Rencontre technologique
Applications alimentaires et nutraceutiques
des technologies membranaires

Le Jeudi 2 septembre 2004
à l'Hôtel Clarion
3125, boul. Hochelaga, Sainte-Foy (Québec)

Les technologies membranaires appliquées à des fins environnementales sont bien connues. Dans l'industrie alimentaire, les procédés de filtration employés dans l'industrie laitière sont également chose courante. Il existe toutefois de nombreux autres usages moins connus et tout aussi prometteurs. L'électrodialyse, par exemple, ouvre la voie à la purification de composés nutraceutiques et à la valorisation de sous-produits de l'industrie de la transformation alimentaire. Plusieurs experts québécois du domaine se joignent au Dr Gérald Pourcelly, directeur de l'Institut Européen des Membranes (Université de MontPellier, France), pour présenter l'état de la recherche dans ce domaine et pour discuter des défis et des conditions de succès de ces technologies pour l'industrie alimentaire et nutraceutique du Québec. Cette rencontre est organisée conjointement par l'Institut des nutraceutiques et des aliments fonctionnels et le Centre québécois de valorisation des biotechnologies.

National Obesity Prevention Conference Sponsored By USDA
Released Friday, August 20, 2004
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will host a National Obesity Prevention Conference on October 25-27, 2004 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland. The goal of the conference is to identify research and actions needed to help prevent obesity by bringing together experts from government, universities, the food industry, and numerous medical and nutrition research facilities. This will be a science-based, multidisciplinary conference with a practical orientation that acknowledges the social, economic, and behavioral causes of poor dietary choices. The conference is open to the public and early registration is encouraged.

Children around the world are eating more like Americans-- and getting dangerously fat as a result
Eight-year-old Hannah McGoey lives in an upstairs apartment on a busy thoroughfare in London. She has no yard to play in, and her school holds physical-education classes just two days a week. Her busy parents tried to be careful about nutrition, giving up their Friday fish and chips, for example. But over the years, Hannah only became plumper. By the time she turned 6, children's sizes no longer fit her. "I would have to buy jeans for 12- and 14-year-olds," her mother Julia remembers, "and then cut a foot and a half off the leg."

But things began to change when a school nurse told the McGoeys about a program called MEND (mind, exercise, nutrition, diet), started by Paul Sacher, a dietitian at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Hannah enrolled last September, and by the time the program ended 10 weeks later, she had shed nearly 5 lbs. and grown more than an inch. That wasn't all. Once a shy, clingy child, Hannah, who is now 4 ft. 11 in. tall and weighs 84 lbs., brims with confidence and loves physical activity. "I didn't swim much before," she says. "Now I go swimming once a week."

Hannah McGoey, unfortunately, is a rare exception to what is rapidly becoming a global epidemic of childhood obesity. More and more countries around the world ­ even some that have been struggling to prevent starvation ­ are now wrestling with the dangers of excessive nutrition. The U.S. continues to lead the way, with as many as 37% of its children and adolescents carrying around too much fat. But other countries are rapidly catching up. According to statistics presented recently at the European Congress on Obesity in Helsinki, Finland, more than 20% of European youngsters between the ages of 5 and 17 are either overweight or obese. Children in North Africa and the Middle East aren't far behind. Across Asia too, childhood obesity is on the rise, and the trend has been documented even in urbanized areas of sub-Saharan Africa.

"These figures should set alarm bells ringing in ministries of health across the developed and developing world," says Tim Lobstein, co-editor of a forthcoming report to the World Health Organization on childhood obesity. And with good reason: people who are obese as children have a high risk of becoming obese adults ­ meaning they will have a much higher risk than their slender counterparts of contracting a broad range of debilitating diseases, including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and cancer. The surge of obesity among children, in short, presages a global explosion of illnesses that will drain economies, create enormous suffering and cause millions of premature deaths. "This is a true health-care crisis," says Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, San Francisco, far bigger than severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and ultimately, he thinks, even bigger than AIDS.

