I went to a conference a while ago on dairy foods --and found information on a recent one</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So many people it seems never think of drinking milk --I remember as a teenager if we went for a curry we always had a glass of milk with it --perhaps a good trend to start</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br /><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">
<b>DAIRY: IT’S ABOUT THE WHOLE FOOD<u></u><u></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
<b>London, 28<sup>th</sup> April 2017: A growing body of scientific research shows that the consumption of milk and dairy foods has a neutral or protective association with the risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes.<u></u><u></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
Milk and dairy foods are often misunderstood in regard to heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and are frequently targeted in saturated fat reduction initiatives. However, research has evolved significantly in recent years.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, the role of saturated fat in heart disease has been questioned; secondly, saturated fat is now known to be a ‘family’ of compounds, rather than a single entity, and research suggests some of these may not be detrimental to heart health; thirdly, it is more sensible to look at the effects of consuming a food, rather than the individual nutrients within that food, on disease risk.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
According to The Dairy Council, milk and dairy should not be targeted by public health recommendations to reduce the risk of heart disease or type 2 diabetes. By simply looking at saturated fat, and disregarding the complex interplay of nutrients and the variety of saturated fatty acids found in the dairy matrix, consumers are sent the wrong message about milk and dairy foods.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
Dr Anne Mullen, director of nutrition at The Dairy Council, said: “There’s been a shift in the evidence base on milk, dairy and cardiometabolic health, and now there needs to be a shift in how health professionals speak to consumers about nutrition and disease risk.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
“Recent debates on saturated fat do a disservice to the nutritional quality of foods such as milk and dairy. By looking at the single nutrients in foods, we completely miss out the fact that all of the nutrients in milk and dairy, including the different saturated fatty acids, interact with each other and the effect of consuming a food is different to the effect of consuming single nutrients. As the saying goes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
“Consumers have become more concerned about saturated fat and as it is found in milk and dairy foods, it is often assumed dairy plays a role in the possibility of developing heart disease or type 2 diabetes. However, when we look at the science, these claims are not supported. There have been a number of large studies in recent years that have shown that the consumption of milk and dairy over many years has either no effect or a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health and type 2 diabetes risk.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
“Dairy is more complex than just saturated fat, and this is an important lesson. If we simply looked at single nutrients we would blacklist foods unfairly, which does not translate easily for consumers. Instead, we need to take a step back and look at all of the nutrients as a whole, as well as how they interact, to appreciate the impact milk and dairy has on our health.”<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
More information on saturated fat and dairy can be found in The Dairy Council’s recently published<i>‘Saturated Fat, Dairy and Your Health’</i> which can be accessed <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.milk.co.uk/hcp/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/woocommerce_uploads/2017/04/Consumer-sat-fat-booklet.pdf&source=gmail&ust=1493496472582000&usg=AFQjCNFhtZoXrBaDQYoRmmyHOs5F1rnrgA" href="https://www.milk.co.uk/hcp/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/woocommerce_uploads/2017/04/Consumer-sat-fat-booklet.pdf" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

I AM OFTEN ASKED ABOUT SUGAR AND LOW CALORIE SWEETENERS - so wanted to say that the ISA have really good and well researched advice on the topic<br />
<br />
There are a range of low calorie sweeteners some in tablet form some in sachets and others in granular form<br />
<br />
Some low calorie sweeteners can be used in cooking while others taste bitter due to the heat of cooking<br />
<br />
There is a trend now for the natural sweetener derived from the Stevia plant and it is found in all sorts of foods and also beverages<br />
<br />
I have a a Stevia plant in my kitchen and it is lovely to use in soft drinks or just nibble as it gives an intense sweet taste<br />
<br />
It was from the local gardening centre and only £3.99<br />
<br />
They make good presents for people with a sweet tooth!<br />

<br />
I was quite impressed to be told by a young builder who had a young baby how he had encouraged his wife to breastfeed and listening to him telling another builder about how important this was and ending with it is also a lot cheaper!<br />

