WEBVTT 00:00.733 --> 00:03.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% - What I'd like to do now is 00:03.433 --> 00:07.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% introduce Professor Susan Nitzke, 00:07.233 --> 00:11.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% who is a professor emeritus from UW-Madison. 00:11.700 --> 00:15.366 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% And Susan we thank you for being with us this evening. 00:15.466 --> 00:18.266 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% And we shift gears and talk in more details 00:18.366 --> 00:21.900 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% on a topic related to what Professor Dr. McBride 00:22.000 --> 00:24.633 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% talked about last week. 00:24.733 --> 00:27.966 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% The question that relates to food, nutrition, 00:28.066 --> 00:30.733 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% and related aspects of it. 00:30.833 --> 00:33.366 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% So, Professor Nitzke. 00:33.466 --> 00:34.866 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% - Thank you, Bassam. 00:34.966 --> 00:36.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I'm very pleased to be here. 00:36.666 --> 00:39.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So the points that I'm going to emphasize tonight are that 00:39.733 --> 00:43.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% nutrition issues are really at the crossroads 00:43.266 --> 00:46.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for chemistry and where it meets social issues. 00:46.966 --> 00:50.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% One of the things that affects the advice that we give 00:50.733 --> 00:53.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% about nutrition is the serious public health concern 00:53.833 --> 00:58.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in the United States over the last decade or so. 00:58.233 --> 01:01.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Well, actually, a couple decades, about the expanding 01:02.000 --> 01:05.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% rates of obesity, and how that affects how we see 01:06.066 --> 01:08.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the recommendations for how Americans 01:08.500 --> 01:10.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% should change their diets for better health. 01:10.666 --> 01:13.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I chose the topic of sodium today 01:13.900 --> 01:17.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because sodium chloride is a very simple chemical compound. 01:17.900 --> 01:21.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% There are many compounds that are essential for life 01:21.166 --> 01:22.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and sodium chloride is one of them. 01:23.066 --> 01:25.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You and I would not be alive if we did not 01:25.866 --> 01:28.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% take in some sodium chloride in our diets. 01:28.800 --> 01:32.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But like so many things, too much is harmful, 01:32.733 --> 01:36.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and sodium chloride is a great example of that. 01:36.633 --> 01:38.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I'm going to also mention some other 01:38.433 --> 01:39.866 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% nutrients that are of concern. 01:39.966 --> 01:43.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% In addition to sodium chloride: saturated fat. 01:43.966 --> 01:48.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It is recommend that we reduce our intake of saturated fat 01:48.700 --> 01:51.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for some reasons I'll share with you in a minute. 01:51.266 --> 01:53.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then there are some nutrients 01:53.366 --> 01:54.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that we should seek more of: 01:54.733 --> 01:57.166 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, 01:57.266 --> 01:59.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% vitamin C, folate, 01:59.600 --> 02:02.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% calcium, magnesium, fiber and potassium. 02:02.600 --> 02:05.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Plus, if you're a woman of childbearing age, iron. 02:09.400 --> 02:13.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I call this slide "Says Who?" and, as a scientist, 02:13.633 --> 02:17.133 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% as Bassam and I both try to 02:17.233 --> 02:20.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% present the most reliable information we can find, 02:20.400 --> 02:22.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% we are always concerned about 02:22.166 --> 02:24.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% where do these recommendations come from? 02:24.666 --> 02:26.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Who's saying this, and what do they have to gain 02:26.733 --> 02:30.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% by getting us to believe what they're reporting? 02:31.433 --> 02:33.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I have a link here. 02:33.533 --> 02:37.066 align:left position:10%,start line:77% size:80% I'm using a lot of the information from a report that came 02:37.166 --> 02:38.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% out earlier this year 02:39.033 --> 02:41.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. 02:41.733 --> 02:43.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% By law, every five years, 02:44.000 --> 02:46.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the U.S. Department of Agriculture 02:46.733 --> 02:49.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 02:49.366 --> 02:53.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% get together and review an official document 02:53.366 --> 02:55.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% called the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. 02:55.800 --> 02:59.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then that, that science-based document 02:59.966 --> 03:04.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is used as the basis of a lot of policy decisions. 03:04.233 --> 03:08.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Everything from what's available in the WIC program, 03:08.200 --> 03:09.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% if you know what WIC is. 03:09.900 --> 03:12.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It's a supplemental nutrition program 03:12.433 --> 03:14.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% for women, infants and children. 03:14.666 --> 03:17.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% What's served in the school lunch program, 03:17.366 --> 03:21.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and what kind of public health incentives 03:21.366 --> 03:24.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% there are to, for instance, reduce sodium in the diet. 03:24.866 --> 03:28.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I just wanted to quickly show you that this 03:28.466 --> 03:32.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% scientific report put together by the advisory committee. 03:33.866 --> 03:36.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The advisory committee has nothing, 03:37.066 --> 03:39.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% no close ties to the U.S. government. 03:39.500 --> 03:41.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Congress can't tell them what to say. 03:41.966 --> 03:44.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Food companies can't tell them what to say. 03:44.200 --> 03:46.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They are people like Bassam and myself 03:46.633 --> 03:48.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% who work at universities, mainly. 03:48.933 --> 03:50.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% There are also some physicians 03:50.900 --> 03:52.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and some public health experts. 03:52.900 --> 03:54.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% There are 14 of them. 03:54.433 --> 03:59.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And they have gone through a 2-year process of reviewing 03:59.100 --> 04:02.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the scientific evidence behind the dietary guidelines 04:02.133 --> 04:05.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and writing a report to the secretaries of Agriculture 04:05.766 --> 04:07.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and Health and Human Services. 04:07.900 --> 04:10.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then, as I mentioned, by law every five years, 04:11.000 --> 04:13.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% those two agencies get together 04:13.433 --> 04:17.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and put together their report for Congress, 04:17.366 --> 04:21.133 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% for the public, for everyone, 04:21.233 --> 04:24.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% about how the American diet should change. 04:24.766 --> 04:27.166 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% So there will be some politics 04:27.266 --> 04:31.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that get into the process as 04:31.600 --> 04:34.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's report 04:34.366 --> 04:36.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% goes into the policy documents. 04:36.700 --> 04:40.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But the advisory committee's report was put together 04:40.133 --> 04:43.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% by a panel of scientists who have 04:43.733 --> 04:47.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% almost no political affiliations. 04:49.433 --> 04:52.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I'm also going to share with you information 04:52.933 --> 04:55.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 04:55.666 --> 04:58.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% In fact, I recommended that you read a short report that 04:59.033 --> 05:02.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% they have on Q&A's about salt and sodium, 05:03.066 --> 05:05.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and that comes from the Centers for Disease Control. 05:06.066 --> 05:08.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I have a little bit of information 05:08.833 --> 05:11.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 05:11.266 --> 05:14.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% diet recommendation system called MyPlate. 05:14.800 --> 05:18.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And when it comes to advocating for change 05:18.633 --> 05:20.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and talking about how we can take these issues 05:20.800 --> 05:23.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and talk about social ramifications, 05:23.466 --> 05:27.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I thought Michael Pollan's piece was a good summary. 05:27.600 --> 05:30.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now, normally I don't quote Michael Pollan 05:30.900 --> 05:34.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because he's a journalist, and journalists, 05:34.766 --> 05:38.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% when they write about science, sometimes they get it right, 05:38.533 --> 05:40.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% sometimes they get it a little confused. 05:40.600 --> 05:43.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But Michael Pollan, when he talks about advocating 05:43.366 --> 05:45.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for change, that's his territory, and I thought 05:45.933 --> 05:49.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% he did a very good job on that topic. 05:51.000 --> 05:54.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So I mentioned obesity as an overarching condition 05:54.166 --> 05:56.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that affects our nutrition recommendations. 05:57.033 --> 05:59.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It raises the risk of heart disease and stroke, 05:59.166 --> 06:02.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% also other diseases like diabetes and cancer. 06:02.200 --> 06:05.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% In 2008, $140 billion 06:05.333 --> 06:09.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of medical cost were attributed to obesity. 06:09.200 --> 06:13.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% For an individual who is obese, 06:13.366 --> 06:16.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% on average, that person's medical costs 06:16.266 --> 06:19.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% are $1,400 a year higher. 06:19.366 --> 06:21.833 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% So already you can see some 06:21.933 --> 06:24.333 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% social ramifications to obesity. 06:25.633 --> 06:28.633 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Obesity is more prevalent in some subgroups 06:28.733 --> 06:30.666 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% of our population than others. 06:30.766 --> 06:35.333 align:left position:10%,start line:77% size:80% Non-Hispanic blacks, a designation of African Americans, 06:35.433 --> 06:37.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% have the highest age-adjusted rates 06:37.500 --> 06:39.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of obesity in the country, about half, 06:39.800 --> 06:42.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and as a matter of fact, this was from a JAMA article 06:42.633 --> 06:45.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in 2012, it's now over 50%. 06:45.300 --> 06:48.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Compared with Mexican-Americans who also have a high rate, 06:48.700 --> 06:50.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and Hispanics. 06:51.933 --> 06:56.066 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% This slide does not show the rates for Native Americans, 06:56.166 --> 07:00.433 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% or American Indians, but their rates are the highest of all. 07:00.533 --> 07:04.133 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Now, how do you know if you're obese? 07:04.233 --> 07:07.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The common measurement that's used 07:07.700 --> 07:10.