Micronutrients and Health
|
|
|
Sian Jeffery, BSc Programme Leader:
A new All Parties Parliamentary Group (APPG) ‘Micronutrients and Health’ was established to promote awareness and understanding, and to help form strategies in Parliament, of the vital role of micronutrients – vitamins and minerals – in helping people to be healthier.
The group has had 5 meetings to date. Within this, the group discusses the importance of nutritional food supplements, which are now taken by over 25m consumers every week (60% of them on a daily basis), an average of nearly 40,000 people in every UK Parliamentary constituency.
Following the 4th Meeting, this paper was released, suggesting the potential role of B vitamins in slowing the onset of dementia in the elderly, prepared by Professor Louise Dye (Professor of Nutrition and Behaviour, Human Appetite Research Unit, School of Psychology, University of Leeds), and Professor Helene McNulty (Professor of Human Nutrition & Dietetics and Director of Nutrition research at Ulster University).
The paper was sent to the Public Health Minister, Steve Brine MP.
HFMA received a response from Steve Brine and are considering how to respond.
I think this demonstrates the importance of understanding stakeholder priorities and being able to link this to requests for action.

Coriander Stone, Editor Nutritional Supplement, Student Support Manager:
Diet, Nutrition and the Changing Face of Cancer Survivorship Conference:
On the 5th and 6th December, I attended the RSM’s 2 day conference entitled Diet, Nutrition and the Changing Face of Cancer Survivorship. I attended this with Satu Jackson (Module Leader for Nutrition Enterprise) and were both enthusiastic about the debates surrounding diet and cancer outcomes.
There were some interesting statistics given by various speakers, which included mainly researchers but also some healthcare workers and cancer survivors (such as ½ of cancer patients receive no dietary advice whatsoever). It was nice to have the research summarised and presented in one place and all references were given too.
As the majority of speakers were from research backgrounds, the overall focus was on statistics and the results of in vitro research. It would have been interesting to have some more discussion around epigenetics and how lifestyle factors in a true-life setting might also impact RCT results, which I think this could have made the conference more complex. There was one farmer in the audience who asked the speakers their thoughts on how red meat from quality, well-raised and pasture-fed animals rather than intensively reared ones might change the statistical outcomes on colorectal cancer and this opened up an interesting debate which I would have liked to have seen taken further.
Much of the information was well-known amongst nutrition scientists – such as the strong link between adequate vitamin D levels and reduced incidence of colorectal cancer, and there were also some conversations around the ongoing debate around the impact of dairy for breast cancer patients.
Overall, there were some interesting things to be taken away from the two days, but it would have been nice to see the emphasis on RCT’s combined with some debate around epigenetics. We as nutritional therapists know that RCT’s can be misleading when applied to the population as a whole and that there are a wide range of factors to be taken into consideration with personalised strategies.
If anyone else attended this conference it would be interesting to hear your thoughts, so please email me at coriander@cnelm.co.uk by the 15th February.

Student Support Manager Role
|
|
|
|
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself for those new students who may not be familiar with another of my roles. As Student Support Manager (SSM), I offer both formal and ad hoc session to all students at various points throughout the year.
Formal bi-annual sessions offer students a formal opportunity to provide feedback on your experience of the course, which is then anonymously analysed and reported back to CNELM in order to enhance services to students.
Aspects of your studies covered in formal sessions include:-
- Gauging whether you are on track with your study programme
- If you generally are happy with the level of feedback received for assessments
- If teaching and administrative staff are accessible and supportive
- If the learning resources are accessible and suitable to your needs
The focus of the formal sessions is therefore mainly academic.
Ad hoc sessions run monthly throughout the year and provide confidential pastoral support. They serve to offer students additional pastoral support for those of you experiencing extenuating issues which are impacting on your studies in some way - this might be personal/family reasons, health issues, financial worries or similar concerns.
Both formal and ad hoc sessions also cover guidance for students with known or self-suspected Learning Needs or other diagnosed or suspected disabilities.
A recent survey carried out with the aim to evaluate the student experience in relation to the prior SSM service and the impact using it had on their progression and development. gave overwhelmingly positive results and this is what some of the students had to say:-
"Being a distance student sometimes makes studying hard and lonely."
"I really enjoyed talking to the SSM and she made me realise that I am very normal and put me in touch with the right people and I got to do a coaching session as well."
"The SSM guided me through. I really appreciated this help."
"It was good to have somewhere to feedback that felt 'safe' i.e where you could remain anonymous."
"I was able to talk to the SSM about how I was feeling overwhelmed at the time and also about some of the frustrations that I had with the module I was doing at the time."
Ad hoc sessions will take place on the following dates throughout the year and can be arranged by emailing me directly:-
- 1st Feb
- 1st March
- 17th April
- 8th May
- 5th June
- 11th September
- 9th October
- 13th November
The next formal sessions will run in June and can be accessed via this poll.
If anyone has any further questions regarding the role of these sessions, please do contact me at coriander@cnelm.co.uk.

The RSM food and health forum has some interesting CPD lectures and videos on a wide range of topics relevant to nutritional therapy.
The Linus Pauling Institute's research newsletter has several interesting articles about research programs, their recent Diet and Optimum Health conference, and updates on LPI staff.
Food Matters Live reports on the sale of nitrite-free bacon and ham which have hit supermarket shelves this year. Currently they are on sale at Waitrose, Sainsburys and M&S throughout Britain.
This article talks about how algae and seaweed might be key to improving nourishment and might be useful to be taken into consideration when compiling client food plans!

New research looking at what triggers and shuts down appetite-stimulating neurons found that nutrients and calories switch off the neurons. The researchers hypothesise that eating smaller meals more regularly may regulate appetite in obese people.
Colorectal Cancer, Probiotics and Cruciferous Vegetables
This research suggests that an engineered mix of compounds from cruciferous vegetables and probiotics improves colorectal cancer outcomes.
Effect on MS of micronutrients
A new study looking at the effects of diet on MS symptoms suggests that eating 3-4 servings of fruits, vegetables, and legumes per day makes it 20% less likely to develop severe symptoms of the disease. Those with the healthiest diets were also found to have less incidence of depression and severe fatigue.

Please email me your favourite recipes to coriander@cnelm.co.uk and how you came to find them!
By Katharine Piotrowski:
This recipe is ridiculously delicious and also happens to be vegan and paleo, and low sugar. It's moist, dense, brownie like and super easy.
Ingredients:
3 cups ground almonds
1/2 cup raw cacao (or cocoa powder)
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
2 mashed ripe/overripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Method:
Combine the dry ingredients, then add in the bananas, vanilla essence and coconut oil.
Once all combined add in the apple cider vinegar (this will make it froth a little and help the cake to rise)
Then spoon the mixture into a lined 20cm cake tin and bake at 180C for 30 mins (check at 20mins how it's getting on).
Enjoy!
