Do you know the chemical names or structures of caffeine: 1, 3, 7 trimethylPURINE, 2,6 dione? I have been educating patients for years about the function of foods and their ingredients and caffeine is always one of the nutrients on my radar.

The question comes up several times.

"Tab, are you telling me I better quit coffee?'"

The answer is complex and, quite frankly, depends on many factors. The main philosophy to communicate to the community is my role as a registered dietitian and my core beliefs:
1) I do not believe in "quitting" in anything. I learned that at an early age (Thanks ). The goal is success in everything we do. If the process works, then keep it going. If the protocol falls short, then find ways to improve.

2) It does not work to tell anyone over the age of 12 or 13 what they "better not do" and think the advice is to cause them to make healthy choices for life.

3) As executive health educators, dietitians strive for patient autonomy. When a patient is dealing with gout, kidney stones, osteoporosis, high uric acid levels, and/or blood pressure issues, I believe it helps to educate them on the role nutrients play in the body. This is the epitome of holistic wellness — evidence-based, science-based informed decisions in food consumption.

Renal Artery Stenosis is another side-effect of chronic smoking. If you read this article, can you share with me how managing smoking cessation is related to dietetics? Share your thoughts in the comments. Thanks :-)

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to your kidneys. RAS can lead to chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.

Wow! This is the first time I can recall the USDA issuing a public health alert based on the nutrient content of a food item.

Way to go, USDA - Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) !

The sodium nitrate content in uncooked pork/beef bacon exceeds the daily regulated limit! Well, Masters In Dietetics patients have never included these products in the meat group, so it should not be a big switch for you.

Here is the link to the FSIS public health alert:

The .gov means it’s official. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you’re on a federal government site.

Numerous studies have found fruit and vegetable intake to be linked to emotional health. One study published in Frontiers in Nutrition found 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day to be linked to lower levels of stress related to worries, tension, and lack of joy. Another study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics reported increases in subjective happiness scores when vegetable intake was increased.
Aim for a minimum of 5 servings of vegetables daily (1 serving = 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw).

If you were wondering about the health of your poo... please check out this Bristol chart created by at .

If you were wondering, I would say I talk about bowel movements with other people on a daily basis. Unless you are in the medical field... having that conversation with other people that frequently may indicate the need to talk to a professional (e.g. a gastroenterologist) so that the fruits of the talk will get things moving in the right direction...(I couldn't help that one).
Well, just another insight inside the daily skills we dietitians. Dietitians - helping people where they are and where we "can".