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is a quick calculation that can be done 07:10.133 --> 07:13.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in any clinical setting, any, those of us sitting here, 07:13.666 --> 07:15.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% if we took a few minutes with our smartphones, 07:15.866 --> 07:17.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% we could do it. 07:17.333 --> 07:20.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You just take your weight in pounds and you divide it 07:20.433 --> 07:23.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% by your height in inches squared, 07:23.133 --> 07:25.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and you multiply that number by 703. 07:26.033 --> 07:30.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The people who actually do these scientific calculations 07:30.433 --> 07:32.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% on a routine basis use the metric system, 07:32.633 --> 07:35.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but I converted it here to pounds and inches. 07:35.700 --> 07:38.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So for example, a person who weighs 150 pounds 07:38.966 --> 07:42.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and is five-foot-five would get a number 07:42.466 --> 07:46.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of 24.96, right on the edge. 07:46.533 --> 07:49.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If that person had come out with a number 07:49.266 --> 07:52.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of under 18.5, it would be considered underweight. 07:53.033 --> 07:56.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% There aren't too many people that are in that category, 07:56.133 --> 07:58.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but there are people in that category. 07:58.566 --> 08:01.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% 18.5 to 24.9 08:02.033 --> 08:06.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is the range that's considered a healthy, normal weight. 08:06.433 --> 08:10.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now more than half of Americans, and as a matter of fact, 08:10.533 --> 08:12.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% two-thirds of Americans are in one 08:13.000 --> 08:15.833 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of these last two categories. 08:15.933 --> 08:20.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% In the category of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. 08:20.266 --> 08:25.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then over 30, or 30 and over, is considered obese. 08:28.166 --> 08:31.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Just because you need to know that it's not 08:31.933 --> 08:35.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% just the diseases I mentioned a few minutes ago, 08:35.433 --> 08:39.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but also gallbladder disease, arthritis, 08:39.200 --> 08:43.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% apnea and breathing problems, inflammation disorders, 08:43.400 --> 08:45.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% several kinds of cancer, 08:45.500 --> 08:48.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and there's actually a longer list but I stopped here 08:48.266 --> 08:50.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% because it's too depressing. 08:50.166 --> 08:51.366 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% (laughter) 08:51.466 --> 08:53.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% How many of you have seen maps like this, 08:53.400 --> 08:55.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% showing the prevalence of obesity? 08:55.733 --> 08:57.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% How many of you remember hearing 08:57.600 --> 08:59.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that Wisconsin has the highest rates 08:59.333 --> 09:01.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of obesity in the country? 09:02.500 --> 09:05.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Yeah, I think everybody who raised their hand 09:05.166 --> 09:07.366 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% is maybe over 30, 09:07.466 --> 09:10.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% maybe even getting up into my age category. 09:10.400 --> 09:13.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% When the Centers for Disease Control started putting out 09:13.433 --> 09:16.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% these maps, they didn't have the data for every state. 09:16.300 --> 09:18.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They had the data for over half of the states, 09:18.633 --> 09:22.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and Wisconsin, being a progressive public health state 09:22.233 --> 09:26.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in the '70s, had good data. 09:26.400 --> 09:28.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And our data showed that 09:29.000 --> 09:32.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% we had one of the highest obesity rates in the country. 09:33.466 --> 09:36.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Since then, all 50 states have joined the survey, 09:36.800 --> 09:39.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and this is based on, actually, 09:39.866 --> 09:41.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% a telephone survey that's done every year, 09:41.933 --> 09:46.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% sanctioned by the CDC, in which they call households, 09:46.366 --> 09:48.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% now they call also on cell phones because so many people 09:48.866 --> 09:50.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% don't have a home line, 09:50.833 --> 09:54.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and ask a bunch of questions about whether you smoke 09:54.133 --> 09:56.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and whether you use seatbelts and all of that. 09:56.100 --> 09:58.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And one of the things they ask is, 09:58.200 --> 10:00.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for a selected adult in the household, 10:00.900 --> 10:04.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% how tall and much that person weighs. 10:04.400 --> 10:07.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And the simple calculation of BMI that I showed you, 10:07.766 --> 10:10.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Body Mass Index, leads to these figures. 10:10.733 --> 10:12.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And if you can see on the bottom, 10:12.933 --> 10:15.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the kind of yellow is for people, 10:15.733 --> 10:18.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or states, that have less than a quarter 10:19.000 --> 10:22.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of their population in the obesity category. 10:22.400 --> 10:24.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Not overweight, but obese, 10:24.400 --> 10:26.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% the highest number, the over 30. 10:27.000 --> 10:30.833 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And the light green, 10:30.933 --> 10:33.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% oh I'm sorry, that's the 20% to 25%. 10:33.966 --> 10:37.166 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Then 25% to 30% is 10:37.266 --> 10:39.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the category that Wisconsin is in. 10:40.066 --> 10:43.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% We have 25% to 30% of our population 10:43.600 --> 10:45.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% categorized as obese. 10:47.233 --> 10:49.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Isn't that a relief, We're not the highest 10:49.633 --> 10:52.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in the country anymore, for a number of reasons. 10:52.333 --> 10:55.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you remember one thing I said a few minutes ago 10:55.200 --> 10:57.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% about the ethnic representations? 10:57.733 --> 11:00.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The number of blacks and Hispanics 11:00.466 --> 11:02.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% are quite a bit higher in some of the other states 11:02.866 --> 11:04.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% than they are in Wisconsin, 11:04.566 --> 11:06.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and that's probably part of that reason. 11:06.466 --> 11:09.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And before we feel too proud about being in the yellow, 11:09.900 --> 11:11.833 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% let me point out to you 11:11.933 --> 11:15.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that the latest numbers are like 29.8. 11:15.666 --> 11:19.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So all we need is a few more people to gain five pounds 11:19.966 --> 11:23.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and we spill over into the orange category, 11:23.166 --> 11:25.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% which is 30% to 35%. 11:25.366 --> 11:27.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then a few unfortunate states, 11:27.866 --> 11:31.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% West Virginia and Mississippi, have more than 35%. 11:32.000 --> 11:35.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% More than 35% of their population, 11:35.166 --> 11:38.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% not adults, not just overweight, but obese. 11:39.033 --> 11:42.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This is what, you have to be like 30 to 40 pounds 11:42.333 --> 11:45.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% overweight to get into that category. 11:45.333 --> 11:47.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This is a serious public health issue. 11:48.033 --> 11:50.533 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Personally, for the person 11:50.633 --> 11:54.033 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% who has obesity as a health condition, 11:54.133 --> 11:56.866 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% and for our nation, that has the health care 11:56.966 --> 11:59.500 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% costs associated with obesity. 12:01.366 --> 12:04.133 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% The rates have changed over time. 12:04.233 --> 12:07.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This is from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 12:07.366 --> 12:10.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% report that I told you was put out earlier this year. 12:10.666 --> 12:12.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And you'll see three shades of gray. 12:12.633 --> 12:15.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The one on the bottom is for the percent 12:15.300 --> 12:17.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of the population that's overweight. 12:17.600 --> 12:20.366 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Over time, starting from 1988 12:20.466 --> 12:23.166 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% to '94 is the first time period. 12:23.266 --> 12:26.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then ending up in the 2011, 2012 time period. 12:26.700 --> 12:29.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You can see that for males on the left, 12:29.966 --> 12:32.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the rates of overweight have actually 12:32.133 --> 12:34.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% gone down a little bit, yay. 12:34.533 --> 12:38.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% However, in that overall 12:38.566 --> 12:41.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% chart on the left, you can see that the number 12:41.166 --> 12:44.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% who are obese have gone up. 12:44.600 --> 12:47.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So that totally the number who are overweight, 12:47.100 --> 12:49.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% obese, or extremely obese, 12:49.400 --> 12:52.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% extremely obese is a BMI of 40 or higher, 12:52.666 --> 12:56.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% make an overall trend to increase, 12:56.800 --> 12:58.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% with a little bit of dip 12:58.433 --> 13:00.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% right at the last couple of years. 13:00.233 --> 13:03.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Let's cross our fingers and hope that little dip doesn't 13:03.333 --> 13:04.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% go back the other way. 13:05.066 --> 13:08.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% For females, the overweight has been pretty steady. 13:08.766 --> 13:10.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The rates of obesity increased a lot 13:11.033 --> 13:13.100 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% around the turn of the century. 13:13.200 --> 13:16.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And unfortunately, you can see, 13:16.600 --> 13:20.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% it's a really statistically significant trend 13:20.400 --> 13:24.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that the rates of extreme obesity have gone up, 13:24.366 --> 13:26.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% especially for females. 13:26.633 --> 13:28.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Extreme obesity, this, these are people 13:28.633 --> 13:31.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% who are like 80 pounds overweight. 13:34.266 --> 13:37.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now, over the years it's been really hard 13:37.800 --> 13:40.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to try to detect this condition in children 13:40.333 --> 13:43.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because of how we define overweight 13:44.033 --> 13:47.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and obesity and how we want protect the sensitivity 13:47.166 --> 13:49.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of children by not giving them labels. 13:49.400 --> 13:52.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But the Centers for Disease Control decided 13:52.766 --> 13:55.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that we actually need to use these terms 13:55.200 --> 13:58.