This article taught me the difference of "all natural" and organic and how there are some loopholes around food labels! Very interesting read. #beh103 @beh353

"Natural" is a buzz word in the nutrition labeling space. But what does it mean?

You might be surprised to learn that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t have a formal definition for “natural” as a food labeling term.

However, they do have a policy about its use in food labeling. The FDA considers “natural” to mean that nothing artificial or synthetic has been put into a food that wouldn’t be expected to be there.

FDA's policy is not meant to address food production, processing or manufacturing methods.

@foodwithsarahr @beh353 I like your holistic outlook for patients and thinking about the barriers patients may have! @beh353 #beh103

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

As a future health professional, I aspire to integrate nutrition education by empowering and motivating my patients to make healthy decisions. I will also advocate for accessible and equitable nutrition/dietary resources for underserved populations. #beh103 @beh353

@TamarC227073 @beh353 I enjoyed the layout of this article because it’s simple and easy to navigate - great for sharing to family and friends. #beh353 @beh353

This article explains what really influences children’s (dietary) behavior as well as different health promotion strategies. A great read for parents to encourage healthy behavior.

I also agree with this! There is no ideal image of health or a specific body type. #beh353 @beh353

I learned that losing weight is due to resting metabolism and this is not the same for us all. We can eat the same amount but I may be bigger than you. I won’t eve fat shame people because no one is choosing this life, they’re just dealing with their metabolism

#beh353 @beh353

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

I hope to incorporate thought communication and language when discussing nutrition. It is important moving forward, that health "looks" different on everyone. #beh353 @beh353

This is a great resource to learn about FDA approved low sugar and sugar alternatives and the effects it has on our bodies

Heard of low- and no-calorie sweeteners but not sure if they're safe? We've got you: https://t.co/OSFs78GuXL

@ReemaMirch This is also something I relate to for the same reasons! I just started to meal prep recently

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

The barrier I relate to is the lack of time to plan, shop, prepare and cook healthy foods. Getting together a nutrient dense meal takes a lot of preparation and time so I tend to opt for something quick and satiating. I’ve been working on this by meal prepping! #beh353 @beh353

I am l surprised every time I see these advertised during flu season and in the medication aisle and the minimal research to backup its immune boosting claims

[Kevin Folta @kevinfolta]

There is little/no evidence that these supplements change the severity or duration of an illness. Why does @Walgreens and @cvspharmacy sell them along with the legitimate medications containing active ingredients? How many customers are deceived? https://t.co/OSsj9bnNHE

@TamarC227073 @beh353 Hi Tamar, I used to take Flintstone vitamins as well! During my childhood, they used to be the top pediatrician recommended multivitamin but now there are so many different options for children. #beh353 @beh353

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

This article from Harvard Health outlines the updated vitamin D guidelines which states that adults that are high risk for prediabetes are recommended to take a vitamin d supplement. #beh353 @beh353

I am pleased to see that WIC is offering more diverse foods to be covered. This supports those with dietary, religious and cultural restrictions with foods.

@ounwin3 @beh353 I read over this article and I think its an excellent resource to share with struggling with their diet. I think this source is reliable as well. @beh353 #beh353

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

I would recommend the "How to Start Eating Healthy: 10 Changes You Can Make" on health by Cat Lafuente because the vocabulary is simplified for the general population and it was medically reviewed by a registered dietician, Allison Herries, RDN. #beh353 @beh353

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

I enjoyed reading this article and the importance of the SDOH model and how each factor affects our health in terms of sleep, diet, and overall wellness.

@TamarC227073 @beh353 I have seen many research articles studying the amazing benefits the Mediterranean diet has to offer especially with cardiovascular health. It sounds promising and worth a try!

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

The most interesting fad diet to me is the keto diet as it is the deprivation of one of the core food groups: carbohydrates. I am curious o the long term effects of this diet as it eliminates a necessary food group completely. #beh353 @beh353

[Julia Kim @JuliaKim2024]

The ozempic “craze” has been popularized and widespread throughout media. I wonder what the effects of these weight loss medications on people without diabetes/insulin resistance will have long term.

[Tamar Haspel @TamarHaspel]

Obesity, for the first time in forever, ticked down.

The drugs are changing everything.
