Nutrition Round-Up

1) Updated Position Paper On Nutrient Supplementation Released By ADA (source: Medical News Today)

While supplements can help some people meet their nutrition needs, eating a wide variety of nutrient-rich foods is the best way for most people to obtain the nutrients they need to be healthy and reduce their risk of chronic disease, according to a newly updated position paper titled “Nutrient Supplementation” from the American Dietetic Association. This paper is an update of ADA’s “Fortification and Nutritional Supplements” position paper, published in 2005.

2) A question from the Nutrition Data Blog – In search of gluten-free breakfast

Q. My daughter can’t eat foods that contain gluten. Dairy products also don’t seem to agree with her but soy milk is OK. Our problem is what to give her for breakfast ? Can you suggest any cereals (preferably low GI) that are gluten free that are good for breakfast?