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "overweight" and "obese," and based on some historic data, 13:58.533 --> 14:00.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% based on the number of kids 14:00.700 --> 14:04.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% who were at the top 10% and the top 5% 14:04.333 --> 14:08.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% back in the 1968 time period, 14:08.533 --> 14:11.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% we now have those rates 14:11.433 --> 14:13.866 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of that level of body fatness 14:13.966 --> 14:17.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% affecting 10% and 30% 14:18.000 --> 14:21.033 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of our children, cumulatively. 14:21.133 --> 14:24.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So what used to be the top 10% of body weight in children 14:24.633 --> 14:29.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is now exhibited by 30% of the children in this country, 14:29.266 --> 14:32.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and it's true for both boys and girls. 14:32.766 --> 14:36.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% That prompted the Economist magazine 14:36.466 --> 14:38.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% to put out this cover 14:38.366 --> 14:41.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in 2003, over 10 years ago. 14:41.600 --> 14:45.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And I think those of you who are fans of evolution might 14:45.700 --> 14:48.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% see either the humor or the tragedy 14:48.600 --> 14:50.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in this particular depiction. 14:52.700 --> 14:56.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now, if you're not obese, good for you, 14:56.433 --> 14:58.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% but you still need to eat well. 14:58.366 --> 15:01.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% A lot of those disease conditions that I reported 15:02.066 --> 15:05.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% are still affected by how much you exercise 15:05.700 --> 15:08.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and how well you eat. 15:08.600 --> 15:10.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And we have good data that just being thin 15:10.866 --> 15:12.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% doesn't get you off the hook. 15:12.733 --> 15:16.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% A few of you are a little disappointed by that, 15:16.266 --> 15:17.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% but oh well. 15:19.000 --> 15:22.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Which nutrients do we need more of in the American diet 15:22.500 --> 15:26.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and which ones are overconsumed so that the official 15:26.100 --> 15:28.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% recommendations say to have less? 15:29.066 --> 15:31.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Guess which ones are going to be on the list 15:31.400 --> 15:33.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I'm going to show you next. 15:33.300 --> 15:36.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% These are the shortfall nutrients, 15:36.500 --> 15:39.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and the nutrients with the stars are the ones 15:39.666 --> 15:42.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 15:42.233 --> 15:44.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% said are public health concerns. 15:44.866 --> 15:48.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They're not only significant less than recommended levels 15:48.600 --> 15:52.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for the American population based on a lot of biological 15:52.866 --> 15:55.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% calculations but they're associated 15:55.966 --> 16:00.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% with a significant rate of chronic disease risk. 16:00.400 --> 16:04.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So that low intakes of these nutrients 16:04.266 --> 16:07.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% have a measurable and definable 16:07.100 --> 16:09.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and detectable public health consequence, 16:09.833 --> 16:11.666 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and personal health consequence. 16:11.766 --> 16:15.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So you can see vitamin A is number one on the list. 16:15.633 --> 16:19.100 align:left position:10%,start line:77% size:80% I have a colleague in the Department of Nutritional Sciences 16:19.200 --> 16:21.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% who is one of the top experts in the world, 16:22.000 --> 16:24.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and she would be happy to give you a lecture 16:24.866 --> 16:27.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% all about the chemistry of vitamin A. 16:27.300 --> 16:31.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And how it's also easy, 16:31.733 --> 16:33.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and in some parts of the world prevalent 16:34.033 --> 16:36.133 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% to get too much vitamin A. 16:36.233 --> 16:38.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So just like carbon dioxide and all those wonderful 16:38.966 --> 16:41.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% things, we need enough but not too much. 16:41.666 --> 16:45.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But in this country, especially unless you're taking huge 16:45.733 --> 16:48.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% supplements, you're likely under the recommended 16:48.700 --> 16:50.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% amount of vitamin A. 16:50.566 --> 16:52.666 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Vitamin D has a star. 16:52.766 --> 16:55.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And as many of you would have mentioned to each other, 16:56.000 --> 16:58.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% there's been a lot of publicity about vitamin D. 16:58.900 --> 17:01.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% When I was a kid I even knew about vitamin D 17:01.500 --> 17:04.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because it's related to your, the health of your bones 17:04.100 --> 17:06.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and it was one of the reasons you needed to drink your milk. 17:06.733 --> 17:09.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% But nowadays we have a number 17:09.833 --> 17:12.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of health consequences that are associated 17:12.133 --> 17:14.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% with low intakes of vitamin D, 17:14.633 --> 17:18.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and low levels of levels of vitamin D in the body stores. 17:18.133 --> 17:21.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Vitamin E, vitamin C are quite familiar. 17:21.266 --> 17:24.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% How many of you mentioned folate to each other? 17:26.133 --> 17:29.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Folate is one that people don't hear about a lot. 17:30.066 --> 17:33.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It doesn't have a star, so we don't have for sure 17:33.766 --> 17:37.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% some disease conditions that are associated 17:37.266 --> 17:39.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% with low intakes within the range 17:39.700 --> 17:41.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that are a problem in this country. 17:41.933 --> 17:46.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But the typical intakes are much lower than recommended. 17:46.366 --> 17:49.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Folate is one of the nutrients associated with cell growth. 17:49.600 --> 17:53.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So it's pretty important, especially for young children 17:53.300 --> 17:56.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or people who, pregnant women, people who are undergoing 17:56.400 --> 17:58.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% a lot of cell division like, 17:59.866 --> 18:03.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that is prevalent when a baby is growing 18:03.733 --> 18:05.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or when a young child is growing. 18:05.933 --> 18:07.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Calcium has a star. 18:07.800 --> 18:12.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I think you are all quite aware of the osteoporosis 18:12.166 --> 18:15.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% associations with both calcium and vitamin D. 18:15.600 --> 18:17.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% How many of you mentioned magnesium? 18:19.433 --> 18:22.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Ah, there's a hand back there, okay. 18:22.633 --> 18:24.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Magnesium doesn't have a star, but it's definitely 18:24.833 --> 18:27.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% on the list of nutrients that we don't 18:27.300 --> 18:29.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% take in anywhere near, on average, 18:29.933 --> 18:31.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% the recommended amounts. 18:31.833 --> 18:34.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The next one has a star and it's really important 18:35.033 --> 18:37.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and a lot of people don't think of it as a nutrient 18:37.900 --> 18:40.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because it's chemically a little more complicated 18:40.800 --> 18:42.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% than, say, vitamin C. 18:42.633 --> 18:44.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% How many of you mentioned fiber? 18:44.600 --> 18:46.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Okay, a few hands. 18:46.400 --> 18:48.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Good for you, you get a star. 18:48.633 --> 18:51.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And notice that there's a star next to fiber. 18:51.666 --> 18:53.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It is a nutrient of public health concern 18:53.933 --> 18:55.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and I'm going to talk a little bit 18:55.966 --> 18:57.366 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% more about that in a minute. 18:57.466 --> 18:59.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And I'm willing to bet very few 18:59.333 --> 19:01.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of you mentioned potassium. 19:02.366 --> 19:04.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Two people, three, okay. 19:04.566 --> 19:07.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It has a significant effect, along with sodium chloride, 19:07.733 --> 19:09.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% which is the nutrient that 19:09.600 --> 19:12.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I am emphasizing today on blood pressure. 19:12.133 --> 19:14.266 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% And I'll get to that in a minute. 19:14.366 --> 19:15.833 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% And I already mentioned iron. 19:15.933 --> 19:17.933 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% It's got a special little category. 19:18.033 --> 19:21.100 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% It gets a star for women of child-bearing age. 19:23.366 --> 19:26.400 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Over-consumed nutrients, there's two of them: 19:26.500 --> 19:30.766 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% sodium and saturated fat, along with added sugars. 19:30.866 --> 19:34.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Added sugars, that's a funny name for a nutrient. 19:35.066 --> 19:38.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Of course there's no chemical difference between the sugar 19:38.266 --> 19:41.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that's added to food, like the sugar in a Coca-Cola, 19:42.000 --> 19:45.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or a Pepsi or a Squirt or Gatorade, 19:46.866 --> 19:51.733 align:left position:10%,start line:77% size:80% than there is in the sugar that's in, let's say, pineapples. 19:52.933 --> 19:55.033 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Chemically there's no difference 19:55.133 --> 19:57.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but we do a really good job of consuming 19:57.533 --> 19:59.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% too much, not pineapples, 20:00.000 --> 20:04.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but the other kind of sugar, the sugar that's been taken 20:04.200 --> 20:07.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% out of one food and added to another. 20:07.100 --> 20:10.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee says we should 20:10.900 --> 20:14.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% have less than 2,300 milligrams of dietary sodium per day. 20:14.266 --> 20:16.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% That's about a teaspoon. 20:16.100 --> 20:18.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The typical intake in this country is much higher, 20:18.900 --> 20:20.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% as I'll tell you in a minute. 20:20.566 --> 20:22.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Less than 10% of our calories should 20:22.466 --> 20:24.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% come from saturated fat. 20:24.733 --> 20:28.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% The recent, the 2010 edition 20:28.166 --> 20:30.033 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of the dietary guidelines 20:30.133 --> 20:32.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% made a big deal about solid fats, 20:32.666 --> 20:35.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% which included saturated fats and trans fats. 20:36.000 --> 20:38.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Dr. McBride probably talked to you 20:38.733 --> 20:40.366 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% quite a bit about trans fats. 20:40.466 --> 20:43.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You probably know that the Food and Drug Administration 20:43.366 --> 20:46.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% has issued an edict and told food companies, 20:46.533 --> 20:48.