Nearly 50% of <a href="http://www.independentnurse.co.uk/news/mothers-uncomfortable-with-breastfeeding-in-public/109077/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0074b3; outline: 0px !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">breastfeeding</a> mothers stop after two months, according to new data from Public Health England (PHE) and NHS England.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In a survey of 500 mothers published on 23 March, 73% said they breastfed their newborn child, but this figure drops to 44% by six to eight weeks. PHE recommends <a href="http://www.independentnurse.co.uk/news/more-midwives-needed-to-improve-breast-feeding/87348/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0074b3; outline: 0px !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">breastfeeding</a> for the first six months after birth, saying evidence shows the right support helps mothers breastfeed longer.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin-bottom: 10px;">
PHE chief nurse Viv Bennett said: ‘<a href="http://www.independentnurse.co.uk/news/cuts-to-breastfeeding-services-impacts-rates/115156/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0074b3; outline: 0px !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Breastfeeding</a>, while natural, is something all mums and their babies learn by doing. Mums tell us, after the first few weeks, breast feeding becomes easier, so proper support is crucial at this time which is where our bot is designed to help.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin-bottom: 10px;">
More than half of mothers surveyed were concerned breastfeeding meant they would not be able to tell if their baby was getting too much or not enough milk. Many felt people might assume they need a special diet to breastfeed. Nearly three in ten worried breastfeeding could mean their baby might not be getting the right nutrients, indicating why mothers may stop breastfeeding at this early point.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Breastfeeding boosts a baby’s ability to fight illness and infection. Babies who are not breastfed are more likely to get diarrhoea and respiratory infections. It also lowers a mother’s risk of ovarian and breast cancer and burns around 500 calories a day.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin-bottom: 10px;">
More than half (63%) of mothers polled said they would feel embarrassed breastfeeding in the presence of people they don’t know, 59% felt the same about their partner’s family and 49% felt it about siblings and wider family members.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin-bottom: 10px;">
‘We can all help women feel comfortable breastfeeding their baby wherever they are,' added Ms Bennett. 'Creating a wider culture of encouragement and support will help make a mother’s experience all the more positive.’</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; margin-bottom: 10px;">
PHE is now launching the Start4Life marketing programme to help parents and expecting parents to adopt ‘healthy behaviours’ at an early stage. They have unveiled a ‘chat bot’ on Facebook called Breastfeeding Friend which can provide advice immediately over the online messaging service.</div>

<img alt="pour the milk picture" src="http://images.all-free-download.com/images/graphicthumb/pour_the_milk_picture_167091.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I was invited to a really good meeting last night on Saturated Fat -Dairy and Cardiometabolic Health which allayed fears anyone may have about milk and CHD<br />
<br />
I always feel that while some people may not be able to tolerate milk for most it is a really useful component of the diet<br />
<br />
There are lots of useful fact sheets full of of information on milk, cheese and yogurt on the website plus also a spectrum of all sorts of recipes.<br />

<br />
It is a really useful and comprehensive book which works well for anyone wanting an overview of nutrition.<br />
<br />
The book is perfect to accompany basic courses in nutrition.<br />
<br />
It is quite easy to read but covers lots of information. Nutrition is very fast moving as regards research and up dates so there are lots of new items.<br />

<br />
I am a Public Governor for Kettering General Hospital NHS Trust and the accident an emergency department is often full of people with more minor ailments which could be resolved by the pharmacist.<br />
<br />
<span style="background: white; color: #464745; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Basically if you don't pay for prescriptions
(Under 16's do not) then you can request a 'PHARMACY FIRST CARD' from your GP
receptionist.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #464745; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; outline: 0px;" />

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">This card
entitles you to many free medicines without having to visit your doctor and
obtain a prescription including; Liquid Paracetamol (calpol) and Sudocrem. Just
take your card along to the pharmacy, explain the symptoms and the pharmacist
will give you something to suit e.g. nappy rash, teething etc. There is no
charge for this!</span></span><br />

<br />
I used to make pastry quite often but seldom make it these days. Lovely pies can be made and made "healthier" with lattice type tops, only using a top rather than a top and bottom to the apple or meat pie, using lots of fruit in the filling as well as keeping as a treat rather than every day.<br />
<br />
You can also use some wholemeal flour in making the pastry to boost the fibre content.<br />
<br />
Pie toppings can also be made with vegetables like mashed or sliced potatoes, mashed up vegetables like swede or carrots or even cauliflower<br />
<br />
Here are some ideas for pies<br />

<strong>Happy New Year to you all.</strong></div>

Your support of the week and all the great activities you deliver during the week is making people notice. Here is an email we received from Hong Kong.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #007fff; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
“Knowing the previous Nutrition and Hydration Week was successfully held in different organizations to promote the importance of nutrition and hydration. On behalf of Nutrition care working group, Pok Oi Hospital, Hong Kong, we hope to participate in the coming Nutrition and Hydration Week 2017. We plan for training workshop, tea party, patients’ meal satisfaction survey and staff canteen booth during the week.”</div>

Thank you to Joanne a dietician at the hospital for sharing her plans and support of the week with us.</div>

