    Notes: The health problem commonly associated with consuming a diet rich incholesterol - what is generally termed atherosclerosis - is widespread inthe Western world and the single most prevalent cause of death. Publicawareness about cholesterol is, however, patchy owing to conflicting andconfusing information in the media. Attempts to give an understandingabout chemical composition, the mode of presence, metabolism, and othergeneral current information and practices about cholesterol and how itmay be controlled to maintain safe levels in the body.

    Notes: Calls to adopt a healthier diet are a key part of current healthpolicies. Argues, however, that what people eat is more than a matter ofnutritional value. While economic constraints are vital in determiningfood choice, we need also to take account of the social and culturalmeanings of food and eating. Food is an important marker of identity atmany different levels: national, regional, familial and individual. Forthe individual, gender, class and ethnicity also define the parameterswithin which choices are made. Popular concepts about what is healthy orgood are similarly important. While health policies tell people whatthey should eat, any attempt to change people's diet requires anunderstanding of these complex factors that govern food choice.

    Notes: The knowledge and attitudes of GCSE students towards biotechnology andgenetic engineering were investigated in a survey of 118 14 to16-year-old students. One-third of the sample did not know whatbiotechnology or genetic engineering was, and nearly half the samplecould not give examples of either. Student attitudes werecontext-dependent: there was broad approval of genetic engineeringapplied to microbes and plants but not of its application to animals.There were high levels of uncertainty of opinion where eating theproducts of genetic engineering was concerned. Teaching about thesetopics led to decreased uncertainty and enhanced approval of geneticengineering.

    Notes: Discusses the Eat Well Action Plan, devised by the Nutrition Task Force,which was published in 1994, to help achieve the Health of the Nation'stargets on diet and health. The food industry is encouraged to undertakea "fat audit" of all products to identify the opportunities for fatreductions. In addition increased usage of fruits, vegetables andstarchy staples, a move to full nutrition labelling, and marketingpractices conducive to healthy food choices are also important. Emphasisis placed on a total diet approach to enjoyable eating and drinking,involving balance, taste, variety and moderation within a healthy,active lifestyle.

    Notes: As part of its research into a National Food Guide (NFG) for the UK, theHealth Education Authority reveals an experimental methodology intoconsumers' understanding and recall of food-for-health information whenpresented in different ways, as well as a qualitative approach to assessconsumer preferences for the format and title of the guide. A parallel,smaller study was undertaken involving health educators. Describes thefindings of these studies and finds that the views of consumers andprofessionals are different in a variety of respects. Concludes with thehope that "The National Food Guide - The Balance of Good Health" will bewelcomed by health and nutrition educators and will help reducemisinformation and misunderstanding among consumers.

    Notes: A survey of 259 primary school children in England and Germany ofvarying social background was performed to assess the children'sattitudes to sweet consumption and particularly to their perception (howthey make sense of information they receive) of sweets in their foodculture. There were highly significant differences in the children'sattitudes to sweet consumption between the two cultures with morechildren in Germany saying we should eat more (30 per cent) comparedwith those in England (7 per cent). Children's perceptions of sweetsalso differed significantly between cultures. These differences inattitude and perception of sweets, particularly chocolate, between thetwo cultures imply differences in educational and other influences onthe children in their early (primary) years.

    Notes: Examines the current understanding of the causes of osteoporosis, whichinclude genetic factors, gender, age, inadequate consumption of calcium,inadequate exposure to ultraviolet light coupled with inadequateconsumption of Vitamin D, lack of exercise, hormonal deficiency, smokingand alcohol and caffeine consumption. There is a complexinterrelationship between all these factors which results in a low peakbone mass prior to the onset of the menopause. An accelerated rate ofloss of bone at this stage results in fragile bones in many women whobecome susceptible to fractures of the pelvis, vertebrae and distalforearm. An examination of the diet of the UK population indicates that,although the current consumption of calcium and Vitamin D appears to beadequate to prevent deficiency diseases, there are substantialsubsections of the population whose diet or lifestyle indicate a majorrisk of developing osteoporosis in later life. In view of these factorsit would be prudent to encourage children and young people to developthe habit of taking enjoyable exercise to continue through life, andthat older women might consider a combination of HRT, exercise and adiet higher in calcium and Vitamin D than currently recommended.

    Notes: Discusses changes in mood, food intake and food choice associated withthe menstrual cycle - food intake is generally increased in thepre-menstrual phase but changes in food choice are not quite clear. Theinfluence of the menstrual cycle on women's mood and behaviour is so farpoorly understood but popular beliefs about menstrual-related"disabilities" still prevail. In our society, two important features of anideal woman are: being nice and being slim, restraining temper andappetite. Putting the blame for relaxing this restraint on physiologicalfactors seems easier to handle than questioning the ideal.

    Notes: Addresses the problem of defining the term "constipation". Brieflydiscusses the role of dietary fibre as a cause for concern in theaetiology of the disorder and highlights the importance of "other" factorsthat may influence bowel habits. Makes specific reference to: the amountof food eaten; fluid intake; exercise; delay in responding to the callto stool; establishment of a bowel routine; psychological factor; sexhormones (female); pharmacological preparations and health status.States the prevalence of constipation in the UK and places emphasisthroughout on objective measurements of bowel function, including stoolfrequency, weight and transit time. Emphasizes the fact that fibre isjust one consideration in the constipation scenario. Fibre is not thepanacea for this condition.

    Notes: Compared with the rest of the UK, the Scots have a particularly poorreputation for eating fruit and vegetables. The reasons for this arevaried and thought to relate to climate, availability and poor quality,with the costs of these foods being a major barrier to dietary change.To examine this in further detail, a number of focus group discussionswere carried out and key questions used in the monthly national ScottishOpinion Survey. Discusses the results, which showed that Scots arecomplacent about dietary change and the concept of "dietarymoderation" provides good grounds for inaction. Quantitative guidelinessuch as the WHO (World Health Organization) recommendation to consume400g (about five portions) of fruit and vegetables daily provide clearguidelines for dietary goals and allow diets to be planned on both on anindividual and a catering level.

