Dairy Council of California launches ‘The Healthy Eating Table’
The scientific review series translates, amplifies and bridges the latest evidence in nutrition and dairy science.
Dairy Council of California, a quasi-state government nutrition education organization committed to elevating the health and wellness of children and families, announced the official launch of “The Healthy Eating Table.” The annual scientific review series was developed to distill the latest research in nutrition and dairy science and increase the knowledge of health professionals, bringing them “to the table” to make educating about healthy eating patterns easier. The inaugural issue focuses on the important role of dairy foods in plant-based sustainable eating patterns, the Sacramento, Calif.-based organization said.
“We developed The Healthy Eating Table to empower health professionals and educators, arming them with the latest research to ensure the most vulnerable populations — children and families in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities — receive the best nutritional guidance science can point to,” said Ashley Rosales, director of nutrition science at Dairy Council of California and co-author of the review series. “By embracing the latest research and ensuring nutrition guidance is evidence-based, health professionals can feel empowered to advocate for the health of the people who live in their communities.”
