More Contributing Factors

MORE:

• TV/Computer

• Stress
• Processed Food
• Environmental 
• Contaminants
• Oxidative Stress

LESS:

• Sleep
• Exercise
• Quality Food

Typical American Diet

• Can people get what they need from the US Diet?
• USDA reports that many Americans get less than 70% of the RDA of many essential minerals and antioxidants
• Countless studies link a host of diseases (including atheroslerosis, heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes) to our highly processed diet which is high in saturated fats, caffeine and refined carbohydrates.

We do not eat enough fruits, vegetables and proteins.

Taking a multivitamin is critical.

Declining Health of Our Soils

• A landmark University of Texas study by Donald Davis
• Journal of the American College of Nutrition. 
• They studied U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional data over a 50 year span for 43 different vegetables and fruits
• FINDINGS: “reliable declines” in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half century.”
• Davis study: protein and vitamins median declines in 43 garden crops (nearly all vegetables) amounting to 6% for reduction for vegetable proteins and 15% to 38% for three of the five vitamins studied. Carbohydrate dry weight was statistically significant increase above the median value. Minerals Calcium & Iron depletion greater than one standard

Inadequate Intakes from Food

• Percentage of Americans with Inadequate Intakes from Food Based on 
• Daily Values (RDA or AI) from NHANES 2001-2006

90% of Americans fall short of essential nutrients

• Obesity
• Depression and Anxiety

It’s all Connected

The major, modifiable risk factors for chronic disease are:

• Physical Inactivity
• Poor Dietary Habits
• Poor Micronutrient Status
• Obesity 
• Sleep Concerns

Position of the American Dietetic Assoc:
Nutrient Supplementation
Marra et al, J. of Am. Diet Assoc. (2009) 109:2073-2085

• Highlight the fact the best nutritional strategy is consume a wide variety of nutrient-rich foods
• Acknowledge additional nutrients from supplements can be helpful (science based nutritional standards)
• Consumers may not be well informed about safety and efficacy of supplements (role of dietetics practitioners)
• Aim of publication is to increase awareness re: supplementation issues and to identify available resources for practitioners
• Give specific examples when supplementation should be considered (e.g. Vit D –infants, children, adolescents)

Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, Summit on Integrative Medicine & the Health of the Public

• Lifestyle changes also can be reframed not only as preventing chronic diseases but also as reversing the progression of these illnesses...What we eat, how we respond to stress,... how much exercise we get, and the quality of our relationships... may be as powerful as drugs and surgery in treating (not just preventing) many chronic diseases

Summary –Supplement Recommendations

• The Dietary Guidelines recognize that “dietary supplements/ fortification of certain foods may be advantageous in specific situations to increase the intake of a specific vitamin or mineral.”
• American Heart Association (Folate, Omega-3’s)