    Notes: With the knowledge that body mass index (BMI) exceeding 30 is increasingin Britain, explores various good diets, popular throughout the century,e.g. The Hay Diet, Hollywood 18-day Diet, Two-food Diets, etc. andreveals that most are potentially harmful, lacking in essentialnutrients. Points out that it is paradoxical that obesity is on theincrease but as many as one in five women at a given time are on a diet,and supports the view that "it is better to be fat than be dead",suggesting a healthy diet to follow.

    Notes: Briefly outlines the role of new distillation technology in the recoveryand management of natural flavours. Often processing leads to the lossor deterioration in the flavour characteristics of foods and drinks,especially when compared with fresh starting materials. Aims to showthat some of these effects can be mitigated by good process engineering;and uses the role of spinning cone distillation processes, on which theauthor currently is researching, to illustrate the argument. Summarizesthe principal features of spinning cone technology, together with theadvantages of the technology for flavour recovery: these include highselectivity and efficiency, mild operating conditions, low residencetimes and multistage operation, which, inter alia, allow low strippingrates, while producing flavour concentrates. Briefly mentions somecurrent applications including flavour management in the production offruit concentrates, the production of reduced alcohol drinks, and, inthe context of clean technologies, the use of the technology for flavourrecovery and odour removal.

    Notes: Combines a marketing study of the Meals on Wheels (MoW) service inLeicester, with a study of food consumption patterns in 1,500 elderlypersons by the use of a self-completed questionnaire, which aimed toevaluate the consumer characteristics, service provision and degree ofsatisfaction of MoW recipients and identify specific areas ofdissatisfaction. Overall 88 per cent said they were very satisfied orsatisfied with the service. Food consumption patterns showed that themajority of the elderly ate other food besides MoW but 26 per cent ofrecipients provided no information, suggesting that little other foodwas eaten. Further research is required on preference ratings forvarious types of meals and on the attitudes of the elderly to certainfood types, e.g. fruit, vegetables, milk and other dairy products.

    Notes: The Milk Marketing Boards were established in 1933 in order to ensure aregular collection of milk from farmers and a reliable delivery of milkto customers. They perfected a distribution system which proved itsworth in the Second World War by ensuring an essential supply of milkunder difficult circumstances. In 1993, the Government proposed that theEnglish Milk Marketing Board should become a voluntary co-operative withthe title Milk Marque. This would make its own arrangements for thecollection of milk from farmers and would compete with dairy companiessuch as Nestle and Northern Foods as farmers would be able to make theirown arrangements over milk collection and milk products. The new systemwas to be in place by 1 April. Because of objections, any decisionshave been postponed until 1 October or beyond.

    Notes: Fat consumption in the UK has remained stable at 40 per cent of energyintake for the past 25 years, despite widely publicized recommendationsfor reductions. Briefly reviews some of the possible reasons why fatintake is at this high level, and why consumers find it difficult toreduce intakes. First, there may be psychobiological effects of fatswhich serve to maintain liking for fat-associated sensorycharacteristics. Second, consumers often have a poor conception of theirown fat intake and the relative contributions of different food sources.Lastly, there is little known about the factors influencing long-termdietary change. These are issues which research in nutrition and foodscience can and should address.

    Notes: A National Food Guide (NFG) for the UK will enable all nutritioneducators to use the same vehicle for conveying food and healthmessages. The public will, thus, receive a consistent message, visuallyreinforced through a variety of channels. The development of a NFG forthe UK is a priority project for the Government's Nutrition Task Forceand is a tripartite project between the Department of Health (DoH),Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and the HealthEducation Authority (HEA). Discusses the main aim of the HEA fundedresearch project (Stage III): to assess actual consumer understandingand recall of information contained within the guide (as opposed tostated preferences) when the information was presented in differentways. The research experimentally tested the pyramid and plate formatsof a food selection guide with a sample of 2,000 consumers in the UK.Presents the research design and methodology; results will appear in alater issue. It is planned to launch the final NFG in summer 1994.

    Notes: Reports a study in which a structured questionnaire was used to elicitthe attitudes and knowledge of 451 women (18-35 years), 217 dieters and234 non-dieters to nutritional issues. It included questions onfrequency of reading labels, attitudes to and likelihood of buyingproducts labelled with qualitative terms, and understanding ofnutritional terms. Data were analysed to determine differences betweendieters and non-dieters. Dieters were significantly more likely to readlabels, and gave more priority to "low in calories". Both groups mostoften ranked "no additives" as most important. "Calories" and "fat" were mostoften associated with "fattening", but "energy" and "joule" were lesswidely recognized. Dieters recognized more energy-related terms.Significantly, more dieters knew that fat has more calories than sugar,but the majority of both groups thought saturated fatty acids had morecalories than polyunsaturated fatty acids. Results indicate dieters tobe slightly more knowledgeable, but that confusion remained over anumber of issues.

    Notes: Describes an exploratory study among Asian and English teenagersattending a West London comprehensive school, using food diaries, ageneral questionnaire and in-depth interviews to gather information onfactors influencing food choice. The relationship between food habitsand differences in ethnicity and sex were observed, as well as foodchoice made at the individual level. Concludes that, while a "thirdculture" has evolved identifying itself with both British and Asiancustoms, food preparation and consumption are the most stable factortransmitted from first-to second-and third-generation Asians living inthe UK and the most common area of difference between Asians andCaucasians regarding the acceptability of particular foods.
