Nestlé Health Science Launches LowFODMAPCentral.com



FLORHAM PARK, N.J., April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nestlé Health Science today announced the launch of LowFODMAPCentral.com, a unique comprehensive online resource offering information and printable guides about FODMAPs and a Low FODMAP Diet. The LowFODMAPCentral.com website has been developed to support both the consumer seeking more information about a Low FODMAP Diet and the healthcare professional looking to build knowledge and practice tools.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols. Gastroenterology researchers at Monash University in Australia coined the FODMAP acronym in 2005 to classify specific types of short-chain carbohydrates that can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine. It is the poor absorption of these food components that may trigger symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea and excessive gas in people with digestive sensitivities. FODMAPs are commonly found in a wide variety of ordinary foods, such as wheat bread, beans, yogurt, milk, apples, onions, garlic, cashews, mushrooms, honey, and more.

LowFODMAPCentral.com was developed by Nestlé Health Science, a company focused on advancing the role of nutrition in the management of health. The site includes:

Information on FODMAPs and foods that contain them
Animated visuals of FODMAPs in the body
Tools that can help a person identify if this diet is right for them and if so, how to get started
Research summaries highlighting the efficacy of a Low FODMAP Diet
Recipes and guidance for following a Low FODMAP Diet both at home and away
Tips for finding a FODMAP knowledgeable registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN)

Muy interesante joemm. Me parece que es clave para los que tenemos sii que compañías alimentarias de la talla de Nestlé se percaten de dietas específicas para nosotros. Me pregunto si esto tendrá alguna repercusión a nivel comercial... Más importante aún, me pregunto si se darán cuenta de que lo mejor son los alimentos naturales típicos de una dieta paleo, en vez de los procesados, ricos en harinas y azúcares refinados... y como eso puede afectar a los intereses económicos de Nestlé...

Gracias por compartirlo!
