The aim of this study was to investigate the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content found in fish oil supplements and formula milks for young children sold in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa's local markets and online stores. To allow comparison of fish oil supplements and formula milks, information about the EPA and DHA content was collected from the nutrition panel of each product. A total of 79 fish oil supplements and 70 formula milks were studied. Out of the 32 fish oil supplements in local markets 12 products (37.5%) and of the 47 fish oil supplements in Amazon online stores 12 products (25.5%) contained more EPA than DHA. The highest DHA:EPA ratio for fish oil supplements was 4.6. The percentage of Recommended Dietary Intake for DHA, based on 250 mg daily, ranged from 3.2% to 558% for the fish oil supplements, and the range of 0.4% to 25.2% was found for the formula milks. Fish oil supplements provided high daily dose of DHA, which was significantly higher than that provided by the formula milks.
本研究旨在调查在欧洲、中东和北非当地市场和网店销售的鱼油补充剂和幼儿配方奶中发现的二十碳五烯酸（EPA）和二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）含量。为了对鱼油补充剂和配方奶进行比较，我们从每种产品的营养面板上收集了有关 EPA 和 DHA 含量的信息。共研究了 79 种鱼油补充剂和 70 种配方奶。在本地市场的 32 种鱼油补充剂中，12 种产品（37.5%）的 EPA 含量高于 DHA；在亚马逊网店的 47 种鱼油补充剂中，12 种产品（25.5%）的 EPA 含量高于 DHA。鱼油补充剂中 DHA 与 EPA 的最高比例为 4.6。按每天 250 毫克计算，鱼油补充剂的 DHA 占膳食建议摄入量的百分比从 3.2% 到 558% 不等，配方奶的 DHA 占膳食建议摄入量的百分比从 0.4% 到 25.2% 不等。鱼油补充剂提供的 DHA 每日剂量较高，明显高于配方奶。

The spice ginger is prepared from the rhizome of Zingiber officinale (Rosc.) belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The unique aromas and flavors of the many cultivars make them suited for multiple food-related purposes. Besides being used in the preparation of pickles, candies, gingerbread, biscuits, soups, puddings, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks, ginger and its extracts are also packaged in dietary supplements. Ginger has been a part of traditional medicine for thousands of years treating such ailments as gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, pain, cold, and asthma. In the past 10 to 15 years, a considerable number of preclinical and clinical studies have explored in more detail the potential of ginger to ameliorate diverse conditions such as nausea and vomiting, glycemic dysfunction, pain, and the metabolic syndrome. This narrative review provides an update on the clinical evidence related to potential benefits of ginger and discusses future research opportunities.

Eating disorders are serious mental health disorders characterized by persistent disturbances in eating that impair physical health and/or psychosocial functioning. Widespread screening for eating disorders can help reduce disparities in diagnosis and may prevent the physical, psychological, and social consequences associated with delayed treatment. Evidence-based recommendations involve intervention by specialized mental healthcare providers; however, dietitians are pivotal in the prevention, identification, and treatment of eating disorders, leading to improved outcomes for the patient. Developing skills aimed at identification of disordered eating and basic treatment guidelines is of critical importance due to the ubiquity of these behaviors and symptoms.

It is hardly a secret that the health, nutrition, and other science communication environment has over the past few years become ever-more problematic. The authors of the present article have repeatedly documented the challenges posed to public understanding of science by the rise of social media and other internet communication “tools” and the diminishing influence of such media as journals, legacy news organizations, and other traditional conduits of scientific information. Various remedies have been proposed for facilitating greater public appreciation and comprehension of science. In the current article, the authors offer a bold, if not surprising, new proposal: initiate or broaden public exposure to the true nature of the scientific method/process. They suggest that health and science communicators not hold back in extolling the noisy and highly contentious process by which hypotheses are explored and eventually accepted or rejected. If communicators, they argue, convince audiences of the messy, even argumentative, way in which science actually evolves, it may be easier to encourage a greater open-mindedness toward previously unpopular, even uncomprehended, dreaded, or despised, scientific ideas. The issue is of paramount importance, especially now, as keeping the public focus on science, not individual scientists, is critical.

Dietitians are charged with implementing evidence-based practice, and in fields such as weight management, there are continually new emerging and conflicting approaches that have not been fully researched. Dietitians rely on their professional expertise and clinical judgment in determining how to use the best available evidence to address emerging issues in their daily practice.

This second article on food allergies focuses on food allergic reactions involving specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) mechanism within the immune system. An IgE-mediated food allergy diagnosis requires both the sensitization (positive test) and the clinical signs and symptoms consistent with IgE-mediated food allergy response. Having the confirmed diagnosis and management plan is crucial because the signs and symptoms appear rapidly after every ingestion of a food with the potential to progress in severity to a life-threatening situation, anaphylaxis. A clear understanding of what constitutes a food allergy, specifically an IgE-mediated food allergy, will facilitate clear communication among healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers, and those in the public.
关于食物过敏的第二篇文章重点介绍涉及免疫系统内特异性免疫球蛋白 E (IgE) 机制的食物过敏反应。IgE 介导的食物过敏诊断需要同时具备致敏（检测呈阳性）和与 IgE 介导的食物过敏反应相一致的临床症状和体征。确诊和管理计划至关重要，因为每次摄入食物后，症状和体征都会迅速出现，严重时可能发展为危及生命的过敏性休克。清楚地了解什么是食物过敏，特别是 IgE 介导的食物过敏，将有助于医护人员、患者和护理人员以及公众之间进行清晰的沟通。
