    March 30, 2018 The American Society for Nutrition (ASN) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed topics and supporting scientific questions that will be considered during the development of the upcoming 2020-2025 edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs), and encourages that the scientific evidence base be the final determinant to guide which topics require updates. ASN is a scientific, professional society with more than 7,000 members, nutrition scientists, and researchers around the world who conduct nutrition research to help all individuals live healthier lives. ASN commends the USDA and HHS for adding additional steps to the development process for the DGAs to increase stakeholder involvement and transparency. We appreciate the life stage approach that has been proposed for the topics included within this edition of the DGAs, especially given the important addition of dietary guidance for pregnant women, as well as infants and children birth to 24 months of age, and older adults. ASN supports each of the life stages that have been proposed to be addressed. We also appreciate the continued focus on dietary patterns and support a total diet approach, which includes intake of food groups, nutrients, and bioactive dietary components, given the complex interactions of foods and beverages consumed and their impact on health. ASN also notes that dietary guidance must support the various cultural, social, and economic factors that affect individual dietary patterns and eating behaviors and habits, such as snacking and dietary supplement intake. Dietary guidance is most effective when it is practical and actionable for most Americans. The need to balance nutrients, foods, and behaviors to achieve a healthful eating pattern should be highlighted, and a continued focus on calorie reduction and chronic disease and obesity prevention should be emphasized.

  • Of Infants in a Prompt and Loving Manner Will Help Infants Develop a Sense of Trust in the World
    Infants A child development checklist and tips booklet This booklet was a project of the Pinellas Early Childhood Collaborative and was written by early childhood professionals in the community. The project was funded by a grant from the Juvenile Welfare Board. The booklet is one in a series of resource booklets on child development. The series contains: • Infants • Ones • Twos • Threes • Fours To obtain booklets in this series please call 727-547-5800. Introduction Starting Out You are your infant’s first and most important teacher. During your daily routines, your infant is learning as you interact together through holding, talking, and playing. Child development is a combination of age, individual growth, and experience. Your infant will progress at his/her own rate; however, your involvement will promote optimal development. Infants are dependent upon adults to meet their needs. The daily interactions you have with your infant while you hold, feed, and diaper are important parts of the learning process. Play is an essential part of learning. Your infant learns best when involved in activities that are age appropriate, interesting, and fun. Your infant will learn by doing activities which include exploring and discovering. This booklet is designed to help you look at your infant's physical, social, emotional, and cognitive (concept and language) development. It provides checklists and tips to help guide you as you work and play with your infant. The checklists contain items that are important to your child's brain growth and learning potential. These checklists are designed for infants from birth through 12 months of age.

  • Child Care Center Model Health Policy
    READ THIS FIRST… This document is a model health policy for child care centers. It includes both WAC items and what is currently considered to be best practice when caring for children from American Academy of Pediatrics‟ Caring for Our Children 3rd edition. To meet licensing requirements, a health policy must be individualized for each child care center. This document contains many sections marked in red. Replace the words in red font with the specific information relevant to your center. Make sure to take out any words in parentheses or in italics that were put in to help you complete this document. Do not hesitate to add additional wording to reflect your center‟s policies. Anything you write in should be in red font. Items in green are best practice, rather than required, and can be removed if you choose. We will change all the font colors to black when our review is finalized. Make sure you read through the entire policy as you work on it. If any items are unclear or are in conflict with what you do at your center, make any necessary changes to reflect your own center‟s practices. For example, if you do not care for infants, make sure to remove all sections from your plan that relate to infants. Call the Child Care Health Outreach Program (CCHOP) or your licensor if you have questions, or need clarification on which items are required by WAC. Any changes to black type must still meet WAC requirements. You may click on any WAC referenced throughout this template to view the entire regulation.

In this pursuit, it attempts to bridge the gap between analyses that view food safety problems through the separate lenses of the state regulatory apparatus and industry governance. It offers state-business interaction as a critical and fundamental component in both of these food safety mechanisms, particularly in the case of China where certain party-state activities can operate within industry chains.