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% "Okay, you've got three years, 20:48.633 --> 20:50.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "and in those three years you gotta get 20:50.466 --> 20:52.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "your trans fats out of the food supply. 20:52.600 --> 20:54.866 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% "No more ifs, ands or buts. 20:54.966 --> 20:57.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "The evidence is just too strong." 20:57.300 --> 21:00.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So, I'm not going to talk about solid fats as a combination 21:00.433 --> 21:02.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of saturated and trans fats like I have 21:02.900 --> 21:04.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% for the last five or ten years, 21:05.033 --> 21:08.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I'm now going to focus in on saturated fats, 21:08.133 --> 21:11.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% with the caveat that over time trans fats 21:11.233 --> 21:13.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% will leave the food supply. 21:14.400 --> 21:18.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then the setting of a limit for added sugars 21:18.933 --> 21:22.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% has been incredibly difficult 21:22.700 --> 21:24.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% for scientists to agree on, 21:24.566 --> 21:27.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but the latest recommendation is 10% or less 21:27.833 --> 21:30.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of your calories should come from added sugars. 21:30.433 --> 21:33.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% That seems like that should be easy, but most of us aren't 21:33.100 --> 21:36.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% doing a very good job of meeting this recommendation. 21:36.433 --> 21:37.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And if you know any teenage boys, 21:37.966 --> 21:41.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I guarantee they're way, way above. 21:42.900 --> 21:46.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Okay, so let's talk in terms of food. 21:46.166 --> 21:47.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% That's enough about nutrients. 21:47.866 --> 21:50.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% We don't eat vitamin A, we don't eat potassium. 21:50.633 --> 21:53.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If we did eat potassium we'd probably be in trouble. 21:53.933 --> 21:56.366 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% We eat these nutrients in salts 21:56.466 --> 21:59.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and in chemical combinations 21:59.800 --> 22:03.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that put together to make our food. 22:03.633 --> 22:06.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee said there 22:07.000 --> 22:10.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% are several recommended dietary patterns that will help us 22:10.933 --> 22:13.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% meet those nutrient recommendations. 22:13.500 --> 22:15.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% One of them you're quite familiar with, I bet, 22:15.533 --> 22:17.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% is the Mediterranean diet. 22:18.466 --> 22:21.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Another one is the diet pattern recommended in the U.S. 22:22.000 --> 22:24.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Department of Agriculture's MyPlate food guidance system 22:25.033 --> 22:27.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that I talked about a minute ago. 22:27.333 --> 22:30.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Either way, we need to eat more fruits, more vegetables, 22:30.733 --> 22:32.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% more whole grains. 22:32.333 --> 22:35.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% We need to eat more low-fat or non-fat diary 22:35.466 --> 22:37.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% or the equivalent. 22:37.500 --> 22:40.133 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% More seafood, more legumes, 22:40.233 --> 22:42.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% which if you don't use that term a lot, 22:42.266 --> 22:44.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% is peas and beans, 22:44.300 --> 22:47.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% soybeans, and nuts. 22:47.400 --> 22:50.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% We should eat less red meat and processed meats, 22:50.466 --> 22:52.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% for a number of reasons. 22:52.633 --> 22:55.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% One has to do with that water chart 22:56.066 --> 22:58.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that Bassam showed you a little while ago 22:58.633 --> 23:01.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% about how much of our water supply 23:01.466 --> 23:04.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is threatened when Americans eat so much red meat. 23:04.733 --> 23:07.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Some of these things go around and come around 23:07.366 --> 23:10.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and I'll talk about that again in a minute. 23:10.666 --> 23:13.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Less sugar-sweetened foods and drinks. 23:13.466 --> 23:15.833 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Oh, darn, that's my downfall. 23:15.933 --> 23:18.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And less refined grains, which is the source 23:18.600 --> 23:21.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of a lot of added sugar in our diets. 23:21.366 --> 23:24.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So I think many of you know sodium chloride 23:24.466 --> 23:26.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% is the chemical name for salt, 23:26.833 --> 23:29.666 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% which is abbreviated N-A-C-L. 23:29.766 --> 23:33.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Food labels use both terms, sodium and salt, 23:33.266 --> 23:35.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% so some people get a little confused. 23:35.766 --> 23:39.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Salt is 40% sodium and 60% chloride. 23:39.933 --> 23:42.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% A high sodium intake is related to high blood pressure 23:43.066 --> 23:46.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and stroke and heart disease. 23:46.333 --> 23:49.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And as I mentioned, we're recommended to have less than 23:49.966 --> 23:54.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% 2,300 milligrams, less than a teaspoon a day, of sodium, 23:54.800 --> 23:59.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and we get 3,400 milligrams as an average 23:59.500 --> 24:02.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and many people get a lot more. 24:02.400 --> 24:05.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The sources of sodium in the American diet, 24:05.866 --> 24:07.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% according to the latest figures. 24:07.866 --> 24:12.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% See that big gray half of the circle almost, on the right? 24:12.300 --> 24:15.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you can't read the little words there in white, it says, 24:15.300 --> 24:18.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "Mixed dishes," and then those are broken up 24:18.300 --> 24:20.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in that bar on the left. 24:20.300 --> 24:23.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Pizza 6%, burgers 21%. 24:23.700 --> 24:25.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Meat, poultry and seafood dishes 6%. 24:25.900 --> 24:28.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Rice, pasta and grain dishes 7%. 24:28.366 --> 24:30.133 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And soups, 4%. 24:30.233 --> 24:32.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So if you add those all up, "Mixed dishes" accounts 24:32.933 --> 24:35.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for 44% of the sodium in our diet. 24:35.900 --> 24:39.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Another big category there is grains. 24:39.200 --> 24:42.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And another big category is protein foods. 24:42.533 --> 24:45.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Protein foods being meat and poultry and eggs. 24:46.766 --> 24:50.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then, but really all of the food groupings 24:50.133 --> 24:51.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% contribute quite a bit of sodium. 24:52.000 --> 24:55.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This is one where beverages kind of get off the hook. 24:55.233 --> 24:56.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% One thing that may surprise you 24:57.066 --> 24:59.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is how much of it comes from grains. 24:59.366 --> 25:03.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you eat bread, those of you who make bread, 25:03.166 --> 25:06.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% know that most of the bread that we eat 25:06.366 --> 25:08.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in this country has quite a bit of sodium 25:08.266 --> 25:10.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% added to it in the form of salt. 25:10.800 --> 25:13.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It helps control the action of the yeast 25:13.333 --> 25:14.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and it helps the bread taste better 25:15.066 --> 25:17.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and it keeps it from getting stale faster. 25:17.366 --> 25:20.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% For a number of reasons 25:20.633 --> 25:23.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% there's quite a bit of sodium 25:24.033 --> 25:26.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% or salt in bread foods. 25:26.866 --> 25:29.033 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Dairy might surprise you. 25:29.133 --> 25:33.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% In that case, it's one of the few foods that just is 25:33.400 --> 25:36.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% naturally occurring to be, 25:36.333 --> 25:38.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% not high in salt, but more salt 25:38.400 --> 25:41.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% than a lot of other foods would have if we didn't 25:41.533 --> 25:43.033 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% add any sodium. 25:43.133 --> 25:46.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And if any of you have been put on a, like, you have to go 25:46.566 --> 25:50.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% on the strictest diet possible for your sodium intake 25:50.866 --> 25:53.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for medical reasons, you might have actually been told 25:53.766 --> 25:56.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that you have to be careful of your dairy intake. 25:56.700 --> 26:00.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The rest of you that's not so much of an issue. 26:00.533 --> 26:02.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I thought this was interesting 26:02.600 --> 26:05.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's report. 26:05.200 --> 26:08.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They looked at the amount of sodium we get 26:08.566 --> 26:11.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% if we get our food from stores. 26:11.600 --> 26:15.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% That's the dark diamond-shaped bar on the bottom. 26:16.033 --> 26:19.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The stars represent schools and daycares. 26:19.533 --> 26:23.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The little open triangles represent quick serve 26:23.300 --> 26:26.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% restaurants, the kind of drop-in or drive-through kind, 26:27.000 --> 26:30.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or the other kind of restaurant is the open square. 26:30.366 --> 26:32.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% That's more like the sit-down restaurant, 26:32.833 --> 26:35.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% like going to Applebee's or something like that. 26:35.900 --> 26:38.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% So you can see that it's almost 26:38.800 --> 26:41.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% like the faster it is, 26:41.400 --> 26:43.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the more trouble you're going to get into. 26:43.600 --> 26:46.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But the sit-down restaurants are really good also 26:46.100 --> 26:47.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% at giving us a lot of sodium. 26:47.866 --> 26:50.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So it's one of those cases where going 26:50.233 --> 26:51.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to a sit-down restaurant isn't going 26:51.966 --> 26:54.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to make your diet that much better 26:54.466 --> 26:57.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% than going to McDonald's or Burger King. 26:57.366 --> 27:01.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The dark line is the middle is HEI limit. 27:01.133 --> 27:04.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% HEI stands for the Healthy Eating Index. 27:04.900 --> 27:08.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It's an overall index that's used as a measure 27:08.133 --> 27:09.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% of diet quality in the U.S. 27:09.666 --> 27:12.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So you can see that no matter where you get your food, 27:12.433 --> 27:15.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the density of sodium per thousand calories 27:15.733 --> 27:17.666 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% is above the recommended levels. 27:17.766 --> 27:20.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And you're going to need to be really careful if you want 27:20.433 --> 27:23.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to obey the recommendations for sodium. 27:23.366 --> 27:27.