The Canadian Nutrition Society/Societe canadienne de nutrition (CNS-SCN) is the leading society integrating disciplines and professions interested in nutrition. We promote nutritionscience and education, and advocate for the application of best practice and policies for thepromotion of health and the prevention and treatment of disease in Canada and abroad.

The only walled city north of Mexico, is proud of a historyblending French and English influences – from the stonewalls that encircle the old city and the Citadelle keepingwatch over the St. Lawrence to the Martello towers and theParliament Building, where Quebec politics have been playedout for over a century. Along with the rich historical heritagerevealed in every single stone, the city is home to world-classcultural facilities. And for the shoppers – Old Quebec is hometo dozens of delightful boutiques and many of its streets havebecome ‘shopping musts’.

CONCURRENT SESSION: SUSCEPTIBILITY TO OVEREATING: IS IT POSSIBLE TO BETTER CHARACTERIZE AND PREVENT THIS BEHAVIOUR?CHAIR: Dr. Vicky Drapeau, PhD, Dt.P

Laval UniversityQuebec, QC

Susceptibility to overeating can play an important role in the etiology of obesity. This symposium will consider the role ofhomeostatic and hedonic processes in susceptibility to overeating, and strategies to manage this behavior among adults.More specifically, it will discuss whether susceptibility to overeating is mediated by variations in homeostatic processes, such as weak satiety responses or by hedonic processes, such as hyperresponsivity to the sensory properties of food. The biopsychobehavioural characteristics of this phenotype will also be reviewed in this symposium. Finally, behavioural and nutritional strategies that have the potential to influence both homeostatic and hedonic processes will be presented.

CONCURRENT SESSION: NUTRITION MISCONCEPTIONS – THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA AND THE RESEARCHER: SUGAR – A CASE STUDYCHAIR: Dr. Tristin Brisbois, PhD

Canadian Sugar InstituteToronto, ON

Nutrition is a complicated field, filled with misconceptions regarding what constitutes a “healthy” versus “unhealthy” diet.These misconceptions can be perpetuated in the media through the use of sensational headlines or if the results of scientificstudies are misreported or over-generalized. Often research is publicized without clarifying its relevance to practice, such aslimited translatability to the general population or small effect size. Sugars are an example of a controversial nutrition topicoften in the media spotlight. The media suggests that we are consuming too much sugar and this is harmful to our health. But how much are we actually consuming and how much is too much? This symposium will review available Canadian data on

sugar consumption and will explore the scientific findings regarding sugars’ effect on body weight and other health outcomes.Various issues in sugar-related research will be addressed and compared to media headlines to help critically evaluate nutrition-related media articles.

SPEAKERS:• Common Misconceptions About Sugars – Consumption and Dietary Goals

CONCURRENT SESSION: CANOLA OIL MULTI-CENTRE INTERVENTION TRIAL: STUDY OVERVIEW AND PRELIMINARY RESULTSCHAIRS: Dr. Peter Jones, PhD Dr. Benoit Lamarche, PhD

University of Manitoba Laval UniversityWinnipeg, MB Quebec, QC

Canola Oil Multicentre Intervention Trial (COMIT) was a multi-center randomized controlled cross-over study intended to investigate effects of five different kinds of dietary oils on cardiovascular health parameters in individuals with abdominal obesity. COMIT was undertaken at three clinical sites including Winnipeg, Quebec City, and State College, PA. Participantswere recruited based on meeting criteria for metabolic syndrome. Dietary oils that were investigated were (i) canola oil, higholeic canola oil, high oleic canola oil enriched with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), flax and safflower oil blended, and corn andsafflower oil blended with respective n-9:n-6:n-3 ratios of 6:2:1, 31:6:1, 6:1:1, 1:1:1 and 61:239:1. These dietary oil treatmentsenabled comparison of effects of n-3, n-6 and n-9 oils under a controlled full-feeding environment. Outcome measurements included endothelial function, blood lipids, fatty acid conversion studies and biomarkers of inflammation. Compliance wasevaluated by shifts in DHA levels in plasma. One hundred seventy volunteers were recruited with an overall dropout rate of23.5%. The number of participants who completed the study protocol was 130. Mean plasma DHA concentrations, whichwere analyzed in a subset of participants as a measure of compliance, increased by more than 100% in the DHA-enrichedphase, compared to other phases. In conclusion, the recruitment and retention strategies were effective in achieving sufficientnumber of participants who completed the study protocol to enable sufficient statistical power to resolve modest differencesin primary outcome and secondary endpoint measurements. It is expected that the study will generate considerable amount ofdata that enhance our understanding of the cardiovascular effects of n-3, n-6 and n-9 oils.

