Dietary supplementation is growing in popularity. While most Americans take at least one dietary supplement, many people are confused by the regulation, safety, and efficacy of the supplements that they consume. Dr. D’Adamo will clarify these issues and present the latest research on specific dietary supplements that are effective as well as those that may be best to avoid. Learn about popular dietary supplements that are being taken for a wide variety of health conditions — ranging from arthritis, to immune system enhancement, to depression — and become a more informed consumer when choosing supplements.

Investing in superfoods: Sustainable Solution or Passing Fad?Shaun Paul
Presentation on the emerging trends of superfoods in health and wellness consumer product foods with considerations for building sustainable international agricultural supply chains using the examples of coffee and chia.
Here we examine public health in Metro Atlanta, including issues of food security, access to healthy foods, life expectancies, obesity, and smoking. Public health issues are often associated with income level, and we find that counties with higher median household incomes tend to have higher life expectancies. Obesity is also associated with income at the county level, as counties with higher median household incomes tend to have higher percentages of obese adults.
Infographic: Through Rose-Colored Glasses: How Americans See Our HealthFood Insight
Almost 6 in 10 Americans rate themselves as either in very good or excellent health, but over half of the Americans who rated themselves as either in very good or excellent health are overweight or obese. What's more, many people who are currently being treated for
chronic diseases still perceive their health as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’. So, are Americans failing to see the reality of their health?
An exploration into diets around the worldIpsos UK
Ipsos MORI asked consumers across 28 countries what their current diet is, and the length of time they have been making these dietary choices. We found that the omnivorous diet is the most common diet globally (73%). We also looked at the period of time people have followed their current diet, and found that the majority of omnivores have followed the diet for more than two years, whereas vegetarianism is often a new diet.
In the UK, we found some small demographic differences in diet preferences. For example, females are more likely to follow a vegetarian diet compared to males. We also found that the older population are more likely to be omnivorous, whereas the younger population are more likely to follow a meat free diet.
The report is focused around the UK market, however, we have also included some of the more interesting global data. Regional variations include North Americans being significantly more likely to follow an omnivorous diet (82%), Latin Americans being significantly more likely to follow a flexitarian diet (21%), and Middle East Africans being significantly more likely to be pescatarian (5%) compared to other regions.