A new area the week is expanding into is Workplace Well Being. Building on numerous enquiries last year from businesses and organisations seeking further information from us in the week to increase employee awareness, particularly fluid intake, the organisers of the week we have added a further aim of the week.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #007fff; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">

The benefits to the employer are huge with healthier and more alert staff, and research has associated better hydrated staff with increase productivity and less work-related accidents. The benefit of enabling the week to reach a wider audience is the prevention of avoidable hospital contact and admissions through poor hydration in the community.</div>

<br />
New year is always a time when people resolve to look at the diet so thought this may be of interest<br />
<br />

Routinely used in smoking cessation, this study provides the evidence base
to encourage use of very brief advice in weight management.<br />
<br />
Although many health professionals are nervous about raising weight with
patients, this study, led by University of Oxford (UK) and published this week

<br />
While the study focussed on advice and referral by GPs, the principles of VBA
can be applied by all primary care health professionals, with great potential impact. </span></span></b><br />

I devised this a while ago but am often asked for it so here it is again--enjoy<br />
<br />
<br />
Christmas pudding --lower fat and lower calorie I developed this recipe a while ago and it is very popular. It can be made at the last minute or rather the day before Christmas and is both easy and economical not to mention tasty.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.286px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Having looked at most luxury style Christmas puddings as well as recipes for homemade ones using traditional ingredients like suet in them I found that most provided around 600 kcals and 80g carbohydrate per portion. So I was given the challenge of developing a lower calorie and carbohydrate pudding. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.286px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.286px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This is what I made and it makes 8 small portions and each portion provides 204kcal 43g carbohydrate, 1.4 g fat, 0.3g saturated fat and 0.3g salt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.286px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.286px;">It was quick to make and also cheap. It will not keep so make it only the day before or freeze.</span></span><br />

from other caterers on the evening, the challenge is being investigated
further. The social media tweets also drew a call from the other side of

Burgers aren’t like steaks</h2>

Unlike steaks, rare burgers prepared at home can cause serious food poisoning. Steaks can be served pink as they’re only ever contaminated by bacteria on the outside. In burgers bacteria from the outside of the raw meat are spread all the way through when it’s minced and are not killed if burgers are not cooked all the way through.<br /><br />So cook your burgers thoroughly this BBQ weekend and help us spread the word to keep your loved ones safe.</div>

An expert group, set up by the Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food (ACMSF), to look at egg safety, found there has been a reduction in the risk from salmonella in UK shell eggs since its last report on this issue 15 years ago.</div>

The Group concluded that the risk level for UK hen shell eggs produced under the Lion code, or produced under demonstrably-equivalent comprehensive schemes, should be considered as very low, whilst for other hen shell eggs, including non-UK eggs consumed in the UK, the risk level should be considered low. The report recommends that Lion code eggs (or eggs produced under equivalent schemes) can be served raw or lightly cooked to those in vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, the young and the elderly (but is not intended to include severely immunocompromised individuals).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Following finalisation of the ACMSF report in June 2016, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) have reviewed their consumer advice taking into account the independent committee's conclusions and recommendations. It is proposed that the FSA and FSS will continue to advise that all raw, soft-boiled hen eggs or foods containing lightly cooked hen eggs are unlikely to lead to illness in people who are in good health (who are not in a vulnerable group). </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
In addition, we will no longer advise against the consumption of raw and lightly cooked eggs by vulnerable groups provided that they are produced under the Lion code quality assurance scheme. This advice does not include severely immunocompromised individuals.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
The existing advice on non-hen shell eggs (e.g. duck and quail eggs), which should not be consumed raw or lightly cooked, will not change. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
The <a href="http://www.food.gov.uk/sites/default/files/acmsf-egg-reportv1.pdf" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006f51;" target="_blank">ACMSF report</a> also considered it necessary to highlight more clearly potential concerns relating to the non-domestic environment. To this end, the FSA and FSS will soon issue advice for catering establishments on egg handling and hygiene practices.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
The <a href="http://www.food.gov.uk/sites/default/files/acmsf-egg-reportv1.pdf" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #006f51;" target="_blank">ACMSF report</a> provides the expert scientific opinion which has informed the proposed changes to our consumer advice.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
We would be grateful for your views on the proposal for our revised consumer advice.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
In parallel with this consultation, the FSA and FSS are considering the mechanism for UK egg producers which are not currently part of the Lion code Scheme to demonstrate an equivalent level of food safety control. We are therefore also seeking views on this matter from egg producers and assurance bodies as part of this consultation.</div>
