Methods in Nutrition & Gut Microbiome Research: An American Society for Nutrition Satellite Session

The microbial cells in the human gut form an ecosystem that regulates and maintains human health. IAFNS has joined the American Society for Nutrition in an effort to harmonize approaches to studying the gut microbiome to better explore these connections. The scientific session summarized how improving the accuracy, precision and comparability of microbiome research will build understanding of the associations between the microbiome, health and disease prevention.

Perspective: Challenges and Strategies to Reduce the Sodium Content of Foods by the Food Service Industry

This perspective article provides an overview of the challenges and strategies that have been used by the food service industry to reduce sodium in foods away from home, as well as future sodium reduction strategies. Because of the widespread consumption of foods away from home, implementing such future strategies could have a profound impact on the sodium content of the American diet.

A Qualitative Look at Perception and Experience of Sodium Reduction Strategies in the Food Industry through Focus Groups and Individual Interviews

Future efforts to reduce the incidence of sodium overconsumption should be carried out through multiple avenues rather than focusing on the agency of consumers, the food sector, or research alone.

Mapping the Available Evidence on the Impact of Ingested Live Microbes on Health: A Scoping Review Protocol

Some researchers think that the regular consumption of safe, live microbes confers health-promoting attributes, including the prevention of disease. To address this hypothesis, we propose a scoping review to assess the large amount of scientific literature that is now available on this topic.
