SUMMARIES

 

Sep 8, 2005 Glycemic Index - This briefing paper provides an overview of the GI in the first section of “Question and Answers” followed by in-depth look at current research into GI and its impact on weight loss, management of chronic diseases and benefits for long-term health.

Nov 2005 Fresh-cut Produce - Americans often cite convenience as a main barrier to eating fruits and vegetables. Innovations in fresh-cut products help remove this barrier making it easier for people to enjoy the health benefits of diets rich in fruits and vegetables such as: decreased risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and many types of cancer and the maintenance of a healthy weight.

Oct 2003 Low-Carbohydrate Diets - In the constant quest for weight loss, Americans have lately turned more toward low-carbohydrate diets. At present, there is no published scientific evidence that these diets are more effective in producing long-term weight loss than adopting healthy eating habits. There is, however, an overwhelming body of scientific evidence in support of the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and health.
