Human Milk Oligosaccharides support immune protection through the early life microbiome
HMOs shape the establishing early life gut microbiota and supposedly help the development of appropriate immune competence. This is particular evident in situations of an early life dysbiotic microbiota such as seen upon C-section birth. This brochure highlights clinical observational and interventional trials in infants with special focus on effects of HMOs on microbiota outcomes.

Narrowing the Protein Deficit Gap in Critically Ill Patients Using a Very High Protein Enteral Formula
Protein deficits in critically ill patients have been associated with longer ICU stays and increased mortality in patients at nutrition risk. Current clinical view suggests that if protein goals are met, meeting full energy targets may be less important. Use of an isocaloric, higher protein enteral nutrition (EN) formula may provide patients with adequate protein, without overfeeding energy in the first week of critical illness.

Should hypocaloric hyperproteic nutrition become the standard of care in critically ill paitent?
Protein deficits in critically ill patients have been associated with longer ICU stays and increased mortality in patients at mnutrition risk. Current clinical view suggests that if protein goals are met, meeting full energy targets may be less important. Use of an isocaloric, higher protein enteral nutrition (EN) formula may provide patients with adequate protein, without overfeeding energy in the first week of critical illness.

NNI News for Midwives - Issue 1
It has long been known that there‘s a link between nutrition, development and infant health. Early childhood clearly sets the parameters for health well into adulthood. This brochure approaches the importance of nutrition in the first 1,000 days, from conception to the end of the second year of life, including the crucial role of breastmilk and human milk oligosaccharides. Also brings significant findings of the latest research cow’s milk allergy prevention and management.

NNIW93 - Global Landscape of Nutrition Challenges in Children
Malnutrition among children remains a persistent problem around the world. The latest UNICEF data reports that nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 years of age can be attributed to undernutrition. Poor linear growth, or stunting, affects over 150 million children around the world.

Annales 76.3 Allergic or Pseudo-Allergic Gastrointestinal Disorders
Annales Nestlé 76.3
The incidence of inflammatory GI disorders, such as eosinophil GI diseases, and allergic disorders, including food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) & food protein-induced allergic proctitis (FPIAP); as well as complex functional disorders, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is steadily increasing without any clear explanation.

The Nest 44: Pro-, Pre-, and Synbiotics: Myths and Facts
The Nest 44
Gut microbiota, including probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics, is a hot topics of discussion in the clinical practice. It is well established today that not all probiotics and/or prebiotics are equal. Probiotics health benefits are strain specific and in the case of Human Milk Oligosaccharide (HMOs) and prebiotics, functions are dependent on their structural composition.

Nutrition and Growth Yearbook 2018
Assessing the adequacy of growth in a child is in the DNA of all health professionals involved in pediatric care. The fulfill of children’s nutritional requirements is indispensable in order to achieve optimal growth, thereby allowing them to have an optimal nutritional status.

A Narrative Review of Childhood Picky Eating and Its Relationship to Food Intakes, Nutritional Status, and Growth
Picky eating, which is also referred to as fussy eating, selective eating, faddy eating, and choosy eating, is a complex behavior that broadly refers to a combination of traits. As children start complementary feeding and become exposed to an increasingly diversified diet, many begin to exhibit “picky eating” behaviors. The main characteristic of children perceived as picky eaters is their tendency to avoid certain foods or food groups. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of published studies that have examined whether picky eating in childhood is in fact associated with measurable differences in food and/or nutrient intakes and growth.

The Economic Impact of Lower Protein Infant Formula for the Children of Overweight and Obese Mothers
The global prevalence of obesity is rising rapidly, highlighting the importance of understanding risk factors related to the condition. Childhood obesity, which has itself become increasingly prevalent, is an important predictor of adulthood obesity.

Low-Protein Formula Slows Weight Gain in Infants of Overweight Mothers
Rapid growth, in particular rapid weight gain in infancy, is associated with later overweight and obesity. Although causality is not established in this association, it is nevertheless conceivable that by slowing down rapid weight gain in infancy, a reduction of the risk of later obesity may be achieved.

Total Usual Nutrient Intakes of US Children (Under 48 Months): Findings from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2016
Given the very specific nutritional needs from birth to 24 months of age to support rapid growth and development, understanding current trends in dietary intakes is critical to best tailor dietary advice for infants and children and to support dietary guidelines update. The Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) is a large-scale cross-sectional survey designed to explore eating patterns, nutrient intakes, and food sources of nutrients in infants and children. In this article you will be able to get more details about the estimation of total usual dietary intakes for energy and most nutrients among infants and children < 4 years old, incorporating nutrient exposures from all sources in the FITS 2016.

Prevalence and Severity of Food Allergies Among US Adults
Food allergy is a costly, potentially life-threatening health condition that can adversely affect patients’ well-being. The few population-based studies to date that examined adult food allergy have focused on a limited number of specific allergens (eg. peanut) or allergen groups (eg. tree nut, seafood) or have been secondary analyses of federal health surveys, which were not designed to comprehensively characterize food allergy prevalence and severity among US adults. This study aimed to provide comprehensive, nationally representative estimates of the distribution, severity, and factors associated with adult food allergy in the United States.