CONCURRENT SESSION: THE DOUBLE BURDEN OF MALNUTRITION IN LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES: EXAMPLES OF ACTIONCHAIR: Dr. Katherine Gray-Donald, PhD

McGill UniversityMontreal, QC

1 0

More than 800 million people around the world are undernourished while more than 1 billion adults are overweight and atleast 300 million of them are clinically obese. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the prevalence of child stunting asindicator of undernutrition is 24%; obesity rates have risen three-fold since 1980. In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence rateof child stunting remains above 35% in several countries while obesity and co-morbidities are rising particularly in cities. Arapid nutrition transition away from traditional food practices and lifestyles is in large part responsible for the double burden of malnutrition. Particularly in the MENA region, delocalization of resources and environmental degradation accompany the nutrition transition. An Ecohealth approach to human health focusing on both food and the environment has been applied inLebanon through the project Food and Health in Rural Lebanon: Options to Improve Dietary Diversity, Food Security, Liveli-hoods and Ecosystem Management. Studies in urban Benin and Burkina Faso (West Africa) have featured the double burdenof malnutrition at community, household and even individual level, with women and low-income groups being at higher risk. AUniversity of Montreal partnership project with academic institutions of Benin and other West-African countries, and focusingon the double burden of malnutrition, has been underway since 2008. The goal is to strengthen institutional capacity to tacklethe double burden of under-and overnutrition through academic training of public health nutritionists, action research, and sensitization of the population and decision-makers. We believe that such programs have potential for alleviating the escalatingproblems of inadequate nutrition, and that the experience deserves sharing with the Canadian nutrition community. This is thepurpose of this symposium on international nutrition.

BREAKFAST PLENARY:SPOTLIGHT ON VITAMIN D: IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND POLICYCHAIR: Dr. Angelo Tremblay, PhD


Vitamin D, the “sunshine” vitamin, is known to be essential for bone health throughoutthe life span. In the last decade vitamin D has also been associated with the prevention ortreatment of conditions including obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, depression or autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. However, only bone health was employed as an indicator of vitamin D adequacy in the recently revised Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) by the Institute of Medicine andHealth Canada since the evidence to link vitamin D with other than bone health was not deemed adequate in terms of causeand effect, or sufficiently informative regarding dose-response relationships to be used to derive DRI recommendations. A review of recent research will shed light on what is known about the current status of vitamin D in Canadians from infancy to the elderly including pregnant women. From this information we can address the questions of who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency, what are the causative factors, and how do we improve the vitamin D health of Canadians throughfoods and supplements.

Dr. Noreen Willows is Associate Professor of Community Nutrition at the University of Alberta and a Health Scholar with Alberta Innovates – Health Solutions. Her research focus is Aboriginal nutrition and health, which is a critical area consideringthe high prevalence of chronic disease in this population group. She takes a community-based, participatory approach to research, in which community members and researchers work together to find solutions to health problems. Dr. Willows’ career path has taken her from clinical and epidemiological research about infant childhood anemia and obesity, through community-based health assessment, and now to population intervention research to prevent obesity and type 2 diabetesmellitus at the community level. Her current research program is to address food security in the Aboriginal context. This bodyof research in Aboriginal communities has 1) advanced knowledge of the epidemiology and determinants of obesity in FirstNations communities, 2) engaged community leaders as participants in considering the implications of the research for thehealth of their communities, and 3) informed the research community about developing a participatory process for designingculturally-sensitive health promotion programs.

CONCURRENT SESSION: FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS AND COGNITIONCHAIR: Dr. Guylaine Ferland, PhD

University of MontrealMontreal, QC

Although vitamins K, D and the xanthophyll carotenoids were not historically discovered for their actions in brain function, theyare now known to contribute to cognitive health, especially during aging. Through its involvement in sphingolipid metabolismand activation of specific proteins present in brain, vitamin K has been shown to modulate cognition in old age. The carotenoidslutein and zeaxanthin function as both antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents and recent reports suggest that they couldoffer protection against cognitive impairments. Finally, there is data to suggest that vitamin D could contribute to cognitivehealth in old age through various neuroprotective mechanisms. This symposium will highlight recent studies investigating the effects of these fat-soluble vitamins on cognition and discuss their underlying actions.

CONCURRENT SESSION: METABOLICALLY HEALTHY OBESITY: FACT OR FICTION?CHAIR: Dr. David Mutch, PhD

University of GuelphGuelph, ON

Obesity is primary risk factor for a myriad of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension,and sleep apnea. However, it is now recognized that a significant proportion (20-30%) of the obese population may have a reduced risk for these downstream complications. Due to the favourable metabolic status of these individuals, this subset of the obese population is classified as being “metabolically healthy”. It is crucial to improve our understanding of metabolicallyhealthy obesity (MHO) as this may have widespread implications on both basic and clinical research, as well as health

1 5

management strategies. Only recently has the scientific community begun to examine the metabolic and genetic basis underlying MHO, and it remains unclear whether MHO individuals respond to lifestyle (diet and physical activity) and pharmaceutical interventions similar to their “at risk” obese counterparts. Therefore the goal of this symposium is to discuss the clinical relevance of MHO and highlight current research in the field.

