Oat-based dairyalternatives are expected to continue to gain ground in 2009. A major advantage soya and oat-based productshave is that they can be marketed on health claims. Many new functional foods are expected to launch in 2009,however, few are likely to have a long-term presence because of the high rate of product failures in this market.

The research that was introduced here last week also revealedthat two-thirds of respondents think that store brands are just as good as name brands, and only 39%agree that the best new products usually come from name brands.

Unlike vitamins and minerals, the use of which is fairly similar throughoutthe Member States, the other substances correspond to very varied consumption habits. Commissionbelieves that the Community legal instruments described in this report already constitute a sufficientlegislative framework for regulating this area and does not consider it opportune to lay down specificrules for substances other than vitamins or minerals for use in foodstuffs. However, since substancesother than vitamins or minerals, including substances derived from plants, are now being added toordinary foodstuffs and not only to food supplements, the Commission does not rule out the possibility,at a later state, of carrying out a supplementary analysis to this report, examining the conditions for theaddition of these substances to foodstuffs in general. pdf, 13 pages.

EAS advisor Manueal daSilva said the delay to the regulation that was due for finalisation by January 19 this year was notnecessarily a bad thing as there were crucial finer points that remained to be ironed out and it gaveindustry more time to make formulation, labelling and other adjustments, if necesssary..

Far from fruit snobbery, the plumis being ushered in after Cisneros and Dr. David Byrne, AgriLife Research plant breeder, judged morethan 100 varieties of plums, peaches and nectarines and found them to match or exceed the much-touted blueberries in antioxidants and phytonutrients associated with disease prevention. The duoacknowledge that blueberries remain a good nutritional choice.

Despite being the first such study, the results do compliment others in the literature. Animalstudies have reported that milk proteins, including both caseins and whey proteins, can reduce bloodpressure, with the effects being linked to angiotension converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides inthe proteins.

These are metabolised by the body into isothiocyanates, which are known to bepowerful anti-carcinogens.

Marketing Supplements, Healthy Food to WomenFocus on womens health will be one of the biggest trends in the food and dietary supplements markets,according to a 2008 report from Business Insight. The report revealed women, especially those over 50and post-menopausal, are a significant demographic and are likely the reason for the introduction ofproducts aimed at mature women. Sales have reflected this large and growing demographic as functionalfoods and drinks in the weight control and beauty category grew 81 percent and the report statedmarketing of dietary supplements is on the rise because of this. Currently, the biggest health concerns forwomen that dietary supplement companies are targeting are:

* Weight management: "Obesity plays a significant role in causing poor health in women, negativelyaffecting quality of life and shortening lifespan. More than 62 percent of adult women in the United Statesare overweight and 34 percent are obese (versus 30 percent of men),"

* Fatigue and exhaustion: As women age, the pineal gland decreases the amount of melatonin [anaturally-occurring hormone that regulates the circadian rhythm] it produces, which can also begin tocause sleep disturbances.

* Stress: The long-term effects of stress can include disorders of the brain and nervous system;cardiovascular disease; metabolic and hormone imbalances, including obesity, diabetes andhypertension; and increased susceptibility to infections and other diseases.

* Menopause and its associated discomforts: For many women, menopause brings with it an increasedrisk for chronic diseases.

* Iron deficiency and absorption: "Conservative estimates indicate that at least 700 million individualsworldwide have overt iron deficiency, affecting 20 to 50 percent of population,".

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has released its detailed review of the available scientificliterature that addresses possible health effects of beta-casein (particularly a milk protein called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM7)) and related peptides in milk and other foods. EFSA states:Based on this review, EFSA concluded that a cause and effect relationship is not established betweenthe dietary intake of BCM7, related peptides or their possible protein precursors and non-communicablediseases. Consequently, a formal EFSA risk assessment is not recommended.The most common proteins in cows milk are beta-casein A1 and beta-casein A2. Milk high in beta-casein

Educating Female Shoppers About Immunity &DetoxWith their increasingly demanding lifestyles,women today simply cant afford to get sick. Yet,seemingly unbeknownst to many women, poor diet,

stress, aging and environmental pollutants are afew of the many factors fighting against them,impairing their immune system and causinginflammation, one of the leading causes of poorhealth. Possibly of greater concern is that less thanhalf of women fully credit their immune system asbeing their bodys most important defense againstpreventing illness. Furthermore, being proactiveabout maintaining health in general is challengingfor many women, as one-third of them indicate their 24-hours-a-day, seven-day-a-week lifestyle ishaving a negative impact on their health. The immune system is the bodys first line of defense against

a whole range of diseases and conditions. A weakened immune system often is a precursor toinflammation. If the immune system remains in an impaired state for any period of time, inflammationcan become chronic, leading to a vast array of health conditions such as arthritis, cardiovasculardisease and even cancer. While more women are getting the message about the importance ofdetoxification in boosting immunity and thereby reducing inflammation, gaps still exist. More than three-quarters (82 percent) of women are aware of the term detoxification, up from about two-thirds (69percent) in 2002.

