This document discusses the dangers of pesticide exposure and provides tips for reducing exposure through diet. It notes that pesticides are designed to harm living things and that exposure during critical periods of development can permanently alter biology. Several sources cite the importance of minimizing pesticide exposure through eating organic foods. The document encourages consumers to shop at local markets, ask about organic options, and contact government agencies about pesticide regulations. Overall it promotes choosing organic food to protect health and future generations from pesticide risks.
The Text4baby Program is a free mobile messaging service that provides pregnant women and new mothers with health information via text message. An evaluation of the program found that subscribers were more likely to search for prenatal care information online, have positive beliefs about smoking and alcohol, and consume more fruits and vegetables daily compared to non-subscribers. However, more rigorous randomized controlled trials are still needed to further evaluate the program's ability to change health behaviors and improve outcomes. Empirically-tested behavioral theory provides support for mHealth interventions like Text4baby, but new programs need to be grounded in theory and develop validated metrics to build an evidence base.
This presentation was delivered to a group from Kansas Farm Bureau in Wichita KS, October 14, 2016. The main theme is how do ag producers communicate what they do using a values-based approach. How can we better discuss farming science and technology, including the seeds used in growing cattle feed and human food products.
1. Australians are increasingly focused on consuming antioxidants for health benefits and simple home cooking with few ingredients.
2. There is a trend towards feeling positive and rediscovering quality over cheaper prices.
3. Sustainability remains an important trend, as does reducing meat consumption but still enjoying meat flavors, and increasing fiber intake.

The role of informal food markets—Towards professionalizing, not criminalizingILRI
The document summarizes a training, certification, and branding scheme piloted in Kenya to professionalize informal food markets and improve food safety. The scheme provided hygiene training and certification to informal milk traders, giving them branded containers and uniforms. Over 15% of traders registered by 2009, changing hygienic practices. The scheme had economic and policy impacts, though follow-up is still needed. A theory of change explains how such interventions could improve diets and food safety through safer animal products sold by certified informal traders.

The document describes a pilot program to professionalize informal food markets in developing countries through training, certification, and branding of informal vendors. The program aims to improve food safety and nutrition by reducing contamination in the informal value chain. Research shows informal markets play a major role in food security but often lack knowledge and regulation regarding hygienic practices. The program trained informal dairy traders in Kenya, providing certification upon completion and allowing them to be officially recognized through branding. Preliminary results found improved hygienic practices and an economic impact, though longer-term follow up is still needed to ensure sustainability. The theory of change explains how such an intervention could work to ultimately benefit consumers through safer, more available food products.

This document summarizes discussions from the National Pork Board Update meeting. It addresses several topics:
- PEDv is impacting farms of all sizes and needs to be prevented through biosecurity but is not a human health issue. Research priorities include diagnostics, understanding virus transmission and survivability. Over $3 million has been invested in PEDv research.
- Other disease threats need to be prepared for and response plans developed jointly between government, industry and producers. Borders need to be strengthened to prevent disease entry.
- Effective communication with consumers and customers about antibiotic use, food safety, and sustainability is important. The Pork Quality Assurance Plus program could influence purchase decisions when explained properly.

Jim McManus is the Director of Public Health for Hertfordshire. The document discusses strategies to address vaccine hesitancy for the COVID-19 vaccine. It defines vaccine hesitancy and outlines approaches for building confidence in the vaccine, including providing accurate information, acknowledging concerns, and promoting peer influence and role models. Barriers to vaccine uptake are addressed at both the organizational and individual level.
Nestle faced accusations over marketing infant formula in the Third World. Critics charged that aggressive marketing discouraged breastfeeding, contributing to malnutrition and death. While Nestle defended its practices, it ultimately adopted new policies in line with WHO recommendations, including limiting advertising and promoting breastfeeding. The case highlighted corporations' responsibilities in considering public health and cultural factors when operating globally.
This document discusses food safety and security. Food safety refers to food being free from harm, while food security means a community has enough healthy food. Unsafe food causes over 200 diseases and kills over 420,000 people annually. Children under 5 are particularly vulnerable, carrying 40% of the foodborne disease burden. Foodborne illnesses also impede social and economic development. Ensuring food safety and security requires collaboration between governments, producers, and consumers across supply chains. Policymakers can build infrastructure to manage risks, foster multi-sector collaboration, and integrate food safety into broader policies. Food handlers and consumers should safely handle, prepare, grow, and preserve foods.
The document discusses the pharmacy renaissance and the expanding role of pharmacists in healthcare delivery. It notes that pharmacists are highly accessible, work to improve patient health, and provide new services. Pharmacies are redefining their spaces to include health corners for education and private consultation rooms. Pharmacists are trusted professionals, and their expanded roles can help improve outcomes and lower costs. The pharmacy is well-positioned to increase access to primary care services and preventative care.

