IAFNS is supporting one session and two posters at NUTRITION 2019:

Scientific Session: The Many Faces of Personalized Nutrition

Saturday, June 8th, 2019
8:30am - 11:00am
Ballroom I/II

Nutrition tailored to an individual is evolving into a diverse array of options ranging from one-on-one professional engagement to high tech/high touch. Although nutrigenomics to identify health outcome risk potential that might be modified by diet has received a lot of attention, there are many other high potential approaches available and for which the science and application to the public are successfully advancing.

The purpose of this session is to feature a diversity of options in the personalized nutrition tool box. The many faces to be featured range from high tech personalized nutrigenomics and metabolic measures that help determine likely response to dietary choices, to the rapidly developing future of do-it-yourself tools designed to motivate and track behavioral choices.

Watch all videos from this session.

Session Chair:

Alison Stieber, PhD, RD, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Presentations:

Personalized dietary management of obesity based on microbial enterotypes - Video
Mads Hjorth, PhD, University of Copenhagen Multi-nucleotide polymorphisms influence cholesterol response differently to dietary fat - Video not available
Itzel Vazquez-Vidal, PhD, University of Manitoba From diagnostics to monitoring, enabling personalized advice and an entry into personalized nutrition - Video
Claude Aebischer, PhD, DSM Can Artificial Intelligence enable dietary behavior change? - Video
Kim Stitzel, MS, RD, American Heart Association Moderated discussion - Video
Barbara Schneeman, PhD, University of California, Davis

This session is supported by the IAFNS Dietary Lipids Committee.

Bioactives RIS Group Update:

Monday, June 10th, 2019
5:00pm - 6:00pm
Room 314/315

The IAFNS Standing Committee on Bioactive Recommendations, a group of volunteer experts, will update the American Society for Nutrition Bioactives Research Interest Section on its development of a framework for developing bioactive intake recommendations. The framework is intended to provide a globally relevant process and procedure for translating evidence into consumption recommendations for bioactive dietary components that have demonstrated benefits to human health but do not have documented symptoms of deficiency.

IAFNS is supporting one session and two posters at NUTRITION 2019:

Scientific Session: The Many Faces of Personalized Nutrition

Saturday, June 8th, 2019
8:30am - 11:00am
Ballroom I/II

Nutrition tailored to an individual is evolving into a diverse array of options ranging from one-on-one professional engagement to high tech/high touch. Although nutrigenomics to identify health outcome risk potential that might be modified by diet has received a lot of attention, there are many other high potential approaches available and for which the science and application to the public are successfully advancing.

The purpose of this session is to feature a diversity of options in the personalized nutrition tool box. The many faces to be featured range from high tech personalized nutrigenomics and metabolic measures that help determine likely response to dietary choices, to the rapidly developing future of do-it-yourself tools designed to motivate and track behavioral choices.

Watch all videos from this session.

Session Chair:

Alison Stieber, PhD, RD, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Presentations:

Personalized dietary management of obesity based on microbial enterotypes - Video
Mads Hjorth, PhD, University of Copenhagen Multi-nucleotide polymorphisms influence cholesterol response differently to dietary fat - Video not available
Itzel Vazquez-Vidal, PhD, University of Manitoba From diagnostics to monitoring, enabling personalized advice and an entry into personalized nutrition - Video
Claude Aebischer, PhD, DSM Can Artificial Intelligence enable dietary behavior change? - Video
Kim Stitzel, MS, RD, American Heart Association Moderated discussion - Video
Barbara Schneeman, PhD, University of California, Davis

This session is supported by the IAFNS Dietary Lipids Committee.

Bioactives RIS Group Update:

Monday, June 10th, 2019
5:00pm - 6:00pm
Room 314/315

The IAFNS Standing Committee on Bioactive Recommendations, a group of volunteer experts, will update the American Society for Nutrition Bioactives Research Interest Section on its development of a framework for developing bioactive intake recommendations. The framework is intended to provide a globally relevant process and procedure for translating evidence into consumption recommendations for bioactive dietary components that have demonstrated benefits to human health but do not have documented symptoms of deficiency.

A Collaboration between the IAFNS Technical Committees on Food Microbiology and Sodium View the Published Workshop Proceedings

Workshop Summary

Extensive debate continues on how to lower sodium intakes of the population given that previous campaigns, related to labeling and education, have had minimal impact. The workshop objective was to connect the dots with the nutrition and public health community on why sodium reduction has been so challenging due in large part to the variety of microbial and functional roles sodium plays across different food categories. The workshop provided greater knowledge and appreciation of these challenges. The workshop broadened the dialogue and presented what we have learned in the last 5 years since the release of the Institute of Medicine’s Strategies to Reduce Sodium Intake in the United States Report about the functional challenges with sodium reduction. Speakers included the USDA Undersecretary and Chief Scientist Catherine Woteki, PhD, and FDA Office of Food Additive Safety scientist, Kasey Heintz, and experts from the Monell Institute, academia, and industry. The workshop provided an opportunity for nearly 75 experts including microbiologists, food scientists, public health professionals, and nutritionists to come together and discuss current initiatives, potential technologies, and how their challenges vary between sectors. Attendees included experts from FDA, USDA, CDC, NIH, Health Canada, the New York City Department of Health, Institute of Medicine Food & Nutrition Board, American Heart Association, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Institute of Food Technology, among others. The recommendation from the nutrition community has been to lower sodium in incremental steps so better taste acceptance is achieved in the lower sodium product. However, from a microbial food safety perspective, small changes in a product’s formulation requires that a new process validation is undertaken by the manufacturer for the new product formulation which requires sufficient time and resources depending on the product category. Discussion focused on the challenges faced when reducing or replacing sodium in foods, including technical challenges such as flavor profiles, unwanted chemical reactions and changes in texture; microbiological challenges such as decreasing water activity and reducing growth of pathogens and food spoilage organisms; and regulatory challenges and implications associated with replacing sodium chloride. Questions raised during the workshop wondered if consumers are willing to accept shorter shelf life for lower sodium levels and if an unintended consequence is increased food waste? In the effort to safely reduce sodium, the experts made recommendations on where scientific research is needed in order to make recommendations leading to improved public health. The workshop provided an outline of potential next steps in how to approach this enormous public health challenge in a systematic manner. With such a complex task at hand, even small steps are incredibly important and are the most realistic way to make progress.
