Organoleptic Effects of Salt Fortification with Iron and Iodine: A Review
ABSTRACTThis paper reviews the factors governing the addition of iron along with iodine in salt, and the conditions under which the micronutrients remain stable and efficacious with storage and use of salt during cooking. The criteria for assessment include organoleptic changes, iodine and iron stability, and consumer acceptability based on changes to color/taste of food that is prepared with the fortified salt. Double-fortifed salt (DFS) has been provided to some 100 million people, and it has become critical to establish the barriers to full acceptability of this technology. The paper identifies 4 key factors that have a...

Body Composition Changes in Children during Treatment for Moderate Acute Malnutrition: Findings from a 4-Arm Cluster-Randomized Trial in Sierra Leone
ConclusionsFour SNFs had similar effects on body composition in children after 4 wk of treatment for MAM, showing a healthy pattern of weight gain, the majority being FFM. Differential responses to treatment underscore a need for further research to provide targets for healthy, sustainable recovery. This trial was registered atclinicaltrials.gov as NCT03146897.

A Randomized Multiple Micronutrient Powder Point-of-Use Fortification Trial Implemented in Indian Preschools Increases Expressive Language and Reduces Anemia and Iron Deficiency
ConclusionsProviding multiple micronutrient-fortified meals in government-sponsored preschools is feasible; reduced anemia and iron deficiency; and, in low-quality preschools, increased preschoolers ’ expressive language and inhibitory control and reduced developmental disparities. Improving overall preschool quality by incorporating multiple components of nurturing care (responsive care, learning, and nutrition) may be necessary to enhance preschoolers’ development. This trial was register ed atclinicaltrials.gov as NCT01660958. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Fatty Acids from Different Fat Sources and Dietary Calcium Concentration Differentially Affect Fecal Soap Formation in Growing Pigs
ConclusionsCa-fatty acid soap formation led to decreased fat absorption in the GIT of growing pigs, which supports the hypothesis that higher dietary Ca concentrations reduce fat absorption. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Diets Varying in Carbohydrate Content Differentially Alter Brain Activity in Homeostatic and Reward Regions in Adults
ConclusionsWe report significant differences in rCBF in adults assigned to diets varying in carbohydrate content for several months, which appear to be partially associated with insulin secretion. These findings suggest that chronic intake of a high-carbohydrate diet may affect brain reward and homeostatic activity in ways that could impede weight-loss maintenance. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02300857. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Maternal Cod Intake during Pregnancy and Infant Development in the First Year of Life: Secondary Analyses from a Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionsOur results provide no evidence for an effect of increased cod intake during pregnancy on general child development in the first year of life, but there was a positive effect on socio-emotional problems. More studies are needed to define the role of fish consumption during pregnancy and the effects on child neurodevelopment.This trial was registered atclinicaltrials.gov as NCT02610959.

Diet Modulates the Effects of Genetic Variants on the Vitamin D Metabolic Pathway and Bone Mineral Density in Mexican Postmenopausal Women
ConclusionsOur data support associations of vitamin D, Ca, protein, phosphorous, and magnesium consumption with BMD in Mexican postmenopausal women and suggest possible gene-diet interactions. These results could facilitate future personalized nutrition recommendations to help prevent low BMD. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)