Simon 1,2,3 1 Department of Biomedical Engineering, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-5281, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Biochemistry and Cellular Biology, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-5281, USA 3 Department of Pathology, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-5281, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 November 2020; Accepted: 30 November 2020; Published: 2 December 2020 Abstract: Fluoride exposure has adverse effects on human health that have been studied in vitro in cell culture systems. Melanocytes are the melanin pigment-producing cells that have a significant role in the regulation of the process of melanogenesis, which provides several health benefits. Melanocytes are present in the oral cavity, skin, brain, lungs, hair, and eyes. However, to date, there has been no study on the effects of fluoride exposure on melanocytes. Hence, in the current study, we have studied the effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) exposure on neonatal human epidermal melanocytes (HEMn) derived from two different skin phototypes, lightly pigmented (LP) and darkly pigmented (DP). We have assessed the impact of a 24 h and 72 h NaF exposure on metabolic activity and membrane integrity of these cells. In addition, we have evaluated whether NaF exposure might have any impact on the physiological functions of melanocytes associated with the production of melanin, which is regulated by activity of the enzyme tyrosinase. We have also assessed if NaF exposure might induce any oxidative stress in LP and DP melanocytes, by evaluation of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) levels.

  • Scientific Opinion on Dietary Reference Values for Vitamin D
    EFSA Journal 2016;volume(issue):NNNN 1 DRAFT SCIENTIFIC OPINION 1 2 Scientific Opinion on Dietary Reference Values for vitamin D 3 EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition, and Allergies (NDA)2,3 4 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy 5 ABSTRACT 6 Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and 7 Allergies (NDA) derived Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) for vitamin D. The Panel considers that serum 8 25(OH)D concentration, which reflects the amount of vitamin D attained from both cutaneous synthesis and 9 dietary sources, can be used as biomarker of vitamin D status in adult and children populations. The Panel notes 10 that the evidence on the relationship between serum 25(OH)D concentration and musculoskeletal health 11 outcomes in adults, infants and children, and adverse pregnancy-related health outcomes, is widely variable. The 12 Panel considers that Average Requirements and Population Reference Intakes for vitamin D cannot be derived, 13 and therefore defines Adequate Intakes (AIs), for all population groups. Taking into account the overall evidence 14 and uncertainties, the Panel considers that a serum 25(OH)D concentration of 50 nmol/L is a suitable target value 15 for all population groups, in view of setting the AIs. For adults, an AI for vitamin D is set at 15 µg/day, based on 16 a meta-regression analysis and considering that, at this intake, most of the population will achieve a serum 17 25(OH)D concentration near or above the target of 50 nmol/L.

  • FSSAI Updates Infant Nutrition Standards to Ensure Infant Food Safety
    FSSAI updates infant nutrition standards to ensure infant food safety Tuesday, 15 January, 2019, 14 : 00 PM [IST] Our Bureau, New Delhi FSSAI recently updated the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations to ensure that infant food produced in India is as safe as possible. It requires the strictest food safety standards to protect the nutritional value of the product and the health of young consumers. While the entire food and beverage industry needs to adhere to high hygiene levels, infant formula or other powder-based early life nutrition (including baby milk, follow on milk, and growing up milk) has even more pressure placed on it, because the children consuming these products are still developing their immune systems, and so, contaminants can cause more or irrevocable harm compared to adult consumers. Creating a business that is able to reliably manufacture, process and move large quantities of such contamination-sensitive foodstuffs in a sterile and safe environment requires the careful consideration of each aspect of the operation. The sanitary integrity of infant food production facilities is obviously a key part of this chain, and so, must adhere to the strictest benchmarks of quality and sanitation. Proper hygienic design in a food processing facility should achieve a number of goals, including keeping away pests and microbiological niches, avoiding product contamination from chemicals (for instance, cleaning agents, lubricants, peeling paint, etc.) and particles (for instance, glass, dust, iron, etc.), facilitate regular floor and wall cleaning and preserve clean conditions both during and after maintenance. One aspect of any infant food facility that needs particular attention is the floor, as if the right finish is not chosen, it can become a prime site for the accumulation of bacteria that could infiltrate and contaminate produce.
