The Khursheed Jeejeebhoy Plenary Lecture CHAIR: Dr. Katherine Gray-Donald, PhD
Clinical Nutrition And Evidence-Based Health Care: Challenges And Opportunities
Dr. Leonard John Hoffer MD, PhD, FRCP(C)
The integrity of clinical nutrition depends on a proper application of the principles of evidence-based health care. Unfortunately, these principles are often misunderstood, and their incorporation into clinical practice is often flawed. This presentation will describe the challenges and opportunities unique to the application of evidence-based clinical research and practice to the field of clinical nutrition. Speaker: Dr. Leonard John Hoffer, MD, PhD, FRCP(C) McGill University, Montreal, QC
Thursday, May 24 | 9:00 am – 10:15 am

Thursday, May 24 | 9:00 am – 10:15 am
CONCURRENT SESSION: NUTRIGENOMICS AND DIETARY FATTY ACIDS CHAIR:
Dr. David Mutch, PhD University of Guelph Guelph, ON Fatty acids have garnered considerable interest because of their contributions to several lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes. Fatty acids are obtained from both endogenous lipogenesis as well as from the diet, and they play important roles in structural, hormonal, and signaling pathways throughout the body. Analysis of the fatty acid composition of Western diets has revealed an increase in saturated and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and a relative decrease in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. These changes in our diet are thought to directly contribute to the current obesity epidemic. Hence nutrigenomics (i.e. the study of diet-gene interactions) is well poised to generate novel insight regarding the effects of dietary fatty acids on cell / tissue function. The goal of this symposium is to highlight basic and clinical nutrigenomic research in which the underlying genetic and/or molecular mechanisms linking fatty acids and obesity-related complications are explored.

CONCURRENT SESSION: DEVELOPMENTAL ORIGINS OF HEALTH AND DISEASE CHAIRS:
Dr. Angela Devlin, PhD University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC
Dr. Sukhinder Cheema, PhD Memorial University St. John’s, NF
Developmental Programming suggests that prenatal and early postnatal exposure to shifts in environmental factors may play a role in the development of chronic disease later in life. For example, in utero exposure to variations in maternal nutritional status or stress may ‘program’ an individual’s response to nutritional components and stress, respectively, in childhood and thereby contribute to risk for chronic disease in later life. The focus of this symposium is to present current research and issues highlighting cutting edge research on the role of maternal nutrition and other conditions such as maternal depression on the health of the offspring in later life. SPEAKERS: • Maternal Dietary Fats in the Health of the Next Generation Dr. Sukhinder Cheema, PhD Memorial University, St. John’s, NL • Developmental Origins of Health and Disease: The Role of Methyl Metabolism Dr. Robert Bertolo, PhD Memorial University, St. John’s, NL • Long-term Effects of Gestational Exposure to Maternal Depression Dr. Tim Oberlander, MD Univ. of British Columbia/Child and Family Research Centre, Vancouver, BC

CONCURRENT SESSION: IMPLICATIONS OF BODY COMPOSITION ON HEALTH CHAIRS:
Dr. Carla Prado, MD National Institute of Health Bethesda, MD
Dr. Sylvia Santosa, PhD, RD (CDO) Concordia University Montreal, QC
Body composition (i.e. the amounts of fat and fat-free tissues in the body) is fundamental for the assessment of the nutritional status. Measures of body composition can identify vulnerable individuals to under- or overnutrition, and/or to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions. The advent of new in vivo technologies that accurately and precisely assess body composition have considerably enhanced our ability to identify different states of nutritional imbalance and its prognostic significance (such as independent associations with morbidity and mortality). Abnormal body composition phenotypes such as muscle wasting (sarcopenia), excess adipose tissue (obesity), its location (visceral, subcutaneous or intramuscular) and type (white vs. brown) as well as the confluence of sarcopenia and obesity (sarcopenic obesity) have been associated with metabolic and functional impairments in several disease and non-disease states. SPEAKERS: • Osteo-sarcopenic Obesity: The Role of Bone, Muscle and Fat on Health Dr. Carla Prado, PhD Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL • Apples and Pears: Why Are We Shaped the Way We Are? Dr. Sylvia Santosa, PhD, RD (CDO) Concordia University, Montreal, QC • Can We Change an Apple to a Pear? What Do We Know About Ethnicity and Interventions?