According to Hungarian pediatrician Dr. Denes Molnar, fully 9% of obese children and adolescents already suffer from a premorbid condition known as metabolic syndrome. Among the most worrisome symptoms are changes in blood chemistry that can trigger future health problems. A substantial fraction of chubby kids, for example, have elevated levels of LDL cholesterol, putting them at risk for atherosclerosis. Many also have elevated blood-sugar levels, a precursor of Type 2 diabetes. Around the world, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is soaring in the under-18 crowd. As a result, complications like nerve and eye damage, which typically take years to develop, are suddenly popping up among people in their 20s.

Why do children become obese? One important factor is insulin, which enables the body to store extra calories as fat. Physical exercise helps control insulin levels, while certain foods elicit its massive release. For example, ingesting fat alone doesn't prompt a big surge in insulin, but fat combined with starches and sugar does. A child who sits in front of the TV for hours on end, eating potato chips and doughnuts, is an ideal fat-storage machine.

Genetics can make a difference as well. Those who are most susceptible to gaining weight on high-fat, carbohydrate-rich diets are those who are primed to produce high levels of circulating insulin in the first place. Among them are the inhabitants of the South Pacific island of Nauru, who ­ thanks to a surfeit of cheap, calorie-dense foods, along with a shift away from jobs requiring physical activity ­ have the unwelcome distinction of being some of the fattest, most diabetes-prone people on the planet.

Alas, the Nauruan experience, while extreme, is not unique. Asia, for instance, lags behind the U.S. and Europe in its obesity statistics, but Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the Philippines have all reported troubling increases in recent years. In China, where a one-child-per-family policy has created millions of spoiled and overnourished children (feeding a phenomenon known as little-emperor syndrome), the rise in childhood obesity is particularly alarming. Up to 10% of China's 290 million children are believed to be overweight or obese, and that percentage is expected to have doubled a decade from now.

Hannah McGoey is an example of the positive things that can happen when schools, health professionals, parents and children work together. Encouragingly, changing a family's lifestyle in healthy ways does not appear to be all that difficult. "It was a bit of this, a bit of that, more exercise, slightly smaller portions, slightly different foods," Hannah's mother recalls. And this, say health officials, is a message that badly needs to get out. Parental involvement is critical since so much of modern life ­ streets without sidewalks, housing developments without parks, schools without exercise programs ­ conspires with TV, computer games, soft-drink machines and fast-food outlets to make it hard for children on their own to avoid gaining weight.

Dieting Dangers in Kids
http://www.ivanhoe.com/channels/p_channelstory.cfm?storyid=9305
Dieting may do more harm than good in children. "One thing [dieting] can affect is bone mineral density or bone growth. Anytime you decrease caloric intake, you affect the development of the bone. A recent study also shows dieting may actually promote weight gain in children. That's because strict calorie cutting can lead to binge eating and a lower metabolism. Quick weight loss usually leads to quick weight gain. Anytime you're undereating, your metabolic rate will change, meaning it will lower itself to compensate for low-caloric intake. Parents should teach kids proper nutrition, set a good example by eating healthy themselves, encourage exercise that's fun, emphasize health, not weight, and measure success by inches, not pounds.

Lack of activity more deadly than smoking juil. 24 '04 HONG KONG (AFP) ­
Life as a couch potato is more deadly than smoking, according to new research which found more people in Hong Kong died from lack of physical activity than from tobacco consumption.
The study of Hong Kong residents aged over 35 who died in 1998 found a lack of physical activity caused more than 6,400 deaths a year, compared with just over 5,700 from smoking, the South China Morning Post reported Saturday.

Relatives of 24,079 people who died in 1998 were questioned about the amount of leisure-time physical activity the deceased engaged in during the decade before their deaths, it said. The research was carried out by the University of Hong Kong and the Department of Health. "We calculated that about 20 percent of all deaths in Hong Kong people aged 35 and above could be attributed to a lack of physical activity. This amounted to 6,450 deaths," the Post quoted Lam Tai-hing, head of the university's department of community medicine, as saying. "Deaths due to physical inactivity exceeded those due to smoking -- 5,270 in 1998," he said.

