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。

MATCH (Motivating Adolescents with Technology to CHOOSE Health) is an online, interdisciplinary wellness program targeted at improving adolescent nutrition that teachers can easily incorporate into existing curricula. The shift from childhood to adolescence is characterized by rapid increases in autonomy of nutritional intake. Given that dietary habits established in adolescence often persist into adulthood, effective nutrition education programs during this period are of particular relevance. Although there are a vast number of existing nutrition education programs aimed at adolescents, we explain why MATCH and similar programs should be expanded across the United States to improve adolescent health outcomes including obesity prevention.

Issues of scientific misinformation/disinformation, fake news, credibility of sources, and, generally, communicating in a time of social incivility, uncertainty, and declining public trust have been much discussed recently in the literature. Challenges around science communication are numerous and seemingly pervasive. Lately, those charged with reporting science around food, nutrition, and health have grappled with a larger and growing challenge—the increasing polarization of society, both in the United States and globally. In its latest Trust Barometer, Edelman, the New York–based public relations and marketing consultancy firm, detailed various effects of polarization on public trust of science and other societal institutions. In this article, the authors discuss health and nutrition science communication in the context of audience polarization. They build on their previously articulated guidance for communicators in addressing the added challenges to effective messaging in a politically and culturally polarized information environment.
