission of improving the wellbeing of persons, communities and populations worldwide, said Lynne Ausman, D.Sc., R.D., MSNP program director and Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Professor in International Nutrition at the Friedman School.

School nutrition law takes bite out of portion sizes

Posted on by

The new federal law governing school nutrition means smaller slices of pizza and possibly higher prices for students in the Central Bucks School District.

To comply with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, pizza slices are now 2 inches smaller, said Alicia Kent, senior director at Aramark, which provides food service to the districts schools.

Aramark officials reviewed the new law and its impact during a school board meeting on Monday evening.

The 14-inch pizza slices are necessary, Kent said, to comply with the maximum calorie and grain restrictions in the new law, which went into effect this year and will be fully phased in over three years.

In addition, she said, if a student fails to select a fruit or vegetable as part of his or her meal, the cost will be higher than a student who does make that part of the meal. Thus, a student selecting a slice of pizza and milk will pay more than a student purchasing pizza, an apple and milk.

If they dont take a fruit or vegetable they are charged a la cart pricing, Kent said. Theres a little bit of sticker shock when they are coming through the line and learning what the new requirements are.

There may be a monetary impact on the district as well, she said, noting that the district will not receive reimbursement for student meals that do not meet the new U.S. Department of Agriculture requirements.

These are really significant changes of what the students are allowed to eat, she said.

Among the changes required are the use of only fat-free flavored milk, decreased sodium levels and at least half the grains offered must be whole grain. It also requires different nutrient levels for different age groups.

The new rules will be challenging for students, she said, and require education of students and parents.

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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.
