Question by Paranormal Kitty: How come when nutrition people on tv advocate DHA Omega 3 supplements, they always say “fish oil”?
When you can get algal oil that doesn’t come from nasty chopped up dead fish? And I would think algal oil might be even better, because the fish get the DHA from eating that algae, so why not just skip the middle man?
As far as I know, there is no difference in the effects of fish oil and the effects of algal oil.
Learning something new – but the though of fish oil is still disgusting lol.
Fish oil is disgusting because of the fact that it is mushed out of a bunch of dead fish in a big press. I watched them make it on tv and almost lost my lunch.

Abstract: Objective: Nutrition interventions may play an important role in maintaining the health and quality of life in community-dwelling older adults. To the authors’ knowledge, no systematic literature review has been conducted on the effectiveness of nutrition interventions in the community-dwelling older adult population.Design: Systematic literature review followed by descriptive data extraction and critical appraisals for studies meeting inclusion criteria.Setting: Medical Literature and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing nutrition interventions in community-dwelling older adults.Participants: Fifteen RCTs involving nutrition-related outcomes in community-dwelling older adults.Analysis: Descriptive data extraction and critical appraisals using the Jaded scale. Outcome measures included study blinding, allocation concealment, intention-to-treat analysis, and a priori calculations.Results: Ten RCTs involved nutrition counseling, education, or dietary advice, whereas 5 involved nutrition supplements. Jaded scores ranged from 1 (n = 
to 2 (n = 4) to 4 (n = 3). Ten RCTs reported positive results post-intervention.Conclusions and Implications: Nutrition counseling interventions involving active participation and collaboration showed the most promise in affecting positive nutrition-related outcomes in community-dwelling older adults. Future research should determine which nutrition interventions will benefit community-dwelling older adults with less active participation and health perceptions, and lower educational attainment.

Abstract: Objective: To conduct a dietary intervention using the Personal Nutrition Planner (PNP), an on-line nutrition intervention tool.Design: Randomized controlled trial with pretest, posttest, and 2-month follow-up self-report assessments.Setting: Web/on-line.Participants: Female university staff (n = 307; 59.1% Caucasian) recruited via e-mail. Retention rate was 85.0% (118 treatment; 143 comparison).Intervention: PNP on-line produces individualized nutrition feedback based on initial on-line assessment. Intervention lasted 5 weeks and included weekly e-mail reminders.Main Outcome Measures: Dietary intake frequencies, weight loss, opinions regarding intervention.Analysis: Repeated-measures analysis of variance to determine intervention effects on dietary intake and weight loss (P < .05).Results: Relative to the comparison group who received no program, the treatment group increased dairy intake frequency across the 3 assessments (F2,304 = 3.15; P < .05). Among participants who wanted to lose weight, weight loss in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the comparison group from pretest to posttest (F1,92 = 4.50; P < .05). On a scale of 1-5, mean ratings of the PNP program characteristics ranged from 3-4.Conclusions and Implications: PNP produced significant increases in dairy intake and decreases in weight. Further revisions will tailor PNP to better fit individuals’ dietary goals and increase motivation.

As food gatekeepers, parents have the opportunity to establish healthful eating patterns for their children. Nutrition education efforts directed toward parents will therefore have the most impact on family foodways. However, parents often have difficulty attending the traditional mode of education, nutrition classes, because of lack of child care, transportation, time, or motivation. At the University of Connecticut, the authors responded to this problem by creating the Husky Byte program, designed to deliver short, unambiguous nutrition education messages. This innovative program considers time constraints, employs principles of adult learning theory, and is easily accessible to adults in community settings.

Abstract: Objective: To explore children’s motivations for and perceived benefits and barriers to nutrition research participation. To explore children’s perspectives on how to improve the research experience.Design: Seven focus group sessions were conducted during March 2008 with research participants from a trial that examined the effects of pre-exercise snacks on physical activity and exercise stress in children. The Health Belief Model for Behavior Change served as the framework for understanding perceived benefits and barriers to research participation and cues to action to help children’s readiness for future research participation.Setting: Indoor sports center in Acton, Massachusetts.Participants: Thirty-five children, 15 males and 20 females, aged 7–10 years.Phenomenon of Interest: Children’s participation in nutrition research.Analysis: Transcripts were reviewed, coded, and sorted according to recurring trends and patterns using NVIVO software.Results: Participants were overwhelmingly motivated to participate in research because of financial incentives. The biggest barrier to participation was anxiety over finger pricks. Children suggested demonstrating different aspects of data collection during recruitment to reduce trepidation and using distraction techniques to improve the experience during anxiety-provoking data collection.Conclusion and Implications: Themes for benefits and barriers to research participation were identified. Data also provide a guide to promote readiness and to improve the research experience for children in future nutrition trials.

Abstract: Objective: To assess how postsecondary online nutrition education courses (ONEC) are delivered, determine ONEC effectiveness, identify theoretical models used, and identify future research needs.Design: Systematic search of database literature.Setting: Postsecondary education.Participants: Nine research articles evaluating postsecondary ONEC.Main Outcome Measures: Knowledge/performance outcomes and student satisfaction, motivation, or perceptions.Analysis: Systematic search of 922 articles and review of 9 articles meeting search criteria.Results: Little research regarding ONEC marketing/management existed. Studies primarily evaluated introductory courses using email/websites (before 2000), or course management systems (after 2002). None used true experimental designs; just 3 addressed validity or reliability of measures or pilot-tested instruments. Three articles used theoretical models in course design; few used theories to guide evaluations. Four quasi-experimental studies indicated no differences in nutrition knowledge/performance between online and face-to-face learners. Results were inconclusive regarding student satisfaction, motivation, or perceptions.Conclusions and Implications: Students can gain knowledge in online as well as in face-to-face nutrition courses, but satisfaction was mixed. More up-to-date investigations on effective practices are warranted, using theories to identify factors that enhance student outcomes, addressing emerging technologies, and documenting ONEC marketing, management, and delivery. Adequate training/support for faculty is needed to improve student experiences and faculty time management.

Well, not much of a headline grabber as nutrition topics are all over the media, but as I write this we are in the midst of a number of important and historic newsworthy events. First, kicking off the New Year on a positive note, the US Department of Agriculture issued a proposed rule updating the school lunch and breakfast meal patterns. The proposal calls for more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low fat dairy and less sodium and trans fat. Coupled with the increased reimbursement rate that the passage of the Child Nutrition Act provided, these much needed changes will make school meals that much healthier. Another significant event—at least to us nutrition types—was the release of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
