Following the highly successful FDIN Conference last year, bringing together leading scientists from around the world to meet with industry to discuss innovative commercial opportunities for the gold standard Mediterranean Diet, Dr Simon Poole and Dr Mabel Blades have published a report of the evidence most relevant for the food and drink industry in the respected Journal of Nutrition and Food Science.
Author and consultant on the health benefits of the Mediterranean way of life Dr Simon Poole chaired the FDIN seminar in June 2012, and is director of “Positively Good for You – a Taste of the Mediterranean” producers of extra healthy infused extra virgin olive oils for drizzling, dressing and dipping.
He commented:”We medical professionals are sometimes accused of living in ivory towers and the food industry of placing profits before health, so it was a real privilege to invite experts in the field of nutrition to meet with a common interest in understanding the future of healthy new product development.
“It was a logical progression to publish a review of the most relevant studies both for industry and the scientific community to support the development of new initiatives in the future and to bridge the difference in perspectives.”
Mabel Blades Registered Dietitian, trainer, author, editor and consultant said:
“The Mediterranean Diet with the wealth of fruit and vegetables, B vitamins, essential fatty acids and low GI carbohydrates can also have a beneficial effect on boosting mood and feelings of well being –so important for anyone especially during the winter months.”
