Starting the Day Right: Defining a
Complete, Nutritious Breakfast – At Last!
Speakers: Sylvia Melendez Klinger, MS, RD, LDN, Hispanic Food
Communications, Inc.; Judith Rodriguez, PhD, RD, FADA, Department
of Nutrition and Dietetics, University of North Florida,

for the Future, Inc.
Moderator: Dayle Haynes, MD, RD, Nutrition for the Future, Inc.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend
that people “eat a nutrient-dense breakfast” based on the
evidence supporting the role of breakfast in healthy eating
patterns. There is no science-based definition for a nutritious
“breakfast.” Join a discussion by nutrition experts that probes
what constitutes a complete, nutritious breakfast. They share
their considerations and seek input in developing a definition
that improves the quality of breakfast meals and public
health. Speakers will also share new resources to help define
and translate a complete, nutritious breakfast for consum
ers,
including special populations and unique venues such as
schools.

Exploring Fiber in Food and Supplements: A Virtual Grocery Store Tour
Speaker: Wendy Dahl, PhD, RD, FDC, University of Florida
Moderator: Beth Hartell, MS, Peartree Nutrition Communications,
LLC
Foods with added fiber have expanded in the marketplace
in response to consumer demand for more high fiber foods.
Many consumers see fiber as the answer, not only to gastroin
testinal
wellness, but also for cholesterol and glycemic control
in hopes of mitigating their chronic diseases. Nutrition educators,
however, may struggle with what to recommend regard
ing
foods with added fiber. Do foods with added fiber provide
the same health benefits as dietary fiber in whole grains,
fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans? This session explores the
many fibers added to common foods through a highly interac
tive
virtual grocery store tour.

Wheat, Gluten and Health: The Science Behind Gut Health and Food Intolerances
Speakers: Julie Miller Jones, PhD, CNS, LN, St. Catherine University
Moderator: Judi Adams, MS, RD, Wheat Foods Council
Food allergies and sensitivities are increasingly on the public’s
mind. Gluten-free has become what fat-free was in the
early 1990s. Are the public’s concerns about wheat and gluten
warranted? What does science tell us about the incidence
and prevalence of gluten allergies and sensitivities, and how
do they relate to Celiac Disease? This session discusses the
epidemiology, physiology and dietary approaches for gluten
sensitivity, gluten allergy and Celiac Disease.
Session funded by
the Wheat Foods Council.

Bee Marks Communications Symposium: Taking Communication of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines from Good to Great
Speakers: John Courtney, PhD, American Society for Nutrition;
Chavanne Hanson, MPH, RD, LD, Nestle US; Robert Post, PhD,
MEd, MSc, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, US Department
of Agriculture; Jan Villarante, Kaiser Permanente
The Bee Marks Symposium and its speakers/presenters
have been made possible by a fund established by Ketchum
and supported by SNEB members and donors to honor nutrition
communications pioneer, Bee Marks, to advance nutrition
marketing communications knowledge and best-practices
that bring evidence-based nutrition science to the public in
educational and motivational ways. Bee was open to diverse
opinions and perspectives. She worked across sectors (i.e. industry,
academic, etc.), and with SNEB and SNEB Foundation
to bring these diverse perspectives together for productive
conversation and planning.
While the Dietary Guidelines continue to outline sciencebased,
gold standard health habits, few Americans follow
them consistently. How do we change this trend with the
2015 Dietary Guidelines? How can nutrition educators apply
new strategies of communications and leverage partnerships
that span the field in a way that has a profound impact on be
havior
change and actual adoption with the new Guidelines?
This session will include an expert panel to discuss this topic,
provide their point of view from their unique perspective
from their area of the field, and lead the audience in a dynamic
discussion on how SNEB and its members can take their
communication of the new Guidelines from Good to Great.
SNEB Foundation wishes to thank public relations leader
and pioneer, Bee Marks, for her career achievements in
advancing the importance and practices of evidence-based
nutrition marketing and communications.
