Using Skin Carotenoid Status Technology to Evaluate Community Nutrition Interventions
Friday, October 11 | 12 - 1 p.m. ET | Register
About the Webinar
First, we will give an overview of reflectance spectroscopy technology. Then we will provide evidence of its validity as a proxy for fruit and vegetable consumption in diverse populations. Finally, we will provide several examples of the use of skin carotenoid status as measured by reflection spectroscopy to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in corner stores, supermarkets, and schools/afterschool and childcare programs. This will include both logistical and practical issues related to use of the reflection spectroscopy to assess skin carotenoid status as a measure of change in vegetable and fruit intake in the field.

I was recently in the chip aisle and was overwhelmed by the many veggie chip choices. (Cauliflower pretzels? Really? Personally, I'd rather roast some cauliflower and add my own spices.) My concerns about veggie chips are that many are high in sodium and pricey. OK, to be honest, the few that I've tried aren't very tasty. Here are some resources to help you assess the options out there ...

A new study finds that when children are told food benefits they can relate to — for instance, "eat your lentils if you want to grow bigger and run faster," and "tomatoes will keep you from getting sick" — they eat twice as healthy and are more likely to try new foods, as opposed to when they are given food with no contextual information.

Between conversations about whether to choose chicken or a burger and conversations about what to play at recess, the large room can get quite noisy. A new study in Appetite from Program in Nutrition alum Matthew Graziose explores whether cafeteria noise, among other environmental factors such as recess timing, plays a role in students' eating behaviors at lunch.