Physical activity was defined as any form of activity or exercise outside work.
"Over half of the people in Hong Kong do not have enough physical activity. We can even say that they are grossly inadequate," Lam said.

Just 29 to 36 percent of the men who died had been active at least once a month, and 30 to 36 percent of the women. The professor said smoking and lack of physical activity were both deadly. "There are many people who do not smoke, but they also have very low levels of physical activity. So the message to them is: it is fine if you do not smoke. But if you do not exercise, then you are (still) at high risk," Lam said.

For inactive adults, the risk of dying from cancer increases 45 percent for men and 28 percent for women, the researchers found. The risk of dying from respiratory ailments soars 92 percent for men and 75 percent for women, while the rise of dying from heart disease rises 52 percent for men and 28 percent for women.

Lam said even moderate increases in physical activity were beneficial to health.
"You do not have to do a lot... if you cut down your sitting time by half an hour and walk -- and you do not need gyms or stadiums to do this -- if you do a bit more walking and do a little bit more house cleaning, these would be beneficial," Lam said.

The research findings are published in the latest issue of the US-based Annals of Epidemiology.

Cracks in the low-carb fad
Toronto Star
Low-carb diets are in the hot seat. While the South Beach Diet and the Atkins Diet continue to tally book sales - an estimated 30 million to date - 11 health organizations have teamed up to dispel what they call popular misconceptions about the low-carbohydrate approach and to warn about the risk of its long-term use. The Partnership for Essential Nutrition cautions that studies show the low-carb approach can starve the brain of carbohydrates, produce constipation and other gastrointestinal problems, reduce energy levels and cause difficulty concentrating. In the long run, the groups warn, the regimens can stress the kidneys and increase the risk of liver disorders, gout, coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke and several types of cancer.

"Low-carbohydrate diets conflict with decades of solid scientific research that clearly encourages us to reduce saturated fat and boost fruit, vegetable and fibre intake," said Barbara Moore, president and CEO of Shape Up America! Not only is this "magic bullet" approach wrong, Rein said, but "it has also likely led to decreased consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy foods and fibre."

The partnership also includes the Alliance for Aging Research, the American Association of Diabetes Educators, the American Institute for Cancer Research, the American Obesity Association, the National Women's Health Resource Center, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La., the Society for Women's Health Research, the University of California-Davis Department of Nutrition and the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center in Derby, Conn. Some groups receive some corporate funding in addition to other grants.

How much do americans pay for fruits and vegetables?
Released Friday, August 6, 2004
In this data product, ERS has calculated total pounds or pints purchased at retail, total dollars spent, average retail price, serving size, servings per pound or pint, and dollars per serving for each form of 57 fruits and vegetables. This collection of spreadsheets contain all the data used in the report and are presented to show exactly how ERS arrived at the costs per serving figures. Each table also includes a short narrative that complements the statistics for each fruit and vegetable, detailing the nutritional benefits of each fruit and vegetable and divulging little known facts (or trivia) as well. This information should provide users with a clearer understanding of the costs of produce, the nutrient density of most fruits and vegetables, and their contributions to a healthy diet.

Use of nutritive and nonnutritive sweeteners: ADA Position Statement
http://www.eatright.org/Public/Other/index_adap0598.cfm
Sweeteners elicit pleasurable sensations with (nutritive) or without (nonnutritive) energy. Nutritive sweeteners (eg, sucrose, fructose) are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), yet concern exists about increasing sweetener intakes relative to optimal nutrition and health. Dietary quality suffers at intakes above 25% of total energy (the Institutes of Medicine’s suggested maximal intake level). In the United States, estimated intakes of nutritive sweeteners fall below this, although one in four children (ages 9 to 18 years) can surpass this level. Five nonnutritive sweeteners with intense sweetening power have FDA approval (acesulfame-K, aspartame, neotame, saccharin, sucralose) and estimated intakes below the Acceptable Daily Intake (level that a person can safely consume everyday over a lifetime without risk).
