This letter, published in the Journal of Food Science (2009;74:vi–vii), discusses proposed minimum characterization parameters for studies on food and food-related nanomaterials.
La definición de fibra dietética – discusiones sostenidas durante el Noveno Simposio de Fibra Vahouny: Llegando a un acuerdo científico.
Journal Article 2010
La Comisión de Codex Alimentarius, adoptó una definición para la fibra dietética en Junio del 2009, basada en la recomendación del Comité Codex en Nutrición y Alimentos para Regímenes Especiales (CCNFSDU por sus siglas en inglés) para su aprobación en Noviembre del 2008. La definición enumera tres categorías de polímeros de hidratos de carbono que no son hidrolizados por las enzimas endógenas en el intestino delgado de humanos. Sin embargo, la definición dejó la inclusión de hidratos de carbono con grados de polimerización (GP) en el rango de 3 a 9 a discreción de las autoridades nacionales y dejó pendiente por definir los “efectos fisiológicos beneficiosos para la salud”. Los comités de ILSI Europa e ILSI Norte América especializados en hidratos de carbono dietéticos organizaron un foro en el Noveno Simposio Vahouny de Fibra en el 2010 con el fin de discutir la forma en la cual se puedan resolver estos asuntos de instrumentación para llegar a un consenso científico. Los resultados de esta sesión son alentadores e indicaron que la comunidad científica concuerda en mantener un consenso mundial respecto a la inclusión de hidratos de carbono no digeribles con >GP3 como fibra dietética y en una lista central y no exhaustiva, los efectos fisiológicos benéficos que tienen las fibras dietéticas. Estos resultados son congruentes con los acuerdos mundiales previos.
Kinetic and Mechanistic Data for a Human Physiologically Bases Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Model for Acrylamide
Journal Article 2005
Despite gaps and limitations to the database, model parameters have been estimated to provide a relatively consistent description of the kinetics of acrylamide and glycidamide using a single set of values (with minor adjustments in some cases). This review, published in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (2005;561:117–125), discusses the PBPK model for acrylamide.
Issues to Consider When Setting Intervention Targets with Limited Data for Low-Moisture Food Commodities: A Peanut Case Study
Journal Article 2013
This article, published in the Journal of Food Protection, discusses development of a framework for managing risk in low-moisture food commodities where large data sets are unavailable (using peanuts as the example).
Investigating the Associations Between Hydration and Exercise Performance: Methodology and Limitations
Journal Article 2012
This article by Ronald J. Maughan is part of a 2012 supplement published in Nutrition Reviews, which follows up the Second International ILSI North America Conference on Hydration and Health, held November 15–16, 2011. The conference reviewed the available science on hydration and related health issues, while also providing a scientific discussion of the compilation of data on fluid intake as it relates to health, well-being, disease, and human performance.
Introduction to the Workshop
Journal Article 2012
While there is a growing body of research on Low-Calorie Sweeteners the information has not been pulled together cohesively to allow an evaluation of the existing science. This one and a half day workshop aimed to clarify the state of the science around the utility of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) for weight management.

Journal Article 2013
This article, published in the Journal of Food Protection, describes a newly available Cronobacter (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) isolate set.
Integrating the Totality of Food and Nutrition Evidence for Public Health Decision Making and Communication
Journal Article 2010
This article, published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition (2010;50 Suppl 1:1–8), defines three clear strategies for the use of weak associations when making nutritional recommendations.
Intakes of Some Vitamins from Food Sources Are Higher Among U.S. Adults Who Use Dietary Supplements
Journal Article 2012
The purpose of this analysis was to examine vitamin intakes from foods by supplement use and how dietary supplements contribute to meeting or exceeding the Dietary Reference Intakes.
Intake of Added Sugars and Selected Nutrients in the United States, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003—2006
Journal Article 2010
The primary objectives of this study, published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition (2010;50:228–258), were to utilize National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to update the reference table data on intake of added sugars from the Institute of Medicine report and compute food sources of added sugars.