The presentation dicusses the current landscape and the tactics and strategies currently being undertaken in this critical public health area. It also shares insights from pharmacy programs in the Tdap, flu, and shingles categories.
Effective public health communication oldamitakashyap1
Effective public health communication is essential for informing and influencing individuals and communities about important health issues. The document discusses various aspects of public health communication including defining it, the need for effective communication, principles of effective communication, challenges, and approaches like social marketing. It provides details on formative research conducted to develop a nutrition strategy in Rajasthan which included understanding audiences, behaviors, barriers and enablers. The strategy developed communication objectives and a plan for different audiences using various channels and materials. Monitoring indicators were also identified to track outcomes. Such a thorough, evidence-based approach can enable replicable and sustainable public health communication programs.
Raw milk consumption has potential health risks and benefits that are still debated. While pasteurization was introduced to address sanitation issues, some claim raw milk can boost immunity. However, raw milk poses risks of transmitting diseases like tuberculosis, brucellosis, and E. coli from cows to humans. Supporters argue raw milk consumption may decrease allergies and build immunity to bacteria. However, many foodborne illness outbreaks have been linked to raw milk, prompting mandatory pasteurization laws. The health effects of raw milk remain unclear with arguments on both sides.
This webinar presented by Rose Marie Straeter discusses the benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers. It highlights how breastmilk is uniquely suited to human infants' nutritional and immunological needs. The presentation reviews evidence that breastfeeding protects against various illnesses and diseases while promoting infant health, growth and development. It also outlines maternal health advantages from reduced cancer risks to assistance with postpartum weight loss. Significant economic savings from lower healthcare costs for breastfed infants are noted. The presentation provides guidance on breastfeeding techniques and managing common concerns in the early days.

This document discusses the World Health Organization's International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes. It was developed to promote breastfeeding and ensure proper use of breastmilk substitutes. The Code aims to protect breastfeeding by restricting inappropriate marketing of substitutes. It outlines key marketing practices baby food companies should not engage in, such as giving free samples to mothers or gifts/subsidies to hospitals. The Code also specifies labeling requirements. Monitoring is done to evaluate compliance with the Code globally and protect breastfeeding from commercial interference. Controversies have occurred over aggressive marketing of substitutes in developing nations, such as the 1977 "Nestle boycott" protest.
2015 Case Competition on Cargill Hosted By Bain&Company Roy Wang
This presentation is a two-week project by our team of five in an effort to address the problem our client Cargill is facing in the year 2015. In particular, Cargill and its business partners are facing declining revenues due to the miscommunication about food products from conflicting sources such as social media. The question is how to eliminate such miscommunication and increase transparency for Cargill itself. Our team did a field survey at Whole Foods Market in downtown Chicago to pinpoint the most influential source on consumer behavior. As a solution, our team made two recommendations. First, educate doctors and NGOs on the quality of our product and food health in general through multiple channels. Second, partner up with an influential third party and create a seal with new, comprehensive standard to address the safety concerns from the consumer. In the end, we discussed some potential obstacles we will be facing during implementation.
Note: all information from this powerpoint is collected from the public domain. The analysis and recommendation made in the Powerpoint in no way represent Cargill or Bain's view on the matter.
This document discusses the history and current state of foodborne illness litigation in the United States. It notes that food production carries risks, and that health departments investigate outbreaks by tracing illnesses to contaminated foods. Strict product liability laws mean that manufacturers are liable if their food causes harm, regardless of precautions taken. Major outbreaks involving Jack in the Box and Odwalla in the 1990s increased litigation incentives. More recently, an outbreak linked to Peanut Corporation of America led to a federal indictment against company executives. The document argues that planning for food safety and building relationships with regulators can help companies avoid litigation risks.
The document discusses nutritional surveillance, which involves ongoing data collection, analysis, and reporting on nutrition-relevant data to help decision-makers ensure interventions are based on good information. It describes two types of nutritional surveillance - active and passive - and explains their objectives include describing population nutritional status, analyzing associated factors, and monitoring/evaluating nutrition programs. Key indicators used in nutritional monitoring are also outlined, such as food production patterns, anthropometric measures in children, and micronutrient deficiency rates. The roles of early warning systems and how their data can inform decision-making are also summarized.

