Leaders focus on child nutrition, physical activity

We know better nutrition leads to better performance in schools. About 860,000 people in Cook County every day wake up uncertain where and how they will get the food they need to eat, reported Kate Maehr, executive director and CEO of the Greater Chicago Food Depository. In the Chicago Public Schools, 80 percent of the children qualify for free and reduced price lunch, which means they are from families that dont have enough income to always provide healthy food that children need to be able to grow up to reach their full potential, she said. This is why it is critical that investments are made in programs and opportunities that connect children to healthy food, Maehr stressed. Theres really clear data that children who do not have access to healthy, nutritious food will not do as well in school and they will not realize their full potential, she reported. And the implications are far greater than our school system, the implications are community wide. Anthony Morgan, former wide receiver for the Chicago Bears, has served as a spokesman for the Fuel Up to Play 60 program for the past three years. We need to empower the next generation to believe in themselves that they can be healthy and active, he said.

Vitamins: Too much of a not-so-good thing?

Free radicals damage cell membranes and DNA. Doctors recommend a healthy intake of fruits and vegetables containing antioxidants to prevent this from happening and apparently decreasing the risk of conditions such as cancer and heart disease. However, oxidation is necessary for life, and preventing too much of this process can be a bad thing because cells that need to be destroyed, such as cancer cells, won’t be. There have been several important studies showing the harmful effects of vitamins.

Problems persist in supplement industry

Steve Mister, chief executive of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, the leading supplement-industry trade organization, calls companies that adulterate products “outliers.” He said they don’t represent the bulk of vitamin and supplement makers in the United States, which adhere to regulatory guidelines and good manufacturing practices. In a recent speech, Mister suggested that his industry consider wider use of third-party certification organizations, such as those offering seals of approval. “If we can’t eliminate the tainted products and the shoddy manufacturers, we can at least make it easier to tell who they are,” he said. Stronger rules pitched The 1994 act restricts the FDA from exerting authority over supplements as long as manufacturers make no claims about preventing or treating disease.
