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 Image
What's the purpose of #nutrition information? This one, we all seem to agree on...
#Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline Image
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 Image
Why aren't we moving the needle? Misinformation and nutrition confusion seem to be major contributors. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
There is no single diet for everyone. Personal preferences, access, needs, etc. need to be incorporated. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image

My last live session (still tons of on demand to go)! We'll be looking at the role of #nutrition and #epigenetics in health and disease. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline
Starting the talks with some unpublished work from USDA and Baylor. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline
What is epigenetics? It's alterations of the genome that support or silence gene expression. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

You've heard of #IntermittentFasting, but do you know the science? That's where @nutritionorg comes in! The next session features @DrKristaVarady, @LongoOnlus, @SatchinPanda, & @Kelsey_Lifts. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline
First alternate day fasting and time restricted eating (TER). #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
This session is in honor of a recently lost colleague. What a beautiful legacy. #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
First talk, "What are 'utra-processed' foods?" Seems like a good place to start the conversation. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline
The classification system for ultra processed foods is NOVA. Is NOVA about nutrients? Well, this seems to be. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline

#Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline Image
But first the #metabolome and polyphenols. #Nutrition2022 #NutritionLiveOnline Image
