The One You Feed: Identifying Specific Interactions of Dietary Fiber Structures and the Microbiota That Ferment Them
March 24, 2021
Virtual, Webinar
The gut microbiome is known to respond rapidly to dietary changes, but the idiosyncrasy and dynamics of individuals’ gut microbiota make predictive understanding of the impact of diet on the structure and function of gut microbiota elusive. Dietary fibers are increasingly appreciated for their role in preserving microbiome – and gut – health and this presentation will review recent research in the area.

Fortification Workshop: New Findings and Implications for Vitamins and Minerals
June 21, 2012
Washington, DC, USA
In an environment of over-consumption, it is of great interest that Americans simultaneously fail to meet the Dietary References Intakes (DRIs) for many nutrients. Fortification is a way to supplement intakes of the population at large without having to rely on consumer choice. The Forticiation Committee’s workshop will provide attendees with an improved understanding of the value of fortification and the success of current fortification efforts and practices. Additionally the workshop will address the potential future role of fortification in nutrient adequacy, which includes benefits and risks.
