Challenges of Linking Chronic Dehydration and Fluid Consumption to Health Outcomes

This article by Lawrence E. Armstrong is part of a 2012 supplement published in Nutrition Reviews, which follows up the Second International IAFNS Conference on Hydration and Health, held November 15–16, 2011. The conference reviewed the available science on hydration and related health issues, while also providing a scientific discussion of the compilation of data on fluid intake as it relates to health, well-being, disease, and human performance.

Chemicals in Food Packaging: A Review of Phthalates and Bisphenols

Phthalates and bisphenol chemicals have been widely used globally in packaging materials and consumer products for several decades. These highly functional chemicals have become a concern due to their toxicity (i.e., endocrine modulators) and ability to migrate from food contact materials into food matrices and the environment resulting in human and environmental health risks.

Commercial Devices Provide Estimates of Energy Balance with Varying Degrees of Validity in Free-Living Adults

Interest in improving accuracy, and replacing self-reports with passive tools when estimating energy balance (EB) using intake (EI), storage (ES) and expenditure (EE)) has led to wide use of commercial devices e.g. Fitbits. A study with free-living adults looked at repeatability, and measurement error of these devices and showed varying degrees of validity when used to estimate EB compared to gold-standard techniques, with EE measures being the most robust and ES the poorest.