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I gave you on the top of the slide the link 27:27.633 --> 27:30.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to the full recommendations of this tip sheet. 27:31.066 --> 27:33.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you're concerned for eating less sodium, 27:33.766 --> 27:36.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the very first thing is to think fresh. 27:36.566 --> 27:39.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% That's because over three-quarters of the sodium 27:39.233 --> 27:43.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in our food supply comes from salt that somebody put there. 27:43.333 --> 27:46.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Not necessarily in the milk you drink but in just about 27:46.400 --> 27:48.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% everything else, somebody salted it 27:48.800 --> 27:51.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% before you ever got your hands on it. 27:51.233 --> 27:52.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% If you went out for pizza, 27:52.900 --> 27:55.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% you can be darn sure that's the truth. 27:55.400 --> 27:57.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But even if you made your sandwich with a piece of bread 27:58.033 --> 28:01.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and some ham, somebody put a lot of sodium in those 28:01.466 --> 28:04.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% components, the mayonnaise, the mustard, everything. 28:06.066 --> 28:09.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% While you're thinking fresh, Enjoy home-prepared foods 28:09.266 --> 28:11.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% because then you have control 28:11.500 --> 28:13.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% about how much sodium is added 28:13.566 --> 28:16.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% once the food gets home from the store. 28:16.533 --> 28:18.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Fill up on veggies and fruits. 28:18.666 --> 28:22.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Mother Nature gave us some very low-sodium food products. 28:23.000 --> 28:25.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And if you have a garden like mine right now 28:25.700 --> 28:27.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that is the easiest thing to do in the world. 28:27.966 --> 28:29.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% In fact, before I came here today, 28:29.500 --> 28:31.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I picked raspberries and peas. 28:33.033 --> 28:37.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Choose dairy and protein foods that are lower in sodium. 28:37.100 --> 28:39.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Protein foods: beef, pork, 28:39.800 --> 28:42.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% chicken, fish, eggs. 28:42.533 --> 28:45.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Those foods many of them have a lot of sodium added 28:45.300 --> 28:48.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% before you buy them or before you eat them. 28:49.000 --> 28:50.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Adjust your taste buds. 28:50.900 --> 28:54.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Research has shown over and over again, we're not born 28:54.400 --> 28:57.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% with a preference for salt like we are for sugar. 28:57.100 --> 28:59.966 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Little babies, they'll smile 29:00.066 --> 29:01.666 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% when you give them sugar-water. 29:01.766 --> 29:03.866 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% They even think they feel pain less 29:03.966 --> 29:05.833 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% when you give them sugar-water. 29:07.066 --> 29:09.466 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% That is reinforced over time. 29:09.566 --> 29:13.600 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% But the preference for how much sodium we like in our food, 29:13.700 --> 29:15.533 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% that is learned. 29:15.633 --> 29:18.566 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% We have come over the years 29:18.666 --> 29:21.800 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% to decide that food doesn't taste salty enough 29:21.900 --> 29:24.033 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% because it's not what we're used to. 29:24.133 --> 29:26.733 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% So the good news is we can unlearn that. 29:26.833 --> 29:30.766 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% If you try to do it right away, you're going to go, 29:30.866 --> 29:34.033 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% "Oh, this food, it doesn't taste right!" 29:34.133 --> 29:37.666 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% A year and a half ago I went to Tuscany. 29:37.766 --> 29:39.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And those of you who have been 29:39.700 --> 29:42.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to Florence and Italy and that area 29:42.466 --> 29:45.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% might know about the historic reason that they 29:45.300 --> 29:48.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% don't add salt to your bread, their bread and butter. 29:48.166 --> 29:51.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It has to do with wars, like everything else. 29:52.033 --> 29:55.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But anyway, they learned to have butter and bread 29:55.900 --> 29:59.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% without sodium and they never did start putting it back in. 29:59.333 --> 30:02.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So the restaurants that serve traditional foods 30:02.533 --> 30:05.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% have low sodium bread and butter. 30:05.600 --> 30:08.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And, of course, when my husband and I from Wisconsin 30:08.200 --> 30:09.666 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% were there we're going, 30:12.966 --> 30:15.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% "This is so bland!" 30:15.300 --> 30:17.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because we're more accustomed to what bread and butter 30:17.733 --> 30:19.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% tastes like in our country. 30:19.100 --> 30:20.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But you can adjust your taste buds. 30:21.000 --> 30:23.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And the people in Florence tell me they think it tastes 30:23.733 --> 30:25.866 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% better the way they eat it. 30:25.966 --> 30:29.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Skip the salt, take it away from the table. 30:29.433 --> 30:31.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If somebody wants to add salt to their food, 30:31.466 --> 30:34.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% make them get up and go find a salt shaker. 30:34.100 --> 30:36.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% One of your big incentives to deciding, 30:37.033 --> 30:39.100 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% "Well, maybe it's salty enough." 30:39.200 --> 30:40.833 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Read the labels. 30:40.933 --> 30:42.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% (sighing) 30:42.833 --> 30:45.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I feel like I should wag my finger. 30:45.766 --> 30:47.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% You know I go to the store 30:47.733 --> 30:49.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and I just find labels fascinating, 30:49.500 --> 30:52.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but some people don't for some strange reason. 30:52.666 --> 30:54.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% But here's the good news. 30:54.633 --> 30:58.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Most of us buy about 80% of the same things this trip 30:58.466 --> 31:02.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to the store as you did to the last trip to the store 31:02.100 --> 31:05.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% as you did to the trip to the store before. 31:05.466 --> 31:07.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% So once you've read the labels 31:07.700 --> 31:11.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% on the hot dogs versus the bratwurst, 31:11.866 --> 31:13.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% you don't have to do that again, 31:13.566 --> 31:15.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because you already figured that out 31:15.166 --> 31:16.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and you can go for the one 31:17.000 --> 31:19.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that you already figured out is low sodium. 31:19.133 --> 31:21.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So spend a little time and then you'll know 31:21.700 --> 31:24.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% some very useful information. 31:25.666 --> 31:27.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Pay attention to condiments. 31:27.833 --> 31:31.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It's the things that we put on top of our foods. 31:32.000 --> 31:34.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Just think of the last time you had a hot dog. 31:34.533 --> 31:37.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% As if a hot dog wasn't salty enough, right? 31:37.233 --> 31:40.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you're like me you like sauerkraut on your hot dog, 31:40.300 --> 31:42.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% ketchup, mustard, pickles. 31:43.033 --> 31:45.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I mean, can you think of anything you put on a hot dog 31:45.966 --> 31:47.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that isn't high in sodium? 31:49.233 --> 31:53.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% A good example of being careful of your condiments. 31:54.433 --> 31:58.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then, this tip for eating less sodium 31:58.633 --> 32:00.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% ends up with the recommendation, 32:00.833 --> 32:02.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% "Boost your potassium intake." 32:02.866 --> 32:05.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now boosting your potassium intake is not 32:05.366 --> 32:09.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% going to automatically make you eat less sodium. 32:10.700 --> 32:13.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But, it's a very important nutrient 32:13.500 --> 32:17.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because potassium helps to counterbalance 32:17.200 --> 32:20.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% some of the effects, the chemical effects on the body 32:20.833 --> 32:23.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that makes sodium raise your blood pressure. 32:23.233 --> 32:25.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% That's true if you have high blood pressure 32:25.733 --> 32:28.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or if you have normal blood pressure. 32:28.666 --> 32:31.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I once asked my primary care provider, 32:31.800 --> 32:36.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "Gee, my blood pressure is low, should I be worried?" 32:36.500 --> 32:40.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% My husband is so jealous, he gets mad at me every time I go 32:40.266 --> 32:43.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because it's like 110 over 70 at its highest. 32:43.533 --> 32:47.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And she said, "Listen, If you're conscious, it's good." 32:47.600 --> 32:50.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So unless you're passing out from low sodium, 32:50.466 --> 32:53.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% don't worry about low, low blood pressure. 32:53.600 --> 32:56.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So even if your blood pressure is in the normal range, 32:56.266 --> 32:58.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% lowering it a little bit by eating more potassium 32:58.866 --> 33:01.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and less sodium isn't going to get you in trouble. 33:01.433 --> 33:03.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The recommended amount, for those of you who like numbers: 33:04.066 --> 33:06.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day. 33:07.033 --> 33:10.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The best food sources are leafy greens. 33:10.533 --> 33:12.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Examples are spinach and collards. 33:12.933 --> 33:15.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Fruit, especially fruit that grows on vines. 33:15.433 --> 33:18.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Root vegetables were mentioned earlier 33:18.933 --> 33:21.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% about how much water they take, 33:21.566 --> 33:24.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but they are excellent sources of potassium. 33:24.700 --> 33:26.500 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And citrus fruits. 33:28.466 --> 33:31.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now the next slide I'm showing you 33:31.566 --> 33:34.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is a little bit hard to interpret 33:34.366 --> 33:36.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% so let me spend a minute on it with you. 33:36.800 --> 33:40.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% One of the recommendations that I bet everybody in this 33:40.900 --> 33:44.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% room needs to pay more attention to, 33:44.833 --> 33:47.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is the recommendation to eat more whole grains. 33:47.866 --> 33:52.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Not just for fiber, but importantly for dietary fiber, 33:52.300 --> 33:53.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but for a number of those nutrients 33:53.866 --> 33:56.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that we're recommended to have more of. 33:57.133 --> 33:58.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Potassium, even. 34:00.166 --> 34:02.