  | | - Wis. day-care centers put emphasis on good nutrition
Wisconsin day-care centers emphasize healthy snacks and meals, and those participating in the federal Children and Adult Care Food Program get their menus audited. Nutrition specialist Susan Nitzke, co-author of "Rethinking Nutrition: Connecting Science and Practice in Early Childhood Settings," says nutrition is important in day care because schools are at a disadvantage if students come in thinking Pop Tarts are a breakfast food and soda is a good beverage at lunch. The Post-Crescent (Appleton, Wis.) (8/10)       - A carnivore makes the case for Meatless Mondays
Josh Ozersky, founder of the infamous Meatopia event that brings dozens of meat vendors and chefs to New York City each year, is doing something a little surprising: he's advocating Meatless Mondays. According to Ozersky, if Americans demanded a little less "bad meat" -- sourced from stressed animals and pumped with antibiotics -- they would inspire meat producers to work on sustainability issues and offer higher-quality products. Time.com/Ideas blog (8/8) - Added sugar does not affect low-cal diet, study finds
Consuming either table sugar or high-fructose corn syrup did not appear to hinder weight loss in participants who undertook a low-calorie diet, according to a study in Nutrition Journal. The findings demonstrate that reduced-calorie diets cause similar weight loss regardless of the type and amount of sugar consumed, researchers said. Yahoo!/Asian News International (8/10) - Higher saturated-fat intake is seen in adults with children
Data on more than 2,000 young adults show that those who are parents tend to consume more saturated fat than those who do not have children. Researchers said parents of younger children also are more likely to opt for convenience food. The findings appear in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. CNN (8/10) - Food-stamp program doesn't encourage consumption of sugary drinks
Participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program did not significantly change children's intake of soda, milk and fruit juice compared with peers not included in the program, a report showed. The findings, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, suggest that the program doesn't encourage consumption of unhealthy beverages, but the study does not determine whether banning the purchase of sugary drinks under the program would discourage consumption. Reuters (8/10) | | | - Active video games offer exercise, but not enough, study says
An analysis of 41 studies on active video games found that just three effectively increased physical activity levels, while most did not provide the half-hour of moderate-to-vigorous exercise adults should get daily, Michigan State University researchers said. The study on the website of Health Education & Behavior said so-called "exergames" could be helpful for seniors who want light-to-moderate activity, and are most effective when used during a structured program.
