A True Comparison of Processed vs ‘Natural’ Sugars

 Authored by Danielle Bellmer*

Health fads come and go, and in the recent past our food enemies have included fat, eggs, and gluten. In today’s health news, sugar has become a very controversial topic. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has become the new enemy. In addition, there seems to be an assumption that ‘real sugar’ or ‘natural sugar’ is somehow healthier. It’s not. It is still sugar.

Factors Associated with the time to Breast Feeding Cessation among children aged one to four Years in a Rural area in Democratic Republic of Congo

 Authored by Olivier Mukuku*

Breastfeeding provides many health benefits by protecting the mother and child. Optimal breastfeeding is one of the most effective preventive health measures against diarrheal diseases and infant mortality. Studies indicate that breast milk protects infants against infectious and chronic diseases [1,2]. Globally, 60% of infant and young child deaths occur as a result of inappropriate infant feeding practices and infectious diseases, two-thirds of which are attributable to poor breastfeeding practices [2]. Infant feeding practices may have a negative effect on children’s growth and development, particularly in developing countries where access to basic health services is not sufficient [3]. In developing countries, feeding practices are very often inadequate and inconsistent with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations and are the main factors affecting the physical growth and mental development of the child [4]. Poor nutritional status in early childhood also affects health in adulthood [5]. Nutritional status is the best indicator of child well-being and, indirectly, the well-being of the community.

State of Food vs Income-Expenditure Gap in Developing World with a Focus on Iran

Authored by Andrew J Rosenthal*

The paper explores how insecurity in food accessibility is largely emerging especially within the younger generations who are unemployed, or underemployed. Their income shortage usually deprive them of the quantity and quality of the food that they need. Such a situation causes increasing vulnerabilities for them. Psychologically speaking, it contributes to overweight and obesity among many. Overeating often happens within the poor-leading to various issues. Because of the aforementioned situation, culture of street food supply has emerged in increasing number of developing countries to respond the demand of the increasing low-income people. Shortage of income not only creates food issues, but delays marriage and formation of family in developing countries. This situation that leads to stigmas and lots of social problems in many developing countries; eventually affect birth rates among younger generations. Jobs and earnings largely affect quality of life including access to healthy food and housing. Unfortunately, food accessibility will be more serious in the decades to come with special reference to the developing world, as among other barometers, more people will be residing in urban areas which are more consuming sectors.

Follow-Up Study of Torabi et al. A Cross-Sectional Survey on the Inclusion of Tobacco Prevention/ Cessation, Nutrition/Diet, and Exercise Physiology/ Fitness Education in Medical School Curricula

Authored by Andrew J Rosenthal*

 

Currently in the United States chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability. Physicians of today possess the greatest opportunity to impact the long-term health of their patients through preventative medicine. Despite the transition from infectious diseases to chronic conditions, many physicians today are inadequately prepared to practice preventative medicine. In addition, medical schools are largely failing to adjust curriculum to best address this disease transition. The purpose of this study is to provide a follow up report of an article published by Mohammad R. Torabi, PhD; Ran Tao, MPH; Stephen J. Jay, MD; and Courtney Olcott, MS, through a literature review of the inclusion of tobacco prevention/ cessation, nutrition/diet, and exercise physiology/fitness education in medical school curricula from 2011 to present day [1]. The previous article found that the areas of tobacco prevention/cessation, nutrition/diet, and exercise physiology/fitness received the least amount of attention in medical school’s curriculum despite many students feeling that these topics hold direct relevance to their learning, and offered recommendations in an attempt to address this gap in education.