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And whole grains in this country, 34:02.866 --> 34:06.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% no matter how much I've been telling people for 30 years, 34:06.133 --> 34:09.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "Eat more whole grains," they're not doing it. 34:09.266 --> 34:12.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This chart, if you see where the zero line is 34:12.666 --> 34:16.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in the middle, the black line shows the percentage 34:16.266 --> 34:19.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of the population that has intakes of whole grains 34:19.566 --> 34:21.166 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% below the recommendation that, 34:21.266 --> 34:24.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% which is roughly the equivalent of 3 ounces a day. 34:25.900 --> 34:29.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The little white bars that you can hardly see are the ones 34:29.933 --> 34:33.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% who meet or exceed the recommendations 34:33.700 --> 34:36.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of about 3 ounces of whole grains a day. 34:36.900 --> 34:39.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Roughly a slice of whole wheat bread, 34:39.266 --> 34:41.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% 100% whole wheat bread. 34:41.333 --> 34:43.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Some of you probably are eating whole wheat bread, 34:43.833 --> 34:46.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% whole wheat pasta, most of your grains 34:46.433 --> 34:49.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in the form of whole wheat, most of you are not. 34:49.366 --> 34:51.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% When I go to a restaurant and I ask 34:51.833 --> 34:54.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% if they have any whole wheat 34:54.533 --> 34:56.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to put in the little bread basket on the table, 34:56.566 --> 35:00.366 align:left position:10%,start line:77% size:80% they look at me like, "Oh, nobody's ever asked that before." 35:00.466 --> 35:02.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I'm like, "What is this about?" 35:02.533 --> 35:04.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This is not a new recommendation, 35:04.366 --> 35:06.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% this has been around for 20 years. 35:06.300 --> 35:08.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% For some reason, people aren't doing it. 35:08.966 --> 35:10.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I think it tastes better when it's whole grain bread, 35:11.066 --> 35:13.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% but maybe I'm just goofy. 35:15.700 --> 35:18.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now refined grains, on the other hand, 35:18.366 --> 35:22.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% we're all doing a splendid job, too splendid. 35:22.266 --> 35:25.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Refined grains are the ones that are made out of enriched 35:25.166 --> 35:27.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% flour or non-enriched flour, processed flour, that has 35:27.900 --> 35:30.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the bran and the germ taken out of it, 35:30.200 --> 35:34.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and many times sugar and other things added. 35:34.433 --> 35:38.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So notice how tiny the black lines are for refined grains, 35:39.000 --> 35:43.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and how huge the white and gray bars are for meeting 35:43.133 --> 35:45.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and exceeding the recommendations. 35:46.966 --> 35:50.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Over time, we've done actually a little better. 35:50.600 --> 35:54.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The black bars are for 2001 to 2004. 35:54.433 --> 35:57.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The good news is, for many of these age groups, 35:57.400 --> 36:01.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the ones with the little stars, the ones that are higher 36:01.400 --> 36:03.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% are the ones that are different are higher. 36:03.666 --> 36:07.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So some people are actually eating more whole grains. 36:07.200 --> 36:10.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Nobody's, no age group is anywhere 36:10.433 --> 36:11.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% near the 3 ounces a day, 36:11.900 --> 36:14.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but at least they're creeping in that direction. 36:14.766 --> 36:19.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I take hope on small, wonderful changes. 36:20.500 --> 36:23.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I call this one "Whence Cometh Thy Grains?" 36:23.766 --> 36:25.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So on the left side is whole grains 36:25.766 --> 36:27.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and on the right side is refined. 36:27.966 --> 36:31.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And the same little symbols that you saw before 36:31.400 --> 36:33.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% for going to the grocery store 36:33.166 --> 36:35.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and going to a sit-down restaurant, 36:35.266 --> 36:37.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% going to a quick-serve restaurant 36:37.533 --> 36:39.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or eating at a school or daycare. 36:40.033 --> 36:44.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You can see that for whole grains, they're all low. 36:44.200 --> 36:46.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But the people who get their food from the store 36:46.333 --> 36:47.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% do a little better. 36:47.800 --> 36:51.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And for the refined grains, they're all high. 36:51.133 --> 36:53.133 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% But the quick-serve restaurants 36:53.233 --> 36:56.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% are the biggest source of the refined grains. 36:58.866 --> 37:03.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now, we are in Wisconsin and I love to talk about dairy. 37:03.800 --> 37:08.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And I also get a lot of skeptical looks 37:08.700 --> 37:12.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% when I talk about dairy because a lot of my friends, 37:12.633 --> 37:17.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% my hobby, now that I'm retired is I'm a watercolor artist. 37:17.166 --> 37:19.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And when I talk to my art friends, 37:20.000 --> 37:22.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% they all think they're supposed to eat less dairy. 37:22.533 --> 37:24.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They're something inherently wrong with eating dairy. 37:24.833 --> 37:28.166 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% It's mostly fat or gives you some kind of awful disease. 37:28.266 --> 37:30.666 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% But I can assure you all those scientists 37:30.766 --> 37:34.633 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% that I mentioned a while ago that talked 37:34.733 --> 37:37.200 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% about the nutrients we need to eat more of 37:37.300 --> 37:39.333 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% and the food group we need to eat more of, 37:39.433 --> 37:41.300 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% they say consume more dairy. 37:41.400 --> 37:44.666 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% If you have lactose intolerance or for some reason, 37:44.766 --> 37:48.166 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% a personal reason, you're a strict vegetarian or whatever, 37:48.266 --> 37:50.966 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% you need to be very cognizant of getting 37:51.066 --> 37:54.066 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% a good intake of alternate sources. 37:54.166 --> 37:56.333 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% And alternate sources are not always 37:56.433 --> 37:58.566 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% good sources of the same nutrients. 37:58.666 --> 38:02.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So read the labels, look at soy milk or almond milk 38:02.300 --> 38:05.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or whatever it is that you're using as a dairy equivalent 38:05.933 --> 38:08.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and make sure you're getting a fortified version that has 38:08.566 --> 38:11.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% as many nutrients added back as possible. 38:11.500 --> 38:15.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% For most adults, on a 2,000 calorie diet, 38:15.200 --> 38:17.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the recommendation of dairy is three cups a day. 38:18.000 --> 38:19.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% That's not three cups of milk, 38:19.366 --> 38:21.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but three cups of what would have 38:21.733 --> 38:23.366 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% been milk when it started out. 38:23.466 --> 38:26.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So cheese and yogurt and all of that. 38:27.166 --> 38:30.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Notice most of these black lines are way longer 38:30.300 --> 38:32.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% than the white and gray lines. 38:33.066 --> 38:36.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And the older you get, the longer the black line is 38:37.033 --> 38:39.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% compared to the white and gray line, meaning the more 38:40.033 --> 38:43.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% people are not getting their recommended intake of dairy, 38:43.566 --> 38:47.466 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% which usually means they're not getting their recommended 38:47.566 --> 38:50.500 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% intakes of calcium, vitamin D, 38:50.600 --> 38:52.866 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% and one of the nutrients 38:52.966 --> 38:55.933 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% that dairy's a good source of: potassium. 38:56.033 --> 38:59.433 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Remember what we said about potassium a few minutes ago? 39:01.033 --> 39:05.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And over time, it's not unlike whole grains. 39:05.400 --> 39:07.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It's not gotten better; when there's changes, 39:07.500 --> 39:09.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% many of them are in the wrong direction. 39:11.133 --> 39:14.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Here's one of my favorite topics: the added sugars. 39:14.600 --> 39:17.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you eat pineapple or if you're like me and went out 39:17.733 --> 39:19.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to the garden today and picked some raspberries, 39:19.833 --> 39:22.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the sugar in there is not added sugar, 39:22.133 --> 39:25.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that's the sugar that Mother Nature put in your food. 39:25.300 --> 39:28.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% If you had a Coke or a Pepsi 39:28.100 --> 39:31.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or a sports drink or an energy drink 39:31.533 --> 39:34.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% or something that's marketed as being really good 39:34.466 --> 39:37.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for you because it's high in electrolytes or something, 39:37.333 --> 39:39.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% if it's sweetened with sugar, that's still added sugar 39:39.900 --> 39:42.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and it affects your body in the same way 39:42.133 --> 39:44.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% as if you had a Coke or Pepsi. 39:44.733 --> 39:48.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% By age group, remember when I said teenage boys? 39:48.200 --> 39:52.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The black bars are for their calorie intake 39:52.333 --> 39:56.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% where their limit is for how many added sugars 39:56.100 --> 39:58.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% they're supposed to stay under. 39:58.866 --> 40:02.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Notice for a 14- to 18-year-old male, 40:02.733 --> 40:05.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% way more than twice that much. 40:06.000 --> 40:08.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They are champions at eating foods 40:08.466 --> 40:10.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that are high in added sugars. 40:10.633 --> 40:12.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% When my kids were growing up, 40:12.666 --> 40:14.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% when they would go to the school bus, 40:14.966 --> 40:18.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the middle-school age boys who lived next door 40:18.266 --> 40:20.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% had Mountain Dew for breakfast every day 40:20.700 --> 40:24.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and went through life with a diet that wasn't much better. 40:24.766 --> 40:27.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And I was like, "Don't look at him." 40:27.966 --> 40:31.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But it's what's happening in our society. 40:33.433 --> 40:36.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now many people might be surprised. 40:36.366 --> 40:38.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This list is out of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory 40:39.033 --> 40:42.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Committee report combined 40:42.300 --> 40:44.433 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% with the 2010 version 40:44.533 --> 40:47.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. 40:47.133 --> 40:50.