  • Dietitians can help older adults prevent muscle loss
    Early screening to identify older adults at risk for unintended weight loss and undernutrition or malnutrition is important for preventing and managing sarcopenia, or progressive muscle loss.

Dietary Health 
 
  • Not all sources of gluten are obvious, dietitian says
    Following a gluten-free diet includes watching out for hidden sources of gluten, which can be in condiments such as soy or bean sauce common in Chinese recipes, or in the coatings and fillers in vitamins and medications, registered dietitian Tamara Duker Freuman writes. Crumbs inside a toaster or peanut butter and spreads used by others in a household can contain transferred gluten from other products.
