Published in the February 2019 issue of JNEB
Public health nutrition is a unique, multifaceted discipline that includes a wide range of experts in the research, policy, and programming sectors. A goal of the SNEB Public Health Nutrition Division is to help translate public health nutrition research into practice and policies. This translation process is essential to ensure practitioners have the tools to implement effective, evidence-based interventions that have demonstrated improvements in nutrition-related behaviors and health outcomes of the target audiences. Furthermore, collaboration between researchers and practitioners is necessary to ensure that researchers are testing interventions that can feasibly be implemented in public health settings.

Hot Topics Call: The Importance of Including Environmental Sustainability in Dietary Guidance
Tuesday, Feb. 19 | 1 - 2 p.m. Eastern | Register
About the Hot Topics Call
Join us for a discussion on the Society's latest position paper, The Importance of Including Environmental Sustainability in Dietary Guidance published in the January 2019 issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior. Co-authors, Dr. Diego Rose from the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Tulane University and Dr. Martin Heller from the Center for Sustainable Systems, School for Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan will discuss the evidence supporting the paper's primary thesis — that environmental sustainability should be a part of dietary guidance. SNEB Present-Elect Jennifer Wilkins, PhD, RD, Syracuse University, will facilitate a discussion of implications for dietary guidance, the role of food and nutrition education professionals, and future opportunities within SNEB related to dietary guidance on environmental sustainability.
This Hot Topics Call is sponsored by the Sustainable Food Systems Division

Dr. Rose holds degrees from the University of California at Berkeley in nutritional sciences (BS), public health nutrition (MPH), and agricultural economics (PhD). Dr. Rose's research at Tulane focuses on the social and economic side of nutrition problems, including disparities in access to food, the links between food access and consumption, domestic and international food security, and the importance of the time dimension for U.S. nutrition policy.
Martin Heller, PhD, University of Michigan
Martin Heller is a senior research specialist with the Center for Sustainable Systems (CSS) at the University of Michigan. His most recent research interests involve evaluating the environmental impact of dietary choices and food waste, and combining nutritional information with environmental assessments of food and diet.

Using Mentored Peer Review of Journal Articles as a Strategy for Graduate Student Development
Thursday, March 7, 2019 | 1 - 2 p.m. Eastern | Register
About the Webinar
Training of graduate students to be future scholars often focuses on research design, data collection and interpretation, but commonly the translation of that knowledge to critical appraisal is less developed. The peer review process has been developed to provide a formal structure to evaluate research before it is widely disseminated. The skills needed to translate research training into meaningful and effective peer reviews need to be fostered during training of graduate students. The presenters will discuss a model of peer review training that guides masters and doctoral students through the critical appraisal process to develop a respectful and thorough review of a manuscript submission. This process includes the ability for students to review the anonymous submission independently. After independent reviews are complete, a meeting is held to discuss the strengths and limitations of the paper, as well as the broader contribution to the science.

Published in the February 2019 issue of JNEB
I realize that all of JNEB's readership knows that February is National Heart Health month. Most of us have taught programs on lower saturated fat, lower sodium, or higher fruit and vegetable eating patterns. In 2015, JNEB published a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effects of the Mediterranean Diet on hypertension, reporting that a positive, significant effect was found between the Mediterranean Diet and blood pressure although the effect was small. At that time only 6 trials were available. Hopefully our next review will include a larger number of trials and the outcomes will be more robust.

The New Food Economy
Employees of the federal government could find themselves without a paycheck and in the food pantry line once again if Congress and the president can't come to an agreement on immigration issues by February 15. While lawmakers on Monday night announced that they'd come to an "agreement in principle" that would avoid that dreaded scenario, the deal still must pass in the House and Senate.

Beef Products Inc. (BPI), the South Dakota-based meat processing company at the center of 2012's "pink slime" controversy, just won a long-sought semantic victory. For years, the company has argued that its signature product is safe, wholesome, and not unlike everyday burger meat. Now, BPI has enlisted a powerful ally in its effort to recoup its image and reclassify its product: the federal government.

Journal of Public Health Policy
Breastfeeding could save the lives of more than 820,000 children and 20,000 women. Worldwide, despite evidence of the importance of both, only 42% women begin breastfeeding within an hour of birth, and 41% practice exclusive breastfeeding. In 2002, to mobilize action and support optimal breastfeeding, the World Health Assembly adopted the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding. The WHO identified the need to assess implementation of policies and programs at the national level and provided an assessment tool. International Baby Food Action Network Asia adapted the tool to launch the World Breastfeeding Trends Initiative (WBTi). The WBTi facilitates measurement of the status of implementation of policy and programs, and stimulates local action towards positive changes. Results of assessments from 84 countries reveal lack of attention to policy in almost all areas. Repeat WBTi assessments allowed us to analyze trends that showed positive changes towards strengthening the policy and programs to support women to be successful in breastfeeding.

ILSI North America previously took on the task of defining a "healthy gut microbiome," and the outcome of this effort was published by Backhed et al. in 2012. Since that time, the body of work on gut microbiome has grown exponentially. Six years later, in 2018, the committee decided to evaluate progress toward this definition. On Dec. 17, 2018, many of the same experts gathered to explore the question: Can a Healthy Gut Microbiome be Defined Through Quantifiable Characteristics?
