This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guideline provides updated global, evidence-informed recommendations on the intake of free sugars to reduce the risk of NCDs in adults and children, with a particular focus on the prevention and control of unhealthy weight gain and dental caries. The recommendations in this guideline can be used by policy-makers and programme managers to assess current intake levels of free sugars in their countries relative to a benchmark. They can also be used to develop measures to decrease intake of free sugars, where necessary, through a range of public health interventions. Examples of such interventions and measures that are already being implemented by countries include food and nutrition labelling, consumer education, regulation of marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages that are high in free sugars, and fiscal policies targeting foods and beverages that are high in free sugars. This guideline should be used in conjunction with other nutrient guidelines and dietary goals, in particular those related to fats and fatty acids (including saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids), to guide development of effective public health nutrition policies and programmes to promote a healthy diet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem Statement: The American diet has a lot of items with added sugars, which can cause diseases, including diabetes, heart problems, and obesity. The origins and dynamics of added sugar intake in the US population were examined in several research. Most added sugars in the ordinary American diet—13% of total daily calories—come from sugary drinks and sweet baked goods. Several social, economic, and racial groups have this propensity. With increased added sugar consumption worldwide, other nations also observe similar trends. Soft drinks are the main source of added sugars for children and teenagers, whose vulnerability to excessive sugar consumption is greater than that of other age groups. To solve this issue, examining the relationship between the consumption of added sugars and its effects on immune system performance is critical. Purpose of the Research: The study aimed to determine whether sugar consumption affects the work of the immune system. Methods Used: The study used a qualitative type of research. A total of 60 recent qualitative and quantitative studies were examined. Data was collected through a systematic review and analyzed using descriptive statistics and narrative synthesis. Results: The results showed that sugar consumption was positively connected with the emergence of health problems. Particularly, 18 separate health problems were linked to eating too much sugar. Healthy sugar consumption should not exceed 10.5% of total calories per day. Hence, the amount of sugar in each meal or beverage should not be higher than 10.5%, with the remaining amount being naturally occurring sugar. The consumption of fructose has been connected with favorable immune system-suppressing effects. In contrast, glucose was mostly linked to advantageous immunosuppressive effects, and one study reported it could enhance the immune system. The consumption of added sugar was negatively linked with the generation of t- and b-cells. It was discovered that natural glucose is beneficial for the growth of t-cells and b-cells. Some types of glucose inhibited the growth of t-cells and b-cells. Conclusion: The dissertation determines that the consumption of added sugars suppresses the immune system. Keywords: natural sugars, added sugars, immune system

Book excerpt: A leading childhood nutrition researcher and an experienced public health educator explain the hidden danger sugar poses to a child's development and health and offer parents an essential 7- and 28-day "sugarproof" program. Most of us know that sugar can wreak havoc on adult bodies, but few realize how uniquely harmful it is to the growing livers, hearts, and brains of children. And the damage can begin early in life. In his research on the effects of sugar on kids' present and future health, USC Professor of Pediatrics and Program Director for Diabetes and Obesity at Children's Hospital Los Angeles Michael Goran has found that too much sugar doesn't just cause childhood obesity, it can cause health issues in kids who are not overweight too, including fatty liver disease, prediabetes, and elevated risk for eventual heart disease. And, it is a likely culprit in the behavioral, emotional, and learning problems that many children struggle with every day. In a groundbreaking study, Goran's team conducted a detailed analysis of the sugary products that kids love and found that these yogurts, cereals, sodas, and juices often had more sugar than advertised and also contained different types of sugar than were being disclosed. Today's children are not just consuming more sugar than ever, but they are consuming sugars that are particularly harmful to them--and their parents don't even know it. The news is dire, but there is also plenty of hope. We can prevent, address, and even in many cases reverse the effects of too much sugar. In this guide to "Sugarproof" kids, Dr. Goran and co-author Dr. Emily Ventura, an expert in nutrition education and recipe development, bust myths about the various types of sugars and sweeteners, help families identify sneaky sources of sugar in their diets, and suggest realistic, family-based solutions to reduce sugar consumption and therefore protect kids. Their unique "Sugarproof" approach teaches parents to raise informed and empowered kids who can set their own healthy limits without feeling restricted. With a 7- and 28-day challenge to help families right-size sugar in their diets, along with more than 35 recipes all without added sugars, everyone can give their children a healthy new start to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diet is a major factor in health and disease. Controlled, long-term studies in humans are impractical, and investigators have utilized long-term epidemiological investigations to study the contributions of diet to the human condition. Such studies, while valuable, have often been limited by contradictory findings; a limitation secondary to systematic errors in traditional self-reported dietary assessment tools that limit the percentage of variances in diseases explained by diet. New approaches are available to help overcome these limitations, and Advances in the Assessment of Dietary Intake is focused on these advances in an effort to provide more accurate dietary data to understand human health. Chapters cover the benefits and limitations of traditional self-report tools; strategies for improving the validity of dietary recall and food recording methods; objective methods to assess food and nutrient intake; assessment of timing and meal patterns using glucose sensors; and physical activity patterns using validated accelerometers. Advances in the Assessment of Dietary Intake describes new avenues to investigate the role of diet in human health and serves as the most up-to-date reference and teaching tool for these methods that will improve the accuracy of dietary assessment and lay the ground work for future studies.
