INN conduct study of iodine in pregnant Andean areas

For the first time in Latin America

A specialist team from the National Institute of Nutrition held for the first time in Latin America, a study in pregnant women in the Andean region of the country to meet their nutritional status, particularly micronutrient iodine. The intention is to obtain precise data to provide information and / or promote a healthy diet in this population group that requires significant care.

Luis Caballero, public health physician Research Directorate of the INN, said that previous studies in the area by the institute in conjunction with the Ministry of Popular Power for Health , focus only on school population in western Venezuela. However, "we must keep in mind that pregnant women are a very particular because it attempts to satisfy a need through the salt, but during pregnancy, usually reduces the intake of this spice by the mother, which could be affecting the supply of mineral, hence the importance of encouraging a study of this kind, "said the specialist.

According to Caballero, iodine deficiency during pregnancy affects the neurological development of children and is the main cause of delay physical and mental child.

While not intended to create expectations hasty conclusions about the results of the technical team INN states that promote a healthy and varied, to provide nutritious alternatives obtain the micronutrient, may solve potential deficiencies.

In one case, until now unlikely that the study found high rates of iodine deficiency, the National Institute of Nutrition would be able to develop solutions such as those applied in other countries world, such as supplementation, ie, supplied through the iodine drops or tablets so that the mother can take it daily in appropriate amounts.

recall that in the country since the sixties, the fortification was implemented salt, to which was added iodine to what people consume daily, and so ensure the intake of this nutrient.

The study was conducted in pregnant population not affect standard measures of the fortification of salt, it is a practical and effective in Venezuela and the world for health and development all population groups.

Ada Delgado, a nutritionist in the area of \u200b\u200bpopulation research INN, explained that before beginning the study "per se" will be held in late April, a pilot in Merida for tuning the instrument to be applied, a survey, which measures the frequency of micronutrient consumption, socioeconomic status, anthropometry, among others.

After correcting the last detail, the technical team headquarters INN, work with the support of the regional units of nutrition in the Andean states, Tachira, Merida and Trujillo for the full study .

The results will stimulate other countries to fight against iodine deficiency in the population. Latin America is one of the world's most advanced regions in this area, it supports international organizations that highlight the successes achieved, "we believe that conducting this research, not only support the health of pregnant women Venezuelan but somehow lead to the health of pregnant women in Latin America, encouraged by the interest and experience that can be applied following the results that have "stressed Luis Caballero.

Son 11 Years Excessive Thirst

Comparison butter and margarine

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When he did was actually killed; the people who had put money into the research wanted regain so began to think of a way to go. had a white substance was not no food appeal so they added the yellow to sell to people instead of butter. How about that? ... They have come out some new flavors to sell more suckered us.

Do you know the difference between margarine and butter?


Read to the end
that is quite interesting.

Comparison butter and margarine:

- Both have the same amount of calories.
- Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats
: 8 grams , compared to 5 grams for margarine.
- eat margarine instead of butter may increase by 53%
the risk of coronary heart disease in women, according to a recent medical study
of Harvard University.
- Eating butter increases the absorption of many nutrients that
found in other foods.
- Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine

has only those they are added to make it.
- Butter tastes much better than margarine and
enhance the flavors of other foods.
- Butter has been for centuries where margarine has less than 100 years
.

Now on margarine. Very high in trans fatty acids. (Yes, those
now scientists recently discovered that they are very bad and governments began to ban
).

Triple risk of coronary heart disease: Increases total cholesterol and
LDL (bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL (good cholesterol).
increases by five times the risk of cancer. Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing ( HERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING !):
- Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE from being PLASTIC ....!!

This fact alone is sufficient to prevent the use of margarine for life and
anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added,

which change the molecular structure of substances).
You can try this: buy a tub of margarine and leave
your garage or shaded area. Within a few days notice two things:
- No flies, not even those pesky go near it (this
should tell you something).
- does not rot or smell differently because it has nutritional value
nothing grows in it. Even the tiny organisms can grow
it. Why? Because it is nearly plastic!
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on toast?
