PUBLICATIONS

Energy Balance and Its Components: Implications for Body Weight

Journal Article 2012

Creating a unified, successful obesity reduction strategy relies on understanding the underlying causes of obesity. The Committee on Energy Balance and Active Lifestyle organized a consensus-style conference for spring 2011 to assess the state of the science on understanding energy balance and the development of parameters to help individuals understand and achieve energy balance. This publication was a result of this venture between ILSI North America, and the American Society for Nutrition (ASN).

Meta-Analysis of ADHD or ADHD Symptoms, Restriction Diet, and Synthetic Food Color Additives

Journal Article 2012

The ILSI North America Committee on Food and Chemical Safety initiated a collaborative project to examine the relationships between artificial food colors and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The goal was to analyze the scientific literature and evaluate the strength of the evidence between artificial food colors and ADHD by conducting an evidence-based review process.

Dietary Supplement Use Is Associated With Higher Intakes of Minerals From Food Sources

Journal Article 2011

This article, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2011;94:1376–1381), examines dietary nutrient intakes of supplement users versus nonusers, and includes an analysis how supplements contribute to the potential for meeting or exceeding dietary reference intakes.

Early markers of adult obesity: a review

Journal Article 2011

The purpose of this review was to evaluate factors in early childhood (≤5 years of age) that are the most significant predictors of the development of obesity in adulthood. Factors of interest included exposures/insults in the prenatal period, infancy and early childhood, as well as other socio-demographic variables such as socioeconomic status (SES) or birth place that could impact all three time periods. Health promotion programmes/agencies should consider these factors as reasonable targets to reduce the risk of adult obesity.
