Childhood obesity is one among the primary priority programs of World Health Organization and is the most serious public health challenge of the twenty first century. The problem is global and is steadily affecting many low and middle income countries, particularly in the urban settings. An alarming rate of increase is seen with an estimated 22 million children under the age of five years being overweight throughout the world and is further expected to rise 1 . Obesity and overweight have increased more dramatically in economically developed countries and in urbanized populations 2 . Obesity is high among the affluent class in India and children develop obesity even at the age of six. Alarmingly many obese 13 or 14 year olds face the risk of cardiac disorders too3.

The glycemic concept and the Glycemic Index (GI) are being used globally as a mark of product differentiation. The Australian market has been exposed to the GI concept for the longest time. The GI concept in Australia has gained impetus due to the continuous and concerted efforts of the GI Symbol Program that is backed by the University of Sydney, Diabetes Australia and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The program provides a trusted signpost that the products have been tested properly for their GI. The consumers and health professionals are well informed about the concept and there are a wide range of low GI products with the GI symbol in supermarkets in Australia.References

Vitamin A deficiency is a common micronutrient deficiency which affects people worldwide.Vitamin A Deficiency Diseases (VADD) is a comprehensive term covering all aspects of vitamin A deficiency and its adverse effects on health, survival and vision. Nutritional deficiencies, even mild have adverse effects on health and well being and are of great public health importance. Dietary inadequacies, socio economic, cultural factors and parasitic infections constitute the risk factors for VADD.- Prevalence Pattern and Management of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) defined as carbohydrate intolerance with first time recognition or onset during pregnancy has become the most common endocrinological disorder complicating pregnancy. Screening, diagnosis, management and care in both antenatal and postnatal period of women poses a challenge and necessitates universal screening for glucose intolerance in pregnancy. An exponential increase in the rate of gestational diabetes mellitus is seen which has escalated from 4 to 6 per cent in the early 90's to 16 to 20 per cent of all pregnancies. Indian women have the highest frequency of GDM among the ethnic groups in South Asian countries and also have eleven fold increased risk of developing glucose intolerance during pregnancy compared to Caucasian women.References

Trading healthy traditional diets for modern energy dense and fatty foods is common today and is directly related to the etiology of many lifestyle diseases. The World Health Organisation estimates that 60 per cent of the world's cardiac patients will be Indians by 2010. Prevalence of cardiac diseases is on the rise and is at an alarming rate in the Indian subcontinent. In the past five decades, the rates of coronary heart disease among urban populations have risen from 4 per cent to 11 per cent1. Diet, lifestyle factors and stress are the cardinal factors in the aetio-pathogenesis of coronary heart disease2. While many women apparently sti do not know it, heart disease is the number one killer of women. The control of risk factors can prevent or delay the onset of heart disease even in women with strong family history. In those who already have heart disease, control of risk factor can delay or even halt the progression of the disease and strongly improve outcomes3. Lifestyle approaches are cornerstone in prevention of diseases in the women, emerging data suggest that many have sub clinical cardiovascular disease that might benefit from more intensive prevention therapy.- Nutrient Composition, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties of Green Seaweeds

Seaweeds are nature's most complete and balanced nutrient food source. They belong to a group of plants known as algae. Seaweeds are classified as Rhodophyta (red algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae) or Chlorophyta (green algae) depending on their nutrient and chemical composition. Like other plants seaweeds contain various Inorganic and organic substances which can benefit human health. The nutrient content of seaweeds greatly exceeds those found in other food sources and the nutrients are in organic form that humans can readily utilize. The nutrients in seaweeds have a higher bioavailability than those in most of land foods and when used in recipes, they can increase the ability to absorb the nutrients in the dish with other ingredients. Seaweeds are considered as a source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activities.- Book Review

Among all the basic needs of life, food is the one that is mostly ruled by senses. The complexity of our senses decide the acceptability and popularity of food. The book on nutrition and sensation gives a broad outlook on the inter-relationship of the senses to accept a food and thereby nutrition. In the opening chapter the author traces the history of senses to the ancient works of Galen who laid down the relationship between health and diet. The chapter helps the reader to understand the discovery of Umami with scientific updates and the author concludes that taste is not only a biological function but is one which undergoes changes constantly. The second chapter on chemosensory disorders explores the anatomy of smell and discusses about aetiologies of chemosensory disorders and the treatment advised for the chemosensory dysfunction.- Technologies in Food Processing

Food availability and food security in the future is going to be of great concern. The gradual decrease of farm lands, resources and manpower will affect the way in which food will be available to populations. One solution for food security is minimizing post harvest losses and maximizing processing so that growing demands can be sustainably met throughout. This makes us realize that food processing techniques are extremely important to maintain quality and safe food.In this context the book on “Technologies in Food Processing” addresses the important aspects regarding different technologies in food processing.- Eating Disorders in Special Population