CONCURRENT SESSION: NUTRITIONAL BIOMARKERS FOR HEALTH & CHRONIC DISEASECHAIR: Dr. Philip M. Sherman, MD, FRCPC

Scientific Director, CIHR, Inst. Nutrition, Metabolism & DiabetesToronto, ON

The Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development (BOND) program was initiated in 2009 by staff of the Eunice Kennedy ShriverNational Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Services, with support from a number of partners, and has three goals: 1) address the need for discovery, development, and implementation of reliable and valid biomarkers to assess nutrient exposure, status, function, and effect, 2)develop a process to harmonize the decision-making process about what biomarkers are best for use across the range of activities represented by the global food and nutrition enterprise, and 3) use information gathered to provide evidence-basedadvice. In Phase I of the BOND project, 6 nutrients (Iodine, Vitamin A, Iron, Folate, Vitamin B12 and Zinc), were selected basedon the range of issues each present to the community. For each nutrient an Expert Panel has been constituted and chargedwith the development of critical reviews to serve as the basis of materials to be used on the BOND interactive website includingthe “Query-Based System (QBS)” that is being designed to provide state of the art advice to users. An overview of the BONDprocess will be presented along with a brief discussion of lessons learned and new directions to support the biomarkeragenda. The symposium will also provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the Canadian Longitudinal Study onAging (CLSA) and the selection of nutritional biomarkers for the CLSA. The CLSA is a research platform or infrastructure thatwill enable state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary population-based research and evidenced-based decision-making to lead to betterhealth and quality of life for Canadians.

CONCURRENT SESSION: CURRENT TOPICS IN NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENTCHAIRS: Dr. Carla Prado, MD Dr. Linda McCargar, PhD, RD

The Florida State University University of AlbertaTallahassee, FL Edmonton, AB

Similar to any medical field, the science of nutritional assessment has evolved with the advent of new technology. We are now in an era where more sophisticated tools are needed for reliable measurement of physiological reserves and where anysuperficial and subjective assessments may neglect risk and status. As an example, evaluating weight change (primarilyweight loss) throughout the course of a clinical condition has been a paramount endpoint for the assessment of nutritionalstatus and is in fact useful when drastic changes are observed. Nonetheless, body weight (and hence body mass index, BMI)may not accurately depict specific shifts between lean versus fat tissue compartments and patients may therefore presentwith weight stability while gaining adipose tissue and losing muscle mass. This disparate behavior of muscle and adipose tissue reflect the variability of body composition in our contemporary population. Body composition (i.e. the amounts of fat andfat-free tissues in the body) is fundamental for the assessment of nutritional status. Indices of body composition are used inclinical settings to identify patients with chronic under or overnutrition, and to monitor long term changes in body compositionduring nutritional support. It is clear from emerging studies that body composition will be vital for treatment decisions, survivaloutcomes and quality of life of different groups.

This symposium will address recent advances in nutritional assessment research and practice, highlighting and comparingmilestones in the assessment of body composition and the recent findings related its prognostic effect in different (adult) clinical populations. Furthermore, we will discuss criteria used to identify states of nutrition imbalance (i.e. cutpoints to defineunder- and overnutrition) in research and clinical settings.

This session has been developed through the support of Technology Evaluation in the Elderly, an NCE dedicated to enhancingthe health of seniors. It will explore the unique relationship between diet and activity in seniors from the perspective of the impact of diet on physical function and the role of staying active to maintain musculoskeletal health in aging.

CONCURRENT SESSION: YOGURT AND DAIRY PRODUCT CONSUMPTION: IMPACT ON THE REGULATION OFOBESITY AND CARDIOMETABOLIC RISKCHAIR: Dr. Angelo Tremblay, PhD

University of LavalQuebec, QC

The proof of concept relating dairy consumption and the risk of obesity is now based on epidemiological data, standardizedlaboratory experiments and clinical trials. There are also mechanistic studies contributing to explain why some nutrients of

dairy food favor a negative energy balance and the maintenance of a healthy body weight. Recent studies further suggest thatfermented dairy products such as yogurt may help prevent weight gain and cardio-metabolic diseases. This symposium con-siders the biological and organoleptic properties of dairy-related nutrients as well as the profile of individuals being characterizedby a regular dairy consumption, and taking dietary patterns into account. This symposium is also relevant for the agrifood industry which is legitimate to envision the design of healthy dairy functional foods to contribute to obesity management.

CONCURRENT SESSION: INTEGRATION OF DIETARY GUIDANCE IN THE CANADIAN NUTRIENT FILE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMCHAIRS: Dr. Sylvie St-Pierre, PhD

Health CanadaOttawa, ON

The Canadian Nutrient File (CNF) is the Canadian standard reference food composition database. It is mainly used to analysethe composition of foods eaten by Canadians as reported in food consumption surveys done at the national or provincial levels. The classification within this database has recently been updated according to the 2007 Food Guide, “Eating Well withCanada’s Food Guide” (CNF/CFG classification) – See presentation: “The Classification of Foods in the Canadian NutrientFile (CNF) According to ‘Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide’ (EWGFG)”.

The main objective of this presentation is to show how the updated classification within the CNF can be used to analyse survey data. The assessment of the diets of Canadians was done using the Canadian Community Health Survey, cycle 2.2(CCHS 2.2). The number of Food Guide Servings coming from each food group is presented for the different age/sex groupsand is assessed against the recommended number of servings found on EWCFG.

In preparation for CCHS 2015, this presentation should help CNF users to better understand the application of this revisedsurveillance tool.
