How do the food processors figure out the food products’ Nutrition Facts?

Ex. How do the food processors figure out how many calories (and so on) are in a granola bar?

What career opportunities are there in nutrition?

nutrition
trenchwatch asked:


I have just graduated with a bachelors degree in nutrition and food science. I did not plan on taking this any further. Now I am taking the year off to apply to medical school. Medicine is my passion, but my chances of acceptance do not look good, so I am looking into a masters in human nutrition, and going on to get a PhD. I figure that I’ll still be involved in healthcare, even if it is not my first choice. Besides teaching and research, do you know of any career opportunities in nutrition and food science with either a masters or PhD? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Where can I complain against false Nutrition Facts on food package?

nutrition
nitin g asked:


I have bought some commodities from Indian grocery shop in Bay area. It is really a bad experience seeing all the lies they put on Nutrition Facts label. They just put anything on any item, I usually buy after looking at the Nutrition facts, after coming home and some research I found what that put on package is just plain false.

I really want them to be punished for playing with consumers health by providing wrong information and there by breaking the law.
Just to clarify, I am in Sunnyvale, California USA.

Role of Consultant Pharmacy Employment

Consultant pharmacy practice focuses more on medication regimen review (i.e. “cognitive services”) than on actual dispensing of drugs. Consultant pharmacists most typically work in nursing homes, but are increasingly branching into other institutions and non-institutional settings. Traditionally consultant pharmacists were usually independent business owners, though many now find pharmacy employment for several large pharmacy management companies (primarily Omnicare, Kindred Healthcare and PharMerica). This trend may be gradually reversing as consultant pharmacists begin to work directly with patients, primarily because many elderly people are now taking numerous medications but continue to live outside of institutional settings. Some community pharmacies employ consultant pharmacists and/or provide consulting services.

Natural Cures for Acid Reflux

Acid reflux is one of the common problems that beset almost every person. Still then everyone who is a victim to this ailment finds it very difficult to handle this. There are natural acid reflux remedy solutions which can be very helpful in reducing the effect rather than taking the help of some external medication which is likely to cause side-effects. The first and foremost natural remedy is water. This can help in reducing the effect of acids in the body on the digestive system. By drinking water, you can help in maintaining the pH balance in the body because water helps in reducing the acidic content.

What University has the best nutrition program?

nutrition
KK asked:


I originally majored in Accounting (my school is known to have a good Business program) but decided to switch my major to nutrition. I’m still at the same university but the nutrition program isn’t very big. Is there a better school I should transfer to? I live in southern California (los angeles area). I heard that Cal State LA has a good program. Any other suggestions? Also, what do they have to offer?
to phoenixsmiles, what is NIH? Or can you tell me the link? Thanks.

R C asked:


I am type one diabetic and pregnant. It is vital that I know exactly how many carbs I consume.
