The acceptability to stakeholders of mandatory nutritional labelling in France and the UK – findings from the PorGrow projectEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: There is agreement between some stakeholder groups in the two different countries, especially food chain operators. However, cultural differences emerged that could influence the impact of an EU-wide mandatory labelling scheme in both countries. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Feeding strategies used by primary school meal staff and their impact on children's eatingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Because repeated taste exposure is known to increase liking for foods, further studies are recommended to investigate how the naturally occurring feeding strategies evident in primary school dining halls could be harnessed to encourage children to taste the nutritionally balanced schools meals that school meal transformation programmes will expose them to.

Implementation of an electromagnetic imaging system to facilitate nasogastric and post-pyloric feeding tube placement in patients with and without critical illnessEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This system confers advantages, particularly in terms of post-pyloric tube placement, even at this early stage of implementation. A reduction in clinical risk and cost avoidance related to X-ray exposure, the need for endoscopic tube placement and parenteral nutrition have been achieved. The implementation of this system should be considered in other centres. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Reliability of the School Food Checklist for in-school audits and photograph analysis of children's packed lunchesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The SFC is a reliable method of measuring the foods and beverages contained in children's packed lunches when used in the school setting or for photograph analysis. This finding has broad implications, particularly for the use of photograph analysis, because this approach offers a convenient and cost effective method of measuring what food and beverages children bring to school in home packed lunches.

Communication skills for behaviour change in dietetic consultationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This study has explored an important and under-researched area. Respondents strongly endorsed the importance of good communication skills and the benefits of post-registration training in this area. Some felt that good communication was time consuming but others felt that time management had improved. Further research and training is required to support the implementation of these skills into dietetic practice. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Determination of the lactose and galactose content of cheese for use in the galactosaemia dietEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Background: Treatment of galactosaemia requires a low galactose diet. In the UK, traditionally, all cheeses have been excluded from the diet, although some types of mature hard cheese are likely to be low in lactose and galactose. The present study aimed to determine the lactose and galactose content of mature cheeses.Methods: Over 6 years, the UK Galactosaemia Support Group commissioned the analysis of 109 samples (by two laboratories) of 12 cheese types, in eight batches throughout the year. Cheeses, obtained from retail outlets, were homogenised, sugars were extracted using water or 40% alcohol for fatty samples, and sa...

This article systematically reviews the data for dietary-based therapy in the prevention of PC, as well as in the management of patients with PC, aiming to provide clarity surrounding the role of diet in preventing and treating PC. Although conclusive evidence is limited, the current data are indicative that a diet low in fat, high in vegetables and fruits, and avoiding high energy intake, excessive meat, excessive dairy products and calcium intake, is possibly effective in preventing PC. However, caution must be taken to ensure that members of the public do not take excessive amounts of dietary supplements because there m...

The impact of visual media to encourage low protein cooking in inherited metabolic disordersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Although a helpful educational tool, just over one-half of respondents had used the resource. Identifying visual media that, by itself, will motivate most families of children with IMD to prepare low protein recipes may be unrealistic. The combined approach of visual aids and 'hands-on' practical experience, such as low protein cooking workshops and individual counselling, may be more beneficial.

Background Recent evidence from randomized controlled trials of hypocaloric low carbohydrate diets in people without diabetes has shown that they promote significant weight loss over the short term.
