The practice paper Oral Health and Nutrition has been published on the Academy's website for Academy members
This practice paper supports the Academy's position paper on oral health and nutrition published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in May 2013.
It is the position of the Academy that nutrition is an integral component of oral health.
and nutritional factors that may affect a person's oral health. Health-care professionals should address the importance of food choices to help ensure optimal oral health by explaining how oral health status can affect their food intake.
The multifaceted interactions between diet nutrition and oral health in practice education and research in both dietetics and dentistry merit collaborative efforts to ensure comprehensive care for patients and clients according to the practice paper's authors.
The practice paper encourages food and nutrition practitioners to educate their patients and clients on important aspects of nutritional health that lead to oral health:
â#¢Consuming fresh fruits vegetables and dairy foods such as milk cheese and yogurt without added sugar helps reduce an individual's risk of cavities. â#¢Consuming fewer foods

This study should help to measure the socioeconomic public health and environmental impacts of livestock and poultry worldwide.
The evaluation of multiple socioeconomic environmental and public health around the livestock sector requires accurate accessible and comprehensive spatial data on the distribution and abundance of livestock.
Also of concern are the public health implications of livestock intensification. The widespread use of antibiotics in livestock for preventive or curative purposes or as growth promoters directly contributes to the increasing prevalence of resistant strains of bacteria to antibiotics both at local and global levels.
Those conversions can in turn diminish the health of natural ecosystems and their ability to provide an array of valuable services such as clean air

In the same way that humans have developed immune responses against human disease pathogens crops can be bred for resistance against disease pathogens
This then activates immune responses to stop the pathogen and so protect the plant from infection. The second line of defense is referred to as effector-triggered immunity (ETI) this is based on the detection of disease pathogens by the plant's genes--there is a relationship between the gene in the host plant and the gene in the pathogen.
To explore this possibility Hassan is collaborating with a researcher from University of Iowa's School of dentistry to apply for funding from the National institutes of health.

Based on the national experience with alcohol and tobacco it seems prudent from a public health perspective to open up the marijuana market slowly with tight controls to test the waters
Of course perspectives other than public health objectives might motivate policymakers to adopt different or fewer regulations. These are learned simply lessons from a public health perspective.