Breakfast starts at 7:00 am ~
Dr. Loretta DiFrancesco, PhD, RD, MBA Source Nutrition Toronto, ON
Presentation begins promptly at 7:45 am
Breakfast is a simple step towards a healthy lifestyle. Believed by many to be the most important meal of the day, the literature reports many associated health benefits with eating breakfast, including its contribution to nutrient intakes. However, Canadian –specific data are scarce. The rationale for this program is to highlight current gaps in nutrients necessary for good health in the diet of Canadians and how breakfast can help to provide these nutrients.

CONCURRENT SESSION: HEALTH CLAIMS RELATED TO THE CONTROL OF POST-PRANDIAL GLYCEMIA: WEIGHING THE OPTIONS CHAIRS:
Dr. Alfred Aziz, PhD Health Canada Ottawa, ON
Dr. Harvey Anderson, PhD University of Toronto Toronto, ON
There is increased interest among the food industry, certain health professional organizations, academics, and consumers to provide some type of information about the glycemic effect of foods on the food label. It is currently proposed that this could be achieved through the voluntary inclusion of experimentally-derived values, such as the glycemic index (GI), or through explicit claims on the effect of foods or food ingredients on postprandial glucose concentrations. The purpose of this symposium is to present and discuss the different approaches to this type of health claims that were adopted or are being considered by regulatory jurisdictions, including Health Canada. SPEAKERS: • Health Claims Related to the Control of Post-Prandial Glycemia: Health Canada’s Perspective Dr. Alfred Aziz, PhD Health Canada, Ottawa, ON • Scientific Evaluation of Health Claims on Post-Prandial Glucose Responses: The European Experience Dr. Silvia Valtuena Martinez, MD, PhD European Food Safety Authority, Parma, Italy • Regulatory Approach in Australia and New Zealand to Glycaemic Index Claims On Foods Ms Jane Allen, MPHN, CD Food Standards Australia New Zealand

CONCURRENT SESSION: Claude Roy Symposium UPDATE ON THE IMMUNOBIOLOGY OF CELIAC DISEASE: IMPLICATIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT CHAIR:
Dr. Leah Gramlich, MD, FRCP(C) University of Alberta Edmonton, AB Like all other autoimmune diseases, the incidence of celiac disease has increased considerably. It is the only one where the trigger (gluten) for the inflammatory reaction is known. Thus, it is an ideal condition to tease out the respective roles of the microbiome, the barrier function defect and the cascade of immune responses. SPEAKERS: • Advances in Immunobiology of Celiac Disease Dr. Valerie Abadie University of Chicago, Chicago, IL • Non Dietary Therapy for Gluten Intolerance Dr. Elena Verdu, MD, PhD McMaster University, Hamilton, ON
Friday, May 25 | 10:45 am – 12:00 pm
CONCURRENT SESSION: NUTRITION LABELLING AND EATING BEHAVIOUR CHAIR:
Dr. Sylvie St-Pierre, PhD Health Canada Ottawa, ON Over the past half century, diet-related health problems in Canada have risen dramatically. The regulation of nutrition information for labelling and advertising of foods is one important public health intervention designed to enable consumers to make appropriate food choices associated with a reduced risk of developing chronic diseases, and enabling better dietary management. Regulations came into force on January 1, 2003 making nutrition labelling mandatory on most food labels. Since this time, food consumed away from home has become a large and ever-growing part of consumers’ diets which has led some stakeholders to lobby for nutrition information at the point of purchase, in restaurants and other food services, which current labelling regulations do not include. While the evidence to date indicates that nutrition information provided on food labels is used by consumers, the effectiveness of the nutrition information has to be demonstrated before expanding the policy to other environments. In addition to examining the impact of the provision of nutrition labelling on Canadians’ eating habits and behaviours, regulation issues such as the lack of consistency in service sizes used on food labels will be reviewed. SPEAKERS: • Is Food Labelling Influencing Consumer’s Choices and Intake? Dr. Véronique Provencher, RD, PhD Université Laval, Quebec, QC
