Todd Runestad, Functional Ingredients

L.A. County Passes Sweeping
Ban on Plastic Bags
November 16, 2010
Enacting one of the nation's most aggressive environmental measures, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to ban plastic grocery bags in unincorporated areas of the county.
The vote was 3-1, supported by Supervisors Gloria Molina, Mark Ridley-Thomas, and Zev Yaroslavsky, and opposed by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. Supervisor Don Knabe was absent.
The ban, which will cover nearly 1.1 million residents countywide, is to the point: "No store shall provide to any customer a plastic carryout bag." An exception would be made for plastic bags that are used to hold fruit, vegetables or raw meat in order to prevent contamination with other grocery items. MORE

Fusion Formulations - The GMP certified leader in contract manufacturing
August 2010
How do you know which contract manufacturer is right for you?
Here are some points to keep in mind during your search.
1. Reputation - Does the company have a good standing within the industry? Can they provide references? Reputations are earned and say a lot about a company. Ask around and see what you can learn about potential manufacturers.
2. Compatibility - Do the facilities, equipment, processes, services, quality and certifications meet your needs? Does their corporate philosophy match yours?
3. GMP Certification - The NNFA GMP Certification Program is designed to verify compliance of member suppliers of dietary supplements with a standardized set of good manufacturing practices (GMPs). This program ensures that all elements of the manufacturing process are reviewed and that processes are sufficiently controlled so products meet their purported quality.
4. Capacity - Does the manufacturer have the capacity to meet your sales demands?
5. Commitment - How valued is your business? Will you and your products be a priority?
6. Communication - Does the manufacturer have an infrastructure that allows them to provide accurate, comprehensive and timely information? Does your point of contact stay in touch with you and understand your goals?
7. Cost - Cost is, of course, very important. But do not base your decision solely on cost. A less-expensive manufacturer might mean a smaller staff, and less people to work on your project. Quality and quality control should be the highest priorities.

House, Senate Conference
Rejects Expanded FTC Powers
Victory for NPA, Industry, Thanks
to Strong Grassroots, Lobbying Effort
(June 25, 2010)
In another victory for Natural Products Association (NPA) members and the industry, early this morning, conferees on the Wall Street Reform bill (S. 3217) decided not to include in the final legislation sweeping new powers for the Federal Trade Commission. Such additional authority very likely would have led to advertising rules on the industry that would have undercut the protections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).
"This has been one of the top legislative priorities for the NPA for the last six months," said John Gay, NPA's executive director and CEO. "I am proud of the way our members responded to our calls to write their senators and representatives, and to urge their customers to do the same. I am also proud of the hard work put in by our staff and lobby team. Good grassroots and good lobbying are a powerful combination."

Harvard researchers conduct a
real-world test of soda taxes
Los Angeles Times (June 17, 2010)
Another day, another study on soda taxes.
But this one isn't based on mathematical models or unreliable food frequency questionnaires. This time, researchers at Harvard implemented a temporary soda tax in the cafeteria of the school's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Then they waited to see whether actual people changed their drinking habits.
It turns out that they did. During a four-week period when the price of a 20-ounce bottle of soda went up by 45 cents - which amounted to a 35% price increase - sales fell by 26%. Meanwhile, sales of bottled diet soda rose by 20%. (The researchers said they were unable to change the prices of fountain drinks, so those soft drinks were not subject to the tax.)

Vitamin D: Why You Are Probably
NOT Getting Enough and How
That Makes You Sick
Mark Hyman, MD Practicing physician and pioneer in functional medicine
What vitamin may we need in amounts up to 25 times higher than the government recommends for us to be healthy?
What vitamin deficiency affects 70-80 percent of the population, is almost never diagnosed and has been linked to many cancers, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic muscle pain, bone loss and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis?
What vitamin is almost totally absent from our food supply?
What vitamin is the hidden cause of much suffering that is easy to treat?
The answer to all of these questions is vitamin D. Over the last 15 years of my practice, my focus has been to discover what the body needs to function optimally. Vitamin D, a nutrient (more of a hormone and gene modulator) is a critical, essential ingredient for health and optimal function. The problem is that most of us don't have enough of it because we work and live indoors, use sun block and can't get enough from our diet--even in fortified foods.

Lots of Potential for Prebiotics-
But Do Customers Know It?
By Nutritional Outlook staff
U.S. consumers may not be as well-versed in prebiotics as they are in probiotics, but that could all change with a little more effort to publicize prebiotics' benefits, say industry members. Nutritional Outlook recently caught up with Pashen Black, Tate & Lyle's (Decatur, IL) marketing communications manager, for a quick chat about the potential of prebiotics.
Nutritional Outlook:
What opportunities for growth do you see in the fiber market?
Pashen Black:
There's definitely an opportunity to start selling consumers on some of the benefits of prebiotics and help them understand what those benefits are. Until now, there hasn't really been as much marketing by companies of prebiotics as there has been of probiotics.

The problem is that if you did this, you'd be very wrong. There are two issues pending in Congress right now that warrant your immediate attention.

FDA Plans To Limit Amount
Of Salt Allowed In Processed
Foods For Health Reasons
By Lyndsey Layton, Washington Post Staff Writer (Tuesday, April 20, 2010)
The Food and Drug Administration is planning an unprecedented effort to gradually reduce the salt consumed each day by Americans, saying that less sodium in everything from soup to nuts would prevent thousands of deaths from hypertension and heart disease. The initiative, to be launched this year, would eventually lead to the first legal limits on the amount of salt allowed in food products. The government intends to work with the food industry and health experts to reduce sodium gradually over a period of years to adjust the American palate to a less salty diet, according to FDA sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the initiative had not been formally announced.
