IN THE NEWS: APRIL 2006

Two big nutrition trends are set to hit the mainstream in a big way. The first is the consumer acceptance of the fact that antioxidants are important- they’re potent protectors of health. You can read the full story of antioxidants along with the latest findings by the Nielsen group here.

The second is that consumers are becoming much more aware of the importance of reducing sugar in their diet. Hardly a day goes by without a new study signaling the connection between high sugar diets and a host of degenerative diseases. According to Nielsen, low sugar products- such as the entire line of Atkins Nutritionals foods, bars and shakes- have all the potential to become a “blockbuster trend”. Read the full story here.

More benefits of omega-3 fats!

The Sunday Times magazine section (April 15, 2006) featured a full-length story on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on behavior. The thought provoking article discussed research from the National Institutes of Health showing that a diet higher in omega-3s was linked to a lower rate of violence. According to the research, omega-3’s foster the growth of neurons in the brain’s frontal cortex, the bit of gray matter that controls impulsive behavior. Other research has demonstrated that when omega-3’s were given to people with a history of substance abuse, symptoms of anger fell by an astonishing 50 percent!

As Dr. Bernard Gesch, one of the researchers looking into the connection between omega-3’s and behavior said, “The brain needs to be nourished”. And what better way than with a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids.
