Update on New CNELM Website
Work on the new CNELM website is continuing behind the scenes, and we are currently in the process of transferring content over from the existing website. At the same time content is being updated and new content is being created.
We are also working on Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) features and ensuring we have a robust support system in place before going live. If all goes to plan, by the time the next Nutritional Supplement comes out, we will have a shiny, new and totally revamped CNELM website! Watch this space!

cPNI - Now Starting April 2015
The cPNI course which was due to start this November at CNELM has been postponed to April 2015.
While interest in the course was high, there was an insufficient number of confirmed applications to warrant launching the course this November as planned. We have therefore postponed the start of the course until April 2015, and will continue to promote the course to a much wider audience in the interim in order to generate sufficient numbers.
The revised 2015 dates for cPNI are as follows:
Sun 26th - Tues 28th April Leo Pruimboom
Mon 8th – Wed 10th June Tom Fox
Sat 11th – Tue 14th July Sebastian Schwarz
Mon 7th – Tue 8th Sep Leo Pruimboom
Mon 19th – Wed 21st Oct Daniel de la Serna
Fri 4th –Sun 6th Dec Leo Pruimboom
If you would like to be considered for the April course, please respond to this email to indicate your continued interest. To secure your place for the April course, a deposit of £500 would be required by the end of January 2015. If the course does not run in April, a full refund will be given.
We are very disappointed that cPNI 1 will not be starting in November, however with additional time to promote the course to those in the nutrition profession and also to the wider health and medical community, we are as confident as we can be that we will be in a position to run this course from April 2015.
Please do help us to promote the course by circulating to your friends and colleagues in the health professions and via social media networks.
For details on the course content please visit the Natura website.

£12.5m Investment into Bioscience for Norwich Research Park
The UK government has announced that it will fund 125 PhD students through the Norwich Research Park Doctoral Training Partnership over the next five years, an investment that totals £12.5 million UK pounds.
The Norwich Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership programme is a new PhD programme involving the John Innes Centre, the University of East Anglia, the Institute of Food Research, The Sainsbury Laboratory and The Genome Analysis Centre. An essential component of the programme is the requirement for each student to complete a three month professional internship outside of the lab. This ensures there is a close connection between research and industry, and that PhD skills and training can be applied.
Further details on the announcement can be found here.

Is Reheated Pasta Less Fattening?
Pasta that has been cooked, cooled and re-heated has been shown to produce a much lower glucose / insulin peak than freshly boiled pasta and cold, cooked pasta.
Like potatoes, cooking pasta and then cooling it down changes the structure of the molecules into resistant starch which produces a much lower glucose and resulting insulin spike than when freshly boiled. An experiment conducted by the team at 'Trust Me, I'm a Doctor' found that re-heating the cold pasta created an even greater level of resistant starch and an even lower glucose/insulin spike.
In addition to twice-cooked chips, could we now start seeing twice-cooked pasta on restaurant menus?

Paper Advocates More Nutrition Education for Doctors
A group of leading physicians has published a paper in the American Journal of Medicine concluding that doctors lack sufficient training in nutrition to be able to give adequate patient care. The paper advocates nutrition education at all phases of medical training with a particular focus on food, lifestyle and the links with common diseases. They estimate at least one third of the $315bn spent annually on cardiovascular disease in the US could be cut if modest dietary changes were embraced by patients via their doctors. A full news report can be found at Medical News Today.