Long-term no-till research can provide valuable insights into crop production over many seasons. This research found that no-till soils generally had higher yields than tilled soils over time. No-till soils had cooler temperatures, held more water after rain, and had different soil biological properties and nutrient stratification compared to tilled soils. The impacts of no-till and fertilizer nitrogen on soil organic carbon and crop yields changed over the 50 years of the study.

Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
3. FMD Working Group Goals
• Protect animal health & minimize disease
spread
• Ensure consumer confidence in meat & milk
safety
• Prevent supply disruption to customers
4. FMD Cross-Species Team: Activities
and Outcomes
• Create unified
FMD crisis
response plan
• Share FMD
messaging
• Form government
partnerships for
coordinated
response
6. Research Objectives
• For crisis preparation, need to better understand:
– Current awareness and knowledge levels regarding FMD
– Consumers’ understanding and acceptance of various FMD messages
(last assessed in 2007)
7. Research Objectives
•Specific areas the research addressed:
–Awareness of vaccinations of livestock
–Awareness and knowledge of FMD
–Top-of-mind concerns if there were an FMD outbreak
–New messaging receptivity in five categories:
– 1) Food Safety
– 2) Disease Impact and Management
– 3) FMD Containment
– 4) FMD Control
– 5) Vaccinations
8. Research Process
All participants ate meat or dairy products at least two times each month.
Mix of ages, sex, employment, education, ethnicity, income and geographic location.
9. The Research: Awareness
• Foot and Mouth Disease
– The vast majority (85%)
believe they have heard of
FMD
– Almost half (49%) believe
small children can contract
the disease
– Consumers are confused
about the difference
between FMD and HFMD
“I have heard of that disease. I
cannot think of anything
specifically I know about the
disease except that it is much
dreaded by the farmer.”
10. The Research: An Outbreak
• Consumers want to know:
– The location of the outbreak; type
of livestock involved
– Actions taken to contain the
outbreak
– The extent to which an FMD
vaccine is tested and approved
– What has been successful in other
countries
– What happens to infected animals
after being euthanized
“I would want to know more about
what steps were being taken to keep
it under control. I would very closely
monitor for more information, and I
would be sure to know my meat and
dairy source before buying.”
11. Shift in Consumer Behavior
• Today’s consumers are information seekers
– They turn to the Internet first
• There’s a delicate balance between just
enough information and overload
– It is important to provide enough accurate
information, but too much can frighten consumers
12. Messages: Containment
• Containment messages tested to be the most
reassuring and most likely to instill confidence
• Participants noted that “is not a public health
threat” was most important and liked that
“they showed collaboration”
13. Key Findings: Containment
13
Messages What Works What Doesn’t Work
Even though FMD is not a public
health threat, we must contain the
disease to protect the economic
viability of the beef, pork and dairy
industries and our country’s ability
to provide consumers worldwide
with an affordable and steady
supply of milk and meat.
• Relevant and believable
• “Is not a public health threat” is
important
• Shows concern for the economic
impact
• Can it be contained and how will
they contain it?
• Underlying interest in livestock
community’s loss of revenue
Working together, we can contain
FMD as quickly as possible.
• The livestock community has
employed a coordinated
communications plan to ensure a
streamlined flow of information
among state and federal agencies,
producers, processors, retailers
and consumers.
Relevant and compelling, talks to the
consumer, shows collaboration, gives
websites for more information
• Will communications plan be
effective?
• Message a bit long
14. Vaccinations: Awareness
• Routine vaccinations are not top-of-mind to
consumers; once they are prompted to think about it,
most assume it happens
• A majority (55%) believe this makes products safer to
consume or has no impact on safety
• Some expressed concern about the potential for it to
be passed to humans through consumption
“I don’t know if animals are currently being vaccinated. It would be fine
with me if they do this, as long as they test the vaccine and make sure
that it would not be harmful for humans.”
15. Vaccinations: Acceptance
• Vaccines for FMD:
– Some consumers would likely avoid consuming
milk and meat until they knew outbreak was
under control
– Consumers support vaccinations in the event of an
FMD outbreak
• Consumers are reassured by the messages
that were tested
16. Key Findings: Vaccinations
16
Messages What Works What Doesn’t Work
Countries where FMD is endemic
routinely vaccinate their
livestock and those animals are
safely used for meat and milk.
People around the world eat
millions of tons of meat from
animals that are vaccinated
against FMD.
• Believable, because provides
proof the vaccine is safe and
that people have not gotten
sick
• More information on countries
using vaccine, the vaccine
