The Vegan Society has published a very good book entitled Feeding Your Vegan Child ( and pound;9. 99), written by the dietitian Sandra Hood. In it, she reveals how parents, infants and children can thrive on a diet that avoids completely all animal products, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy foods, honey and by-products of animals such as gelatin. By using soya milk fortified with vitamin D, vitamin B12 and calcium, you can get enough of the bone-building nutrients you need to help your infants skeleton to develop while you are pregnant and when breast-feeding.

2008-06-27 Eastern European Supplement Leader Walmark Launches Prenatal Product Featuring Marteks lifesDHA(TM)

DHA is important throughout pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester when significant brain growth occurs. Maternal DHA supplementation during pregnancy and nursing significantly enhances the level of DHA available to the fetus and infant. Studies have shown that maternal DHA supplementation may improve infant developmental outcomes, such as eye-hand coordination, motor skills and attention span. Women of childbearing age who consume a typical Western diet are at risk for low stores of DHA. This is because the primary dietary source of DHA is fatty fish, a dietary choice that is not typically a staple of the Western diet. Additionally, expert bodies have advised pregnant and nursing women to limit their consumption of certain types of fish due to the potentially high levels of toxins such as mercury.

2008-07-01 Country Life Vitamins Promotes Improved Health for Celiacs

Undiagnosed celiac disease inhibits the bodys ability to absorb and digest nutrients properly, leading to vitamin deficiencies. The only treatment for people with celiac disease is the adoption of a strict, gluten free diet. However, that may not be enough to return a person to total health. When foods with gluten (which is found in wheat, rye, and barley) are removed from the diet, so are a number of important nutrients. The nutrients often lacking in a gluten free diet include B vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, and fiber. Other nutrients that can be missing from a gluten free diet might include vitamin D, magnesium, and folate (a B- vitamin). Without changes to the gluten free diet or the use of nutritional supplements, these deficiencies can last a lifetime.

2008-06-05 Peruvian Medical Federation intensifies Investigation of Herbalife Products for Potential Ban, reports Fraud Discovery Institute - EWORLDWIRE

The interview profiled certain Herbalife distributors who wholeheartedly endorsed the health and safety of their Herbalife products. However, expert nutritionist Milagros Haburto was not persuaded. He not only does not recommend the products but went so far as to say in the interview regarding meal replacement drinks that: "This is what I am questioning as a professional nutritionist, it says to substitute two daily meals with a delicious shake and have a well-balanced meal. This goes against any norm of nutrition when we are talking about a healthy diet. As a professional, I would not recommend it because my work as a nutritionist is to teach people to eat and enjoy the foods/nutrients that we can find in nature and for them to learn to combine and mix and no shake would or should replace the nutritional education (page 4).

2008-06-24 High Growth Reported for the Indulgence and Health In Confectionery: Emerging Natural, Functional and Wellness Trends

Obesity levels rising. Weight management is a growing trend within the global food and drinks marketplace. Although confectionery brands have been criticized for contributing to the rising number of overweight and obese people in the world, there is potential for credible and innovative brands to shake off this reputation and offer weight management products to people who are following low-calorie and/or low-fat diets.

The global healthy food market is growing in value and volume year-onyear driven by rising levels of diet-related illnesses such as obesity, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease; as well as consumer interest in nutrition, and technological advances in the ingredients industry. Healthy confectionery would have been something of an oxymoron just a few years ago; traditionally representing the indulgence rather than health trend. However, as the industry and consumers have become increasingly health-conscious, the development of healthy confectionery has become an imperative NPD strategy to avoid a steady and inevitable decline in sales.

2008-06-16 Orexigen(R) Therapeutics To Discuss Two Advanced-Stage Obesity Products That Target The Brains Critical Role In Regulating Body Weight

Developing products that not only target key brain pathways leading to obesity, but also those which thwart our efforts to sustain weight loss over time, represents an exciting new approach," said Dr. Tollefson. "Moreover, we are directing therapeutic actions toward the reward centers in the brain that we believe impair our ability to control what and how much we eat. The behavioral drivers of consumption, including stress, depression and food craving, lead many people to eat when they are not hungry. The resulting loss of control over food intake partly explains the current obesity epidemic. We are moving beyond the limited approach of diet, exercise and/or medical interventions to encompass the behaviors and neural mechanisms that we hope will make a real difference for patients. "