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% These are the words that you might find on food labels 40:50.633 --> 40:54.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that are counted as added sugars. 40:54.166 --> 40:55.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And some of them will surprise you. 40:55.866 --> 40:59.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You all know white sugar's chemical name is sucrose, 40:59.966 --> 41:01.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and that, of course, is sugar. 41:02.066 --> 41:04.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Dextrose is a little more of a chemical name, 41:04.966 --> 41:07.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% you might see anhydrous dextrose. 41:07.866 --> 41:09.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% A lot of people tell you brown sugar 41:09.900 --> 41:12.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is better than white sugar, I wish that were true. 41:12.433 --> 41:14.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Confectioner's powdered sugar is just sugar. 41:14.900 --> 41:18.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Corn syrup and corn syrup solids, sugar. 41:18.400 --> 41:20.666 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Fructose, sorry, it's sugar. 41:20.766 --> 41:23.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% High-fructose corn syrup, sorry, it's sugar. 41:24.033 --> 41:26.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% One thing that surprises people: 41:26.633 --> 41:29.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% from a chemical standpoint, the amount 41:29.300 --> 41:32.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of sucrose and fructose, the chemical makeup 41:32.900 --> 41:35.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% of high-fructose corn syrup is very similar 41:35.900 --> 41:37.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% to that of sucrose. 41:37.500 --> 41:41.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It's really hard to say that it has much of a difference 41:41.166 --> 41:43.100 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in its effect on the body. 41:44.266 --> 41:45.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Honey. 41:45.700 --> 41:49.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% To heart, I wish honey was off the hook, but it's not. 41:50.733 --> 41:53.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Its effect on the body is very similar to sugar. 41:53.766 --> 41:56.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Invert sugar, lactose, which is the sugar 41:56.766 --> 41:58.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that's naturally occurring in milk, 41:58.600 --> 42:01.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% malt syrup, maltose, maple syrup, 42:01.466 --> 42:04.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% molasses even is a form of added sugar. 42:04.566 --> 42:06.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You can't even get off the hook with that. 42:06.766 --> 42:09.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% One of the things you'll see on many of the products that's 42:09.266 --> 42:13.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% marketed as better for you than foods that are sweetened 42:13.433 --> 42:16.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% with sugar are sweetened with a concentrate that's 42:16.366 --> 42:20.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% extracted from a very sweet fruit like pears or pineapple. 42:20.666 --> 42:23.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% That's considered added sugar. 42:24.566 --> 42:26.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And then pancake syrup. 42:26.433 --> 42:28.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And one of the banes to my existence: 42:28.533 --> 42:31.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% the food products that, 42:31.833 --> 42:36.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% if I had a good lawyer and unlimited resources, I would try 42:36.200 --> 42:39.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to get them to stop calling sugar "cane juice," 42:40.033 --> 42:43.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because all sugar starts out as cane juice. 42:43.933 --> 42:47.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And finding the words "cane juice" on a food label, 42:47.633 --> 42:49.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% you can go right back up to the thing 42:49.700 --> 42:51.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that's on the top of this list. 42:51.500 --> 42:54.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It's equivalent, it's the same chemical. 42:56.533 --> 43:00.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The sources: look at that big white, 43:00.600 --> 43:02.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% almost half of the circle on the right. 43:03.066 --> 43:06.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Remember those teenage boys I talked to you about? 43:07.400 --> 43:09.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Beverages. 43:09.100 --> 43:11.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Please read the labels. 43:11.366 --> 43:15.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Don't be fooled by names like "energy boost." 43:16.333 --> 43:20.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Many of them are sweetened with one of these. 43:24.366 --> 43:27.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% So, soft drinks, fruit drinks. 43:27.166 --> 43:29.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Many people add sugar to their coffee. 43:29.433 --> 43:31.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I add sugar to my tea sometimes. 43:31.366 --> 43:34.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Alcoholic beverages not so much for most people. 43:34.366 --> 43:35.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% But sports and energy drinks, 43:35.866 --> 43:37.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% as I mentioned, are not off the hook. 43:37.866 --> 43:40.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then of course you're probably not surprised 43:40.233 --> 43:43.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% by the gray semi-circle over there about 10 o'clock: 43:43.533 --> 43:45.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% snacks and sweets. 43:45.433 --> 43:47.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I happen to be a chocoholic. 43:47.433 --> 43:48.866 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I can attest to the fact that 43:48.966 --> 43:52.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that's a big source of added sugars. 43:54.266 --> 43:56.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now another thing that we're recommended 43:56.233 --> 43:58.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to eat less of is saturated fats. 43:58.733 --> 44:01.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It has to do a lot with heart disease rates 44:01.566 --> 44:03.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and the different types of cholesterol 44:03.900 --> 44:06.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and how they're transported in your body. 44:06.433 --> 44:10.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Notice the sources of the saturated fats in our diet. 44:10.733 --> 44:14.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If it weren't for pizza and burgers, we'd actually not 44:14.800 --> 44:17.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% have to talk so much about saturated fats. 44:17.633 --> 44:21.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Dairy, if you consume the cream portion of the milk, 44:21.666 --> 44:24.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that's where you would get a lot of saturated fat. 44:24.166 --> 44:28.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Protein foods, I think Bassam mentioned a steak 44:28.366 --> 44:30.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% earlier on, and if you have a barbeque, 44:30.766 --> 44:32.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% now you get to not only feel guilty 44:33.033 --> 44:35.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% about all the water that went into that beast but also 44:35.533 --> 44:37.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% all the saturated fat that's in a good, 44:37.533 --> 44:39.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% well-marbled piece of meat. 44:39.666 --> 44:42.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So the easy rule for that one is to favor meats that 44:42.400 --> 44:44.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% require a lot of cooking to soften them up, 44:44.600 --> 44:46.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% because those are usually not that well-marbled 44:46.466 --> 44:49.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and don't have so much fat in the muscle. 44:49.766 --> 44:52.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Snacks and sweets are there again 44:52.366 --> 44:54.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% as a big source of saturated fat. 44:54.866 --> 44:58.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you look, a lot of them have coconut oil or might even 44:59.066 --> 45:02.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% have a vegetable oil of sorts, not just animal fats. 45:02.500 --> 45:05.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But there are a few vegetable fats, like coconut oil 45:05.933 --> 45:08.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and palm and, palm kernel oil, 45:08.900 --> 45:11.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that are also high in saturated fats. 45:13.766 --> 45:17.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Remember what I told you about where, what kind of store 45:18.066 --> 45:20.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% you go to or what kind of restaurant you go to? 45:20.533 --> 45:22.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Again, if you buy your food more from the store 45:23.000 --> 45:25.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% than from a restaurant or sit-down restaurant, 45:25.566 --> 45:27.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% you're more likely to be buying foods 45:27.866 --> 45:30.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that are a little lower on the saturated fat intake. 45:30.866 --> 45:33.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Still, a little bit over the limit that's recommended, 45:33.533 --> 45:36.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but a lot closer to that dividing line. 45:37.333 --> 45:40.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Now I want to get to an issue that goes back 45:40.866 --> 45:43.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% to what Dr. Shakhashiri said. 45:43.400 --> 45:47.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This is almost word-for-word out of the Dietary Guidelines 45:47.500 --> 45:49.800 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Advisory Committee's report. 45:49.900 --> 45:52.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And I want to show you something that was in the news 45:52.366 --> 45:54.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% today and has been in the news on and off 45:54.733 --> 45:56.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% the last few weeks. 45:57.700 --> 46:00.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, 46:00.433 --> 46:02.266 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% not government people, 46:02.366 --> 46:04.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% not people who work for the food industry, 46:05.000 --> 46:08.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but people who work in public health, clinical settings, 46:08.266 --> 46:10.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and university researchers. 46:10.700 --> 46:13.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The major findings regarding sustainable diets 46:14.033 --> 46:16.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% was that a diet higher in plant-based foods, 46:16.333 --> 46:18.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, 46:18.666 --> 46:21.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% nuts and seeds, and lower in calories 46:21.366 --> 46:24.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and animal-based foods is more health-promoting 46:24.400 --> 46:28.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and is associated with less environmental intake 46:28.333 --> 46:30.833 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% than is the current U.S. diet. 46:30.933 --> 46:35.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% While they might've, this is like, buried on page 42 46:35.600 --> 46:37.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in a whole list of recommendations, 46:37.466 --> 46:39.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% but don't think that people 46:39.400 --> 46:43.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% who make that lower-ends food list 46:43.333 --> 46:44.833 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% didn't take notice, 46:44.933 --> 46:49.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and immediately send their lobbyists to cCongress. 46:49.300 --> 46:53.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And in fact, there have now been laws proposed 46:53.333 --> 46:56.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to direct the Secretary of Agriculture 46:56.633 --> 47:00.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% - and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, 47:00.266 --> 47:03.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to tell the Dietary Guidelines Committee, 47:03.933 --> 47:06.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% the next one, to cut that out. 47:06.433 --> 47:09.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They're not to consider sustainability 47:09.133 --> 47:11.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in their recommendations. 47:11.500 --> 47:15.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And to tell the secretaries 47:15.700 --> 47:18.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that when their people work on the official guidance 47:18.233 --> 47:20.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% for the public and policy makers, et cetera, 47:20.733 --> 47:23.866 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that they are only to consider, 47:23.966 --> 47:27.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% each recommendation has a category 47:27.700 --> 47:30.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% next to it about how strong the evidence is. 47:30.566 --> 47:32.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% There's weak evidence, there's moderate evidence, 47:32.600 --> 47:34.