itself
Meat and milk from animals
vaccinated for FMD are safe to
consume.
• Compelling, it tells you it is
safe to consume
• Want research to support the
claim
17. The Results: Messages
Reassurance: The majority feels reassured by the different categories of messages.
The FMD containment messages are the most reassuring.
17
18. The Bottom Line
• In the event of an FMD outbreak, our
communications should:
– Assure consumers of food safety and what is
being done to contain the outbreak
– Be coordinated behind-the-scenes so government,
subject matter expert and industry messaging is
consistent
– Reference trusted and credible organizations and
sources & provide links to additional information
19. The Bottom Line
• Key components of messaging that resonates:
− Use direct, easy to understand verbiage
− Show proof for assertions - for example, scientific
documentation that vaccine is safe for animals
and consumers of meat and milk
− Integrate a human element
Who is the FMD cross-species team? It started with communicators and issues management specialists from NCBA, the National Pork Board, and Dairy Management Inc. In the past calendar year, our this core team has expanded its structure to include the American Sheep Institute, as well as bi-annual meetings or conference calls with an expanded group that includes operations and technical representatives from our organizations, as well as related groups such as USMEF, IDEC, NPPC, AASV, and AABP.
Our core communications group still manages and drives most activity . W e have established strong relationships with the technical experts in our organizations as well as members of USMEF, IDEC, NMPF, AASV, AABP, and more. The larger group collectively works toward these overarching goals in the event of an outbreak, including: Protect animal health & minimize disease spread Ensure consumer confidence in meat & milk safety Prevent supply disruption to customers
The reality check of the UK outbreak prompted the beef, pork and dairy industry groups to lead the charge in forming an FMD working group in 2001. Industry groups from all cloven-hoofed sectors were invited, with Beef, Dairy and Pork stepping forward as the primary drivers. The first meeting took place Sept. 12, 2001. The team’s focus is on creating a unified response plan and messaging to lay the foundation for a coordinated, consistent approach in the event of an outbreak. Over the past 11 years, the team has working closely with USDA, APHIS, USMEF and other government and industry groups to move forward FMD planning and message development. Forming close government ties has been essential to ensure the industry has a place at the table in the event of an outbreak.
In 2012, the FMD team made the development and testing of consumer messages a priority.
Qualitative phase: Quantitative phase: Additional qualitative phase: Two 90-minute online focus groups with seven consumers (three men and four women per group) Focused on vaccination issues and messages All participants: Eat meat or dairy products at least two times each month Mix of ages, sex, employment, education, ethnicity, income and geographic location
Analysis from FH Insights team
Messages were tested on containment of FMD in the event of an outbreak to protect the viability of the livestock industry. The messages included: The livestock community is working closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), veterinarians and local government officials to quickly contain the disease and minimize the impact on cattle, sheep and other cloven-hoofed animals. Even though FMD is not a public health threat, we must contain the disease to protect the economic viability of the beef, pork, lamb and dairy industries and our country’s ability to provide consumers worldwide with an affordable and steady supply of milk and meat. As soon as state and federal officials identified the high probability of an FMD case, actions, such as quarantines of affected herds and restrictions of livestock movement, would be put into place. Farmers and ranchers closely monitor their animals for any signs of illness, report suspicious or potential instances of disease, and keep track of visitors to their operation. Right now, they’re following additional precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. Working together, we can contain FMD as quickly as possible. The livestock community has employed a coordinated communications plan to ensure a streamlined flow of information among state and federal agencies, producers, processors, retailers and consumers.
The containment messages are most reassuring and most likely to instill confidence. The qualitative phase identified the most preferred messages concerning FMD Containment. These two messages focus on concern for the economic viability of the industry as well as having a coordinated communications plan.
Hear about the reasons for and the effectiveness of vaccinations Finding out about the testing process of vaccines for livestock conducted by government agencies
The vaccination messages also rank highly in terms of making consumers feel reassured and instilling confidence. Qualitatively, the most preferred messages focused on milk and meat from vaccinated animals being safe to consume.
