2010 Dietary Guidelines symposium scheduled

Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy announces the first Friedman School Symposium, to be held September 19-21 in Boston. The symposium will provide an unbiased, neutral forum for presenting current nutrition research and debate that will impact the 2010 Dietary Guidelines.

By engaging leaders in nutrition science and policy along with representatives of the food industry, whose products and advertisements rely on the Dietary Guidelines, the symposium will address topics such as “Problems and Pitfalls In The Dietary Guidelines: The Example of Children” and “Should Supplements and Fortified Foods Have A Place at the 2010 Guidelines Table?”

Speaker biographies and the full two-day program may be found on the conference Web site at http://nutrition.tufts.edu/conferences/symposium/