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and there's the strongest evidence. 47:34.600 --> 47:38.733 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Well, it happens that some of these recommendations 47:38.833 --> 47:41.800 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% about eating less meat for the health reasons 47:41.900 --> 47:44.866 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% are in the moderate evidence category, 47:44.966 --> 47:47.333 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% so they said, "Tell them they can only 47:47.433 --> 47:50.166 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% "consider the strongest category." 47:50.266 --> 47:54.033 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% That way, they can't tell the public to eat less meat. 47:54.133 --> 47:59.700 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% I'm not a vegetarian. I eat meat, I enjoy meat, 47:59.800 --> 48:04.200 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% I think if you're a vegetarian, that's also terrific. 48:04.300 --> 48:07.000 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% You can have a healthy eating pattern either way. 48:07.100 --> 48:08.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% But, come on. 48:08.666 --> 48:11.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Most Americans, if they ate less red meat 48:11.500 --> 48:14.300 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and less processed meat would overall 48:14.400 --> 48:16.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% have a healthier eating pattern, 48:16.666 --> 48:20.666 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and sending your lobbyist to Congress, enough said. 48:20.766 --> 48:22.566 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% (laughter) 48:24.900 --> 48:26.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Here's another hot button. 48:27.033 --> 48:29.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee says that 48:29.933 --> 48:33.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% most of us aren't eating as much seafood as we should get 48:33.533 --> 48:35.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% to get our Omega 3 fatty acids 48:35.333 --> 48:36.766 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and some other health benefits. 48:36.866 --> 48:40.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% It's a very highly nutritious protein source. 48:40.700 --> 48:43.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% However, there's been overfishing 48:43.900 --> 48:46.200 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in the last couple of decades. 48:46.300 --> 48:49.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So the sustainability of fish in the food supply 48:49.800 --> 48:52.466 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is becoming an issue in many areas. 48:52.566 --> 48:54.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You're probably noticing that there's more and more fish 48:54.733 --> 48:58.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that you've never heard of at the fish counter 48:58.700 --> 49:01.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% at the grocery store and some of that 49:01.100 --> 49:03.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% is because they have to go to deeper waters 49:03.500 --> 49:06.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and market fish that people considered inedible 49:06.366 --> 49:09.166 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% maybe a couple decades ago. 49:10.366 --> 49:12.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Concerns have been raised about the safety, 49:12.866 --> 49:16.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% mercury, for pregnant women and nursing mothers, 49:16.900 --> 49:19.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and the nutrient content of farm-raised 49:19.200 --> 49:20.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% versus wild-caught seafood. 49:21.066 --> 49:22.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% If you get wild-caught salmon, 49:23.066 --> 49:25.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% it's almost always a nice dark pink. 49:25.366 --> 49:27.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% That color comes from the carotenoids that are 49:27.600 --> 49:31.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in the natural diet of the seafood-eating stuff 49:31.700 --> 49:35.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that salmon eat up in the Alaskan waters. 49:35.666 --> 49:38.633 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% If the salmon is farm-raised, 49:38.733 --> 49:43.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% the fish eat what the fish farm feeds them. 49:43.233 --> 49:45.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And it may or may not be high in these carotenoids. 49:45.866 --> 49:48.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Carotenoids are a plant form of vitamin A. 49:49.933 --> 49:53.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So how we can rely on fish as a source of vitamin A 49:53.633 --> 49:55.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and even omega 3 fatty acids depends 49:55.933 --> 49:57.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% on how those fish were fed. 49:57.833 --> 50:00.233 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If they're fed from the oceans up in Alaska, 50:00.333 --> 50:02.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% we kinda know, 50:02.100 --> 50:05.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% but if it's from a farm-raised fish, not so much. 50:06.933 --> 50:10.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So the bottom line is to supply enough seafood to support 50:10.300 --> 50:13.600 align:left position:10%,start line:77% size:80% meeting our dietary recommendations, both farm-raised 50:13.700 --> 50:17.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and wild-caught seafood will be needed in our food supply. 50:17.900 --> 50:22.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And that policymakers should take that into consideration. 50:25.100 --> 50:29.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So the Dietary Guidelines Committee ended with some 50:29.900 --> 50:34.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% overall advice about how to take all of this stuff I've 50:34.733 --> 50:37.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% been talking about and a lot of stuff I haven't even gotten 50:37.133 --> 50:39.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% to and make that into a to-do list. 50:40.033 --> 50:42.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They didn't call it a to-do list, I am. 50:42.366 --> 50:46.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The first thing they're saying is to know and understand 50:46.166 --> 50:49.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% how to modify your diet and physical activity. 50:49.366 --> 50:52.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% A lot of people I talk to think they know. 50:52.533 --> 50:56.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But when I quiz them, "Okay, why do you need to do that?" 50:59.333 --> 51:03.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "I think I read it in the New York Times." 51:03.666 --> 51:06.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% They can't explain the biological reason 51:06.700 --> 51:08.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that it's a good thing to do. 51:08.800 --> 51:12.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And don't think that food manufacturers and supplement 51:12.933 --> 51:16.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% sales people and beverage manufacturers aren't taking 51:16.733 --> 51:19.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% advantage of that, because they are. 51:19.200 --> 51:22.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And if I hear the word "antioxidant" one more time, 51:22.600 --> 51:24.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% I'm going to scream. 51:24.433 --> 51:27.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "I need to eat this, it's high in antioxidants." 51:27.600 --> 51:30.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Bassam can tell you, oxygen is good for you, 51:30.300 --> 51:32.033 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% too much oxygen is bad for you. 51:32.133 --> 51:34.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Depends on how you get it, where you get, where it goes 51:34.533 --> 51:36.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% in your body, what's going on in your body. 51:36.733 --> 51:40.700 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I have an inflammation processes happen. 51:41.900 --> 51:45.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I could talk to you about arthritis and how sometimes 51:45.166 --> 51:47.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% too much oxidation, 51:47.433 --> 51:49.733 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% antioxidants are not a good thing, 51:49.833 --> 51:51.700 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% but we won't go there right now. 51:51.800 --> 51:54.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Just, I'm just saying, try to understand the dietary 51:54.933 --> 51:58.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% recommendations, where they come from, and ask yourself 51:58.666 --> 52:02.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% that same question I had in my second or third slide, 52:02.733 --> 52:04.333 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% "Who says?" 52:04.433 --> 52:08.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And do they have something financial or personal 52:08.133 --> 52:12.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% gain at stake if I believe what they're telling me? 52:13.633 --> 52:17.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If they are, find a source to verify it. 52:17.900 --> 52:21.866 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I used to say, when I was with UW-Extension, "Come to me!" 52:21.966 --> 52:24.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Because nobody pays me for the advice I give out. 52:24.600 --> 52:27.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% I mean, I got a paycheck, but it was to give out 52:27.133 --> 52:30.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% non-biased advice as much as I could humanly do. 52:32.066 --> 52:34.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% The second one: know your current dietary pattern, 52:34.900 --> 52:38.033 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% including your healthy choices that can be maintained. 52:38.133 --> 52:42.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% If you're already eating lots of fruits and vegetables, 52:42.900 --> 52:44.300 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% keep doing that. 52:44.400 --> 52:47.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% As well as areas that you could work on changing. 52:47.933 --> 52:50.833 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And areas that you're willing to work on changing. 52:50.933 --> 52:53.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You might not want to tackle all those 52:53.266 --> 52:55.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% things I mentioned at once. 52:55.333 --> 52:58.000 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And then the third bullet: act on it. 52:58.100 --> 53:00.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Don't say, "Oh yeah, that's good to do. 53:00.533 --> 53:02.766 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% "I'll do that someday," do it now. 53:02.866 --> 53:06.066 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Seek to make gradual and sustainable changes 53:06.166 --> 53:07.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% in your dietary behaviors. 53:08.033 --> 53:09.400 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Make a plan. 53:09.500 --> 53:12.266 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Figure out something you can do to make your diet better. 53:12.366 --> 53:15.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% And what each one of you can do will be different 53:15.433 --> 53:17.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% from the person sitting next to you. 53:17.666 --> 53:21.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Both because of what your physical needs are 53:21.700 --> 53:25.500 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and what your personal resources are. 53:25.600 --> 53:29.400 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% So this is my challenge to you: the Dietary Guidelines, 53:29.500 --> 53:32.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% USDA's MyPlate food guidance system, 53:32.300 --> 53:34.200 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% they summarize what scientists tell you 53:34.300 --> 53:36.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% about what and how to eat. 53:36.166 --> 53:37.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% You are the one who has to decide how 53:38.000 --> 53:39.466 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% to put that into action. 53:39.566 --> 53:41.000 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% You have to find a way that 53:41.100 --> 53:43.533 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% fits your personal life situation. 53:43.633 --> 53:46.633 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Do you have little kids at home that are watching how you 53:46.733 --> 53:49.366 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% eat as an example of how they should eat? 53:49.466 --> 53:51.533 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Your values and belief systems. 53:51.633 --> 53:55.833 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% Do you, are you really, just like so much into animal 53:55.933 --> 53:58.700 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% welfare that you couldn't possibly think of eating honey 53:58.800 --> 54:02.700 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% because it comes from bees that should be wild and free? 54:02.800 --> 54:07.900 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% I know lots of vegetarians that won't eat honey, 54:08.000 --> 54:10.066 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% let alone wear leather shoes. 54:11.633 --> 54:14.533 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% And with that sermonette, 54:14.633 --> 54:18.133 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% I will stop and pause and ask for questions. 54:18.233 --> 54:19.833 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% - Thank you very much. 54:19.933 --> 54:21.266 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% - You're welcome. 54:21.366 --> 54:23.733 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% [applause]