Fonterra says EFSA review backs up its stance that milk is safe (A1 vs A2 milk controversy)Fonterra says a European review on the safety of protein fragments in dairy produce and other foods is

in line with its own stance that different milks are safe to drink. The dairy giant said last night theEuropean Food Safety Authority (EFSA) review - which canvassed claims that milk containing A2 betacasein is less likely to cause health problems than the milk containing the A1 form of the casein -reinforces a need for health-related claims to be proven before they are bandied about. "The reviewshowed that different types of cow's milk are safe to drink and no one type of milk is safer thananother," said Fonterra's group director of technology Jeremy Hill. A1 milk is high in the protein beta-casein A1, which contains the peptide or protein fragment beta-casomophin-7 (BCM7), which somestudies have linked with diabetes, heart disease, autism and milk intolerance. "It's confusing andunsettling for consumers when unsubstantiated claims are made around a staple, nutritious productwhen they have little scientific basis," Dr Hill said.

Fonterra has another look at restructureFonterra is making progress with fresh plans for a capital restructure of the co-operative but the dairygiant is cautious about the timetable. In November 2007 Fonterra launched a capital restructureprocess that included the prospect of part of the business being listed on the NZX. However, the planwas stopped before the first vote when it became clear farmers would not support the board's preferredmodel, which included creating a listed asset-holding company. Chairman Henry van der Heyden saidthe board had to learn from what it got wrong. "So the next step on the capital structure of Fonterra willnot be the November [preferred] option - let's make that very, very clear," van der Heyden said.Read

AU puts pressure on US to can dairy subsidy planAustralian diplomats have been working hard in Washington in recent days trying to convince the newObama administration not to follow Europe's re-introduction of export subsidies for dairy producers.

Late last month the European Union Commission (EC) decided to pay dairy farmers a subsidy to helpprotect the local industry amidst a slump in global dairy prices. The move has been slammed by export-oriented nations like Australia and New Zealand as "protectionist" and not in the spirit of the ongoing

Coca-Cola Amatil did receive Lion Nathan offer but has declined it with conditionsCoca-Cola Amatil Limited (CCL) updated the market in regards to its proposed acquisition by LionNathan Limited (LNN). CCL said The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC), which owns a 30% stake in CCL,was in talks with Kirin, Lion Nathan's majority shareholder. On 7 November, CCL received anincomplete non-binding proposal from Lion Nathan.

CCL advised that TCCC subsequently presentedKirin with the list of conditions and discussions between the two companies were ongoing. CCL notedthat Kirin was a significant competitor to TCCC and CCL in the Aussie market. CCL said it wouldcontinue to monitor the situation and keep the market informed. CCL advised that based on yesterday'sclosing prices of $9.60 per CCL share and $8.19 per Lion Nathan share, the indicative proposal valuedthe target at a 4.1% premium to its share price. Target said it represented a multiple of around 10.5times its 2008 consensus EBITDA and 9.9 times its 2009 consensus EBITDA. Read

Aussies told 'eat less red meat, dairy'Australians should eat less red meat and dairy to help themselves and the environment, a leadingpublic health group says. Dietary guidelines recommend adults eat three to four serves of red meat aweek. They suggest adults consume between 1,000mg and 1,300mg of calcium per day, depending onage and gender, with a glass of milk, tub of yoghurt and two slices of cheese each providing about300mg. The National Health and Medical Research Council is currently reviewing Australia's dietaryguidelines. In its submission to the review, the Public Health Association of Australia has called for amore holistic approach to dietary guidelines, instead of just focusing on nutrients. The association'schief, Michael Moore, said on Monday the chronic disease risks of certain foods regardless of their

nutrient content, the environmental impact of food choices and access to inexpensive healthy foodsmust be considered. He said reducing consumption of red meat and dairy products would lower carbonemissions. "A small reduction in eating red meat and dairy would be a positive step for the environmentand generally a positive step for health," he said. "Reducing the amount of food that comes from cattlewould actually have a greater impact on the environment than sourcing (food) locally.". Read

Soy research has new source of fundingA new national body, Soybeans Australia, has been launched to promote and fund research anddevelopment of the legume. National research bodies GRDC, CSIRO and the NSW Department ofPrimary Industries have pulled out of industry research, leaving growers to pick up the tab. However,the president of the North Coast Oilseeds Association, Paul Flemming, says it has been a positive thing

for Riverland, North Coast and Northern Australian farmers. "The three associations put their headstogether and it has been really good, because it has combined the whole three areas into one," hesays. "We've wanted to have our own say on what happens with the breeding program, and the bestway for us to do that is to actually be a partner in the breeding program.".. Read

NZ Wine exports reaching $1bn markWine exports are likely to top a billion dollars this year, according to New Zealand Winegrowers CEOPhilip Gregan. "The strong performance in the past year now makes it increasingly likely that annualNew Zealand wine exports will reach $1 billion some time in calendar year 2009, one year earlier thanpreviously forecast," Gregan said.
