Nutrition Security for Planetary Health
by Irana HawkinsUsing the lens of nutrition security and equity for the living beings and living systems of the planet, Nutrition Security for Planetary Health takes an integrated, systems approach that not only delineates the antecedents of the multifaceted environmental crises—but offers solutions including the extensive co-benefits of whole plant foods nutrition as the foundational dietary pattern for improving planetary health. Overlooked yet inseparable problems that connect food systems to the transgression of our planetary boundaries, chronic disease, and zoonotic disease are discerned. Bolstering nature and biodiversity is emphasized throughout including regenerative agroecology, native plant foods and ecosystems, utilizing traditional and Indigenous wisdom, rewilding, and community science. Lastly, inspiring vignettes demonstrate the power of individual and collective actions that advance planetary health.
Nutrition Standards and Meal Requirements for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs: Phase I. Proposed Approach for Recommending Revisions
by Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesThe National School Breakfast Program feeds 10 million children each day, and the National School Lunch Program feeds more than 30 million students. Yet the national nutrition standards and meal requirements for these meals were created more than a decade ago, making them out of step with recent guidance about children's diets. With so many children receiving as much as 50 percent of their daily caloric intake from school meals, it is vital for schools to provide nutritious food alongside the best possible education for the success of their students. At the request of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Institute of Medicine assembled a committee to recommend updates and revisions to the school lunch and breakfast programs. The first part of the committee's work is reflected in the December 2008 IOM report Nutrition Standards and Meal Requirements for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs: Phase I. Proposed Approach for Recommending Revisions. Phase II of the report is expected in Fall 2009. This first report provides information about the committee's approach as it reviews the school lunch and breakfast programs. In the report's second part, the committee will share its findings and recommendations to bring these meals more in line with today's dietary guidelines. The committee welcomes public comments about its intended approach. An open forum will be held January 28, 2009 in Washington, DC to receive input from the public. Please go to http://www.iom.edu/fnb/schoolmeals for details or email FNBSchoolMeals@nas.edu with any input.

Nutrition and Behavior
by John Worobey Beverly Tepper Robin KanarekDespite their widespread coverage in the media, there is little emphasis on nutrition in books in psychology, and most textbooks in nutrition barely acknowledge the behavioral correlates of nutrient status. This book will provide interested readers in the fields of nutrition and psychology with information on how these two areas of current research interface. Traditional topics (e.g., micronutrients, sugar, eating disorders) are addressed, as well as the newest topics (e.g., herbs, PUFAs, obesity). Critically reviewed are research methods and results that demonstrate the utility of considering both perspectives when designing studies to explore human behavior.
Nutrition and Behavior: A Multidisciplinary Approach
by John Worobey Beverly Tepper Robin B KanarekThe relationship between nutrition and behaviour is bi-directional in nature, with nutritional factors able to affect activity and disposition, and behavior impacting diet and food intake. This book reviews these links, starting with their complex neurobiological basis, such as in the case of folate deficiency and cognitive decline. It also illustrates how behaviour may determine nutritional choices or status through peer modelling and poor dietary habits. Micronutrients and eating disorders are then critically addressed, with a review of current research methods and results, before extra-nutritional influencers on behaviour such as caffeine, herbal supplements and alcohol are discussed in the final section.

Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health
by George A. Bray Nathalie Bergeron Patty W. Siri-Tarino Ronald M. KraussNutrition plays a key role in prevention of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Diet influences a broad spectrum of cardiometabolic risk factors, notably a cluster including excess adiposity, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose metabolism and high blood pressure.
