Show notes

Authors: Zerleen S. Quader, MPH, Cathleen Gillespie, MS, Sarah A. Sliwa, PhD, Jaspreet K.C. Ahuja, MS, Jinee P. Burdg, MPP, RD, LDN, Alanna Moshfegh, MS, RD, Pamela R. Pehrsson, PhD, Janelle P. Gunn, MPH, RD, Kristy Mugavero, RN, MSN, MPH, and Mary E. Cogswell, RN, DrPH. High sodium intake from a variety of foods makes children vulnerable to heart disease later in life, according to a new report. Sodium reduction is considered a key public health strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases nationwide. This study, the latest in ongoing CDC efforts to monitor U.S. sodium intake, points to 10 types of foods that make up almost 50% of kids' sodium intake. (10.1016/j.jand.2016.09.010)

Chan School of Public Health to improve the selection and consumption of healthier school foods. (DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2015.07.019)

The Healthy Beverage Index is associated with reduced cardio-metabolic risk in US Adults: A preliminary analysis Oct 12, 2017

Show notes

Authors: Kiyah J. Duffey, PhD; and Brenda M. Davy, PhD, RD. Virginia Tech researchers talk about how and why they developed the Healthy Beverage Index (HBI) and describe how this tool can be used to more accurately evaluate dietary consumption of all types of fluids. They found that higher HBI scores were associated with more favorable lipid profiles, decreased risk of hypertension; and, among men, better C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. (DOI: 2010.1016/j.jand.2015.05.005).

Dietary Supplementation in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Common, Insufficient and Excessive Associations between depressive symptomatology, diet, and BMI among participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Oct 12, 2017

Show notes

Authors: Patricia A. Stewart, PhD, RD; Susan L. Hyman, MD; Brianne L. Schmidt, RD; Eric A. Macklin, PhD; Ann Reynolds, MD; Cynthia R. Johnson, PhD, BCBA-D; S. Jill James, PhD; Patricia Manning-Courtney, MD. Parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder sometimes try nutritional supplements and dietary regimens such as gluten-free and casein-free diets without professional supervision in an attempt to improve their children's symptoms. In the largest study of its kind, researchers report that these well-intentioned efforts can result in both insufficient nutrients and excessive nutrients.(DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2015.03.026).

Associations between depressive symptomatology, diet, and BMI among participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Oct 12, 2017

Show notes

Authors: Karen R. Florez, DrPH; Tamara Dubowitz, ScD; Madhumita (Bonnie) Ghosh-Dastidar, PhD; Robin Beckman, MS; and Rebecca Collins, PhD . Presentation: Dr. Karen R. Florez presents the results of a new study that reports that for people receiving food assistance there are significant links between depression, poor dietary quality, and high body mass index (BMI). They suggest that understanding the risk of depression among SNAP participants could be important to understanding the relationship among SNAP participation, diet, and weight. (DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2015.01.001).

Daily Blueberry Consumption Improves Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Postmenopausal Women with Pre- and Stage 1-Hypertension: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Oct 12, 2017

Show notes

Authors: Sarah A. Johnson, PhD, RD, CSO; Arturo Figueroa, MD, PhD, FACSM; Negin Navaei, BS; Alexei Wong, MS; Roy Kalfon, BS; Lauren T. Ormsbee, MS; Rafaela G. Feresin, MS; Marcus L. Elam, MS; Shirin Hooshmand, PhD; Mark E. Payton, PhD; and Bahram H. Arjmandi, PhD, RD. Interview: Dr. Arjmandi and Dr. Johnson discuss the results of a new study that found that daily consumption of blueberries for eight weeks resulted in significant reductions of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Considering the prevalence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, preventive strategies such as dietary modifications (e.g. functional foods and dietary supplements) that aim to improve hypertension and its related complications are warranted.
