The 2022 Atwater Lecture, "#Nutrition Misinformation: Who's Right? Who Gets to Decide," is from Alice Lichtenstein, DSc, a fatty acid expert and researcher working in #cardiovascular disease, including uncovering the dangers of trans fat. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
Despite three recent updates to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, #diet quality has not improved. We're not moving the needle for the average American. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
Why aren't we moving the needle? Misinformation and nutrition confusion seem to be major contributors. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
Personal biases are put on food that go beyond the nutrition facts label. Many of these are contrary to the science (e.g. frozen being higher in nutrition in many cases). #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
Instead of looking at the minor difference in the healthiest dietary patterns (diets), we need to focus on the predominant commonalities, which are really the key nutrition message. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
We must also look at the whole diet (dietary patterns) instead of individual foods. That's really what nutrition is all about after all. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
There is no single diet for everyone. Personal preferences, access, needs, etc. need to be incorporated. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
We need to teach our youth about the foundations of health, so they can set healthy eating patterns for life (and promote healthspan). #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
The terminology and labels often add to confusion. Education will help. Nutrition science and communication should also be more precise (not using terms interchangeable or inaccurately). #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
Better arming the public to choose healthy foods will empower them to improve their health. Now, they are often just giving up on label reading. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline

There are 3 types of intermittent fasting: alternate day (ADF), 5:2, and TRE. What do clinicians fear about ADF? Binging. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
Not so patiently waiting for the next session. 🙃 Can't wait to dive into dietary protein and muscle metabolism in healthy aging! #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
One of the key takeaways from Dr. Paddon-Jones's work is that the American style of eating--backloading protein--is problematic for muscle protein synthesis. The most catabolic period is after the overnight fast. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
Kicking off day 3 with more on ultra processed foods (a theme?). This time in the context of #PlantBased diets (aka plant-centered) and how we can increase plant intake while avoiding ultra processing. #Nutrition2022#NutritionLiveOnline
