Are your drinking habits healthy?

Posted in Nutrition Advice by markzrkzma 18 days ago (http://feedproxy.google.com)

These days, it may not seem like a big deal to have a drink before dinner and a couple of glasses of wine with dinner. Yet, according to the National Institutes of Health, consuming that amount of alcohol puts you in a high risk category.Rethinking Drinking, a website run by the NIH, can help you assess the risks and/or benefits of your drinking habits.You might be surprised to see how just low the thresholdfor "low-risk" drinking is, especially when you consider the size of a"standard" drink is just 1.5 ounces of hard liquor. The newly (or onceagain) popular martini drinks usually contain the equivalent of 2 to 4servings of alcohol.What do you think? Is this too heavy-handed an approach? Are weAmerican's showing our latent puritanism here? Are the risks ofmoderate drinking being overstated?

Validity of claims made in weight management research: a narrative review of dietetic articles

Posted in Nutrition Advice by Knipienue 18 days ago (http://www.nutritionj.com)

Background:The best available evidence demonstrates that conventional weight management has a high long-term failure rate. The ethical implications of continued reliance on an energy deficit approach to weight management are under-explored.Methods:A narrative literature review of journal articles in The Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics from 2004 to 2008.Results:Although the energy deficit approach to weight management has a high long-term failure rate it continues to dominate research in the field. In the current research agenda, controversies and complexities in the evidence base are inadequately discussed, and claims about the likely success of weight management misrepresent available evidence.Conclusions:Dietetic literature on weight management fails to meet the standards of evidence based medicine. Research in the field is characterised by speculative claims that fail to accurately represent the available data. There is a corresponding lack of debate on the ethical implications of continuing to promote ineffective treatment regimes and little research into alternative non-weight centred approaches. An alternative health at every size approach is recommended.
