- What You Need to Know About Multivitamin and Mineral Supplements, FNCE 2006
September 17, 2006 (Conference Session)
The purpose of this session was two-fold: 1) to provide information on the state-of-the-science on the associations between use of multivitamin and mineral supplements with chronic disease risk in adults. In addition, to review the findings of a systematic evidence-based review commissioned by NIH on this topic, and the implications for dietetic practice; and 2) provide findings from recent nationwide (NHANES) population-based surveys of total dietary intakes of children and adolescents, including dietary supplement use; and to summarize implications for dietitians in the planning and assessment of dietary intakes.

- Dietary Supplement Use in the USA: Who's Using What and Why
October 24, 2005 (Conference Session)
Dietary supplement use is so pervasive in the United States today that it is becoming impossible to obtain estimates of total nutrient intakes without accounting for them. This session at the 2005 American Dietetic Association's Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo presented current data on, why people use dietary supplements, how to collect and assess information about them, and some authoritative resources that dietitians can use.
