This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, tremendous growth has occurred in the use of nutrition symbols and rating systems designed to summarize key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. These symbols and the systems that underlie them have become known as front-of-package (FOP) nutrition rating systems and symbols, even though the symbols themselves can be found anywhere on the front of a food package or on a retail shelf tag. Though not regulated and inconsistent in format, content, and criteria, FOP systems and symbols have the potential to provide useful guidance to consumers as well as maximize effectiveness. As a result, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to undertake a study with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to examine and provide recommendations regarding FOP nutrition rating systems and symbols. The study was completed in two phases. Phase I focused primarily on the nutrition criteria underlying FOP systems. Phase II builds on the results of Phase I while focusing on aspects related to consumer understanding and behavior related to the development of a standardized FOP system. Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols focuses on Phase II of the study. The report addresses the potential benefits of a single, standardized front-label food guidance system regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, assesses which icons are most effective with consumer audiences, and considers the systems/icons that best promote health and how to maximize their use.

Book Synopsis Dietary Reference Intakes by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Dietary Reference Intakes written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-04-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1997, the Institute of Medicine has issued a series of nutrient reference values that are collectively termed Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). The DRIs offer quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets. Using the information from these reports, this newest volume in the DRI series focuses on how the DRIs, and the science for each nutrient in the DRI reports, can be used to develop current and appropriate reference values for nutrition labeling and food fortification. Focusing its analysis on the existing DRIs, the book examines the purpose of nutrition labeling, current labeling practices in the United States and Canada, food fortification practices and policies, and offers recommendations as a series of guiding principles to assist the regulatory agencies that oversee food labeling and fortification in the United States and Canada. The overarching goal of the information in this book is to provide updated nutrition labeling that consumers can use to compare products and make informed food choices. Diet-related chronic diseases are a leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States and Canada and helping customers make healthy food choices has never been more important.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal guidance on nutrition and diet is intended to reflect the state of the science and deliver the most reliable recommendations possible according to the best available evidence. This guidance, updated and presented every 5 years in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), serves as the basis for all federal nutrition policies and nutrition assistance programs, as well as nutrition education programs. Despite the use of the guidelines over the past 30 years, recent challenges prompted Congress to question the process by which food and nutrition guidance is developed. This report assesses the process used to develop the guidelines; it does not evaluate the substance or use of the guidelines. As part of an overall, comprehensive review of the process to update the DGA, this first report seeks to discover how the advisory committee selection process can be improved to provide more transparency, eliminate bias, and include committee members with a range of viewpoints for the purpose of informing the 2020 cycle.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1938 and 1941, nutrient intake recommendations have been issued to the public in Canada and the United States, respectively. Currently defined as the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), these values are a set of standards established by consensus committees under the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and used for planning and assessing diets of apparently healthy individuals and groups. In 2015, a multidisciplinary working group sponsored by the Canadian and U.S. government DRI steering committees convened to identify key scientific challenges encountered in the use of chronic disease endpoints to establish DRI values. Their report, Options for Basing Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) on Chronic Disease: Report from a Joint US-/Canadian-Sponsored Working Group, outlined and proposed ways to address conceptual and methodological challenges related to the work of future DRI Committees. This report assesses the options presented in the previous report and determines guiding principles for including chronic disease endpoints for food substances that will be used by future National Academies committees in establishing DRIs.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What foods should Americans eat to promote their health, and in what amounts? What is the scientific evidence that supports specific recommendations for dietary intake to reduce the risk of multifactorial chronic disease? These questions are critically important because dietary intake has been recognized to have a role as a key determinant of health. As the primary federal source of consistent, evidence-based information on dietary practices for optimal nutrition, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) have the promise to empower Americans to make informed decisions about what and how much they eat to improve health and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The adoption and widespread translation of the DGA requires that they be universally viewed as valid, evidence-based, and free of bias and conflicts of interest to the extent possible. However, this has not routinely been the case. A first short report meant to inform the 2020 review cycle explored how the advisory committee selection process can be improved to provide more transparency, eliminate bias, and include committee members with a range of viewpoints. This second and final report recommends changes to the DGA process to reduce and manage sources of bias and conflicts of interest, improve timely opportunities for engagement by all interested parties, enhance transparency, and strengthen the science base of the process.

Download or read book Volume 2: Issues and Challenges in Conducting Systematic Reviews to Support Development of Nutrient Reference Values: Workshop Summary written by U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Dietary Supplements requested the Tufts Medical Center Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) to conduct an exercise to identify the issues and challenges of including evidence-based methods as a component of the process used to develop nutrient reference values (such as the Dietary Reference Intakes [DRI]) issued by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). This work was performed under a task order issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality EPC program. The Tufts EPC assembled a group of nutrition experts from academic institutions and relevant federal government agencies, led participants in teleconferences and meetings, conducted exercises in formulating questions that would be amenable to systematic reviews of the scientific literature, and identified the challenges and limitations of applying this method to processes previously used to establish nutrient reference values. This report summarizes the impetus behind this project, approach taken, and the lessons learned. Nutrient reference values have significant public health and policy implications. This type of dietary guidance is needed for planning diets, assessing the adequacy of diets in individuals and populations, developing nutrition education and guidance, and for setting reference values for nutrition labeling. The IOM Food and Nutrition Board has issued reports on the DRIs for a wide range of nutrients. Six reports have been published and are organized around groups of nutrients. Contents of the reports include a summary of what is known about the nutrient function in the human body, selection of indicators of adequacy of nutrient intakes or nutrient levels, factors that may affect how the nutrients are utilized and that affect requirements, and how nutrients may be related to the prevention of chronic disease across age groups. Various study committees were convened to evaluate a body of available scientific evidence for specific nutrients. Primarily human studies were reviewed and selected animal studies were used when human data are absent or conflicting. Available evidence was weighted according to quality, peer review status, biological plausibility, and whether similar estimates would be derived from different indicators. However, the process of establishing DRIs has been variable and has evolved as experience accrued from study committees. Concern has been expressed that in some cases the methods used to determine DRIs have suffered from a lack of transparency and consistency. Moreover, differences in the reference values derived by various groups of nutrition experts worldwide have been noted for the same nutrient when all presumably have used the same body of available evidence. Given the importance of defining reliable nutrient reference values, there is a need for an explicit, objective, and transparent process to set these values. Evaluating evidence is a major component of informing the process. Because new studies are constantly being published, it would also be desirable to have a framework that allows efficient updating when new information becomes available. Although the mandate to different committees around the world has previously been different, with the globalization of the food supply and health risks it should be expected that evaluating similar evidence will result in similar recommendations. Over the past 15 years, the concept of evidence-based medicine building upon the foundation of systematic reviews, meta-analyses and related methods as important tools for evidence-based practice, has gained widespread acceptance in the evaluation of medical evidence for healthcare decision-making. The application of this approach to evaluating the nutrition literature could provide for the transparent, comprehensive and objective evaluation of scientific evidence and could provide support for a framework for a consistent approach to establishing nutrient reference values for all dietary components